Let Us Customize Challenge Start Time

[RachelQ]

we all take part in events where we have no control over the start time, it would've good if we could customise when the 24hr clock starts for the day. For example I took part in the London to Brighton overnight walk, my start time was 7.45, on the sat I walked approx 90,000 steps and on the sunday I walked 74,000 steps, if I had been able to set my start time as 7.45, I would have got my 100,000 step in a day badge.

Hello @RachelQ.

Thanks for taking the time to share your suggestion with us. I can definitely see how having an option to manually adjust the start time could be very useful. Specially for users that aren't on the same timezone as others. 

Let's see what other users have to say about this.
