Not quite what it seems 😀

A little Garmin Forerunner 35 experiment today ....... results as shown 🤔

But I was on skis - does this still count?

I also did a mile in under 4 minutes, apparently!

Can you edit to skiing or other?

Running on ski slopes sounds a bit risky!

I could change the title, but it would stay forever in my running stats if I didn’t delete it (which I will eventually). The fun will be seeing the run tracks superimposed on the satellite image of the resort, on my PC back home.

Awful faff though - off glove, select “run outdoors”, wait for satellites, press start, on glove, ski ...... and glove off again at the end to stop. Won’t be doing it too often!

And yes he’s faster than me on skis too!

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

So unfair but as long as you have fun anyway!

I did a Parkrun one day and forgot to press the stop button at the finish line on my Garmin Forerunner 15. I hopped into the car after and drove home recording a new fastest mile pace which is still on my records before I realised and pressed stop.

Doh! I understand that Stravs will allow you to to chop out the stuff you don't want. It will add to your stats but will be discounted against any challenges you may have.

I’ve been tempted to do this the last few times skiing. I’ve been so curious how many km we ski in a day, especially given we’ve had such cold weather there has been no lineups. We would go straight from the slopes to the lift and repeat. It was awesome. I was thinking of just starting and letting it run all day but then would have to delete the lift time and distance. Your way would be more accurate but definitely a lot more faffage. We were with a snowboarder this last trip so there was a bit of a delay at the top while he got strapped in. I might have to give it a go next time.

I hope you guys are having a great holiday and are finally getting better temperatures.
