Feeling Amused

[Maddee_6333]

I use MapMyFitness on my phone to track my workouts, it accepts tracking information from my Garmin.

And then the Health App on my phone uses MapMyFitness as a source of data.

With me so far?

So why - not that I’m too bothered - does the Health App then NOT get all the info that the Garmin provided?

For your amusement, I provide you with a screenshot of last Saturday when, according to said Health App, I only burned 72 calories even though it knows - on some level - that I ran 10K 🤣🤣🤣

Don't you just love technology! After your 10k I would say you could have a large slice of cake. Based on technology you might be able to lick the spoon lol. Great app for weight loss I guess!

I drank an energy drink after. And had some salty crisps! Computer would have said, ‘No’. 😆

Ha, ha! Technology 😕 I love the 80 floors!!

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to skysue16]

The floors thing makes me laugh. It’s not like it’s a constant or anything. 😁

Ha ha! Never trust a calorie counter! We run ⚖️ We eat! Simples!🙂

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

That would be simples, yes 😀

[Sadie-runs Graduate10]

But did you really climb 80 flights?!

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Sadie-runs]

Well... we certainly climbed one pretty long, steep flight at the beginning of the event. Official elevation gain for the route is 215 metres.

[Langley-Loper Graduate10]

Wow - all that in 20 minutes! Can i borrow your time machine??

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Langley-Loper]

I know! I’d really be in the record books if I could do all that 🤣🤣🤣

[misswobble Graduate10]

i have that apple health thing on my phone and it links into WW automatically. I never noticed the calorie count to be honest 🤓

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

You probably don’t need to 🙂

73cal's you need to pull your finger out and start working!

I do a similar thing only mine is Sunnto-Strava-Fitbit I wear fitbit constantly apart from when running/cycling/swimming when I wear my Suunto running watch. But fitbit will pull all the data in from Strava and work out the correct cal's, steps and flight of stairs but won't show me HR data.

Although flight of stairs is a bit misleading it should be done in elevation gained as cycling/running uphill adds loads of flights of stairs, I can understand it cant tell the difference when going up some stairs or running up a hill.

Glad it’s not just me and my gadgets.

Elevation gained would be much more sensible - says the woman who lives at the top of a hill. 👍
