Karen Collins has produced some great record sheets. (They are PDF files) I adapted the idea to suit our college and the students have to complete challenges such as:

Weightlifting - a book of more than 450 pages

Marathon - read for one hour straight

Triathlon - three books of different genre

Relay - you and two friends read the same book

Modern Pentathlon - Five books of different genres
