My longest run yet - but was it 11k or 12k? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”

Set out on this beautiful morning to do a long run. A fair amount of faffage on where to go took place, but I eventually picked a route alongside the river, so my dog could come with me and run off the lead. ๐Ÿ˜€

I left the house debating how far to actually run. I decided on 11k. Parked the car, fired up MMR and my Garmin, and my dog and I set off. All good, albeit really warm. Itโ€™s a pretty tow path and there were a few dog walkers and people dressed for running (not running though). We exchanged pleasantries and I trotted along. I ate 3 Jelly Babies, one at 4k, one at 7k and one at 9k - but I lost the fourth one Iโ€™d brought along! Denied, I love Jelly Babies! ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

I had noticed the Garmin buzzes and the MMR lady werenโ€™t in sync, but that often happens so I wasnโ€™t that worried about it, however they seemed extra far out today! Garmin buzzed every 500m/km and MMR updated me every km, and I noticed they were soon over 500m apart! I ran until MMR said 11k (yay, longest ever run!), but when I glanced at my watch it said 11.83k, so I continued running until it buzzed 12k, then stopped. ๐Ÿ˜€

So whilst I was chuffed to bits to run my longest distance today, Iโ€™m not 100% sure how far it was! Looking at the time though, I think MMR had a satellite issue somewhere along the way as it was way out (13 minutes!) on the time. So, my VRBs, Iโ€™m pretty sure I ran a whole extra kilometre without planning on it! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Strava agrees, and the auto MMR does too - it always shows my manual reading, and another which must be linked to Strava or Garmin - I have absolutely no idea! ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…

Whatever, I am claiming 12k today! For me thatโ€™s mega! ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ‰

I'd definitely go for 12k!!

Just one technical question... Do u use strava alongside garmin?? As in record on garmin and strava at the same time, then sync?

cheekychipmunks profile image
cheekychipmunksGraduate10 in reply to Deals1

Thanks Deals! ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

I have Strava linked to Garmin so whenever I sync my watch to Garmin Connect it automatically syncs to Strava too. MMR I set up manually, but thereโ€™s also an auto sync which I didnโ€™t realise (hence the 2 different MMR times/distances). ๐Ÿ™„

cheekychipmunks profile image
cheekychipmunksGraduate10 in reply to Runsome

It does it automatically when I sync to Garmin Connect. So does MMR, but separately to the manual MMR (hence the 2 MMR results.) I think Iโ€™ll dispense with the manual tracking. It just adds confusion! ๐Ÿ˜…

Well done CCM! That is a long run whichever one you go for... my mmr and strava used to be about 200 m apart on my old phone, on my newer one they are closer together. Strava was always the less favourable of the two options, so running that distance means that you have in all likelihood done a 12k!! Hip hip hooray!!!

Thatโ€™s definitely a 12k run cheekychipmunks. I think Iโ€™ve read somewhere that if you have more than one GPS application going , they can sometimes confuse each other.

It was a lovely run and my dog had a blast! Lots of good smells, but luckily nothing worth rolling in today! ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ•

I've done a couple of 10km and would have no problem going further. I've been working on hills and did my first cross country kind of run at the weekend which was amazing. Planning to get out on some of the lovely flat trails now that the weather is nicer so I think a longer run on easy terrain would be perfect! I tend to just go out there and see what I feel like once I'm running rather than any set plan...we'll see! :-) 10 miles seems like a good target!

Oh believe me, Jonathan, having scrutinised both MMR results, and judging by all the comments on here, Iโ€™m most certainly claiming it as 12k now! ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘
