You need 100K total during a calendar year. So if you flew 10K in the challenge (to take a reasonable example), then another 90K before year end.

There are rumors that AA is allowing EXP challenge to top tier elites of other carriers to lure them away. If you have such a status elsewhere, it may be worth a call.
