10k consolidated- or did I?

[Sarararara]

After several runs plodding along with audible, today it was pounding tunes and a bit of welly for a better 10k time.

Last time I stopped off for a swim part way but today was non-stop and utterly knackering! 10k according to MMR, but then Strava said it was only 9.9k. Nooooo! Can I still have my badge ju-ju- ?

I'd give you a badge because a) you're lovely and b) you drew a nice picture of a something. But I'm a complete sucker for people who draw pictures on their technology. xx

Those apps can be so inconsistent! (Which is why I ended up getting a Garmin, which has far better GPS than a phone!) But who is going to quibble over a few metres? That’s a great run, and I would certainly say that counts as a 10k! Well done!

Did you run from Whitstable to Herne Bay? If so, funny coincidence, as I am planning to do that walk today!

Happy running, Sara. 😁👏

Hello local! I ran up to the nudist beach at Swalecliffe then down to Whit golf course. HBay is a future prospect as it seems to be HM route.

Lovely day today, enjoy your walk!

Well, not so local...I live in Beckenham, but hopped on a train to Herne Bay for my fix of the sea! We actually ended up walking from Herne Bay to Reculver, and it was beautiful! It was a rest day for me, so no running, but the walk we did would have been an amazing running route! We ended up walking 9 miles and my legs were aching like mad last night! Walking must work some different muscles, as I was aching more than after a 10km run!

Lovely bit of England you live in, you are so lucky!

I think that is definately badge-worthy! Well done on you 10k!🙂

[mountaindreamer Graduate10]

The apps all seem to give slightly different distance results. I’d not worry too much about slight variations. Juju is kind, so I’m sure she’ll give you your badge! 😊❤️

Your badge looks lovely - and well earned.

[Sarararara Graduate10 in reply to ancientrunner]

Thank you fellow grad! Now just have to decide whether to switch my app allegiance to Strava or stick with MMR. Decisions decisions!

[johnm12 Graduate10]

Now you have the perfect justification for upgrading the tech.....

Well done

[Sarararara Graduate10 in reply to johnm12]

Hah yes! After deliberating, I’m on the lookout for a nice black Fitbit Versa at an outrageously good price!

[johnm12 Graduate10]

very good. I went for the garmin forerunner 235, which is fine as a watch too. The Garmin connect app is also very good. Personal choice ofc, I think they are all getting pretty good now. Happy running!
