10k and new route😊😊

[Buddy34]

Thought I could try a completely new route today . Started the garmin got a gps signal pressed start . Watch buzzed that I'd completed 10k I saved it .

Came home and opened the garmin connect app it loaded steps but no run. This is only the second time this has happened. Not sure why but that's tech for you.

On a brighter note it was my fastest 10k😊

Well Done Buddy, good going!

And just look at that ... nearly 800 calories, that's an extra feast you've earned today wow. I'm using Garmin Connect / MyFitnessPal to lose half a stone of Christmas excess and I really look forward to run days where I don't have to feel like I'm starving quite so much!

One thing I've noticed once in a while with my Garmin is a problem sync'ing, almost like something has got stuck. It happened to me when one morning my sleep info didn't come through. To fix it (after Googling) I connected my Garmin to my PC via the USB cable and opened Garmin Express and sync'd from there. That seemed to clear out the blockage and normal service resumed.

See if it works for you.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Brian-P6]

Thanks . It's strange don't know why it happens . The run is on the watch so I know I had gps signal and pressed start and stop and save. Just one of those things. Just a nuisance when we are so used to that map and things.

Will go out on Wednesday again it should be ok😊

1.03.35 is a very good time, a PB as well, congratulations, you feel much better now than you did last Monday, a new route too, it won't be long before you can get a sub 60 minute 10K.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks AlMorr, yes I feel so much better than last week. 😊😊

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Just seen you've changed your avitar🐕

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Ha Ha, I tried to get a photo of my cat and my next door neighbours dog, a bit of the cat is shown and you can see the dog as well.

[Couchpotato2 in reply to AlMorr]

Yes I was just going to comment on that too, not the usual colour! Lovely dog. Oh and well done buddy!

[Hidden]

That's soooooo frustrating when technology go awry, but it's a cracking time sub 60 next

[ju-ju- Graduate10]

Superb work, well done

[SlowLoris]

It will be saved on the watch. I find sometimes switching off and on works. Both watch and phone. I think the cache gets too full if you don't restart them now and again.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to SlowLoris]

Thanks . It is on the watch as in the photo attached to my post. So I turned phone off and watch. Unpaired both then linked them again.

[Jazzyrunner Graduate10]

Wow well done! Great running, even if annoying tech 🙄

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Flipping amazing shame the app didn’t register it but it’s there and so fast

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thanks. Just one of those things that happens with tech. Just more annoying because it was a route I'd never run before . 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Buddy34]

Yes it’s always good to look at the map afterwards

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

What are we like🤣🤣🤣

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Buddy34]

I got so very cross that i didn’t get a map on Saturday and i don’t know why i have loads of maps of that park

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Have you been out running again since with the Garmin 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Buddy34]

yes i ent round the block after you told me which button to press just over 1k and it’s nice to know i can get a map, cover that in under 10 minutes and see the map, sadly i felt really tired yesterday and today am full of cold, but soon as my energy levels are back i shal be mapping our runs

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Brilliant, hope your feeling better soon 😊😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Buddy34]

Thank you

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10]

Good run Buddy34! Maybe your increase in speed over the past few weeks has taken Garmin beyond its design parameters!! Great stuff 👏👏👏👏👏

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Beachcomber66]

🤣🤣🤣. I wasn't intentionally going faster as there are quite a few inclines on the way , which was great on the way back

[UpTheStanley Graduate10]

Have you got Connect loaded on a computer as well as on a phone? If so, worth trying hard-wiring watch and computer together (just plug the charging cable into a spare USB port) and opening Connect on the computer. If not, well worth loading it now - much more post-run fun available on a decent sized screen …….

[tiggs1 Graduate10]

You are totally nailing these 10k runs now, well done

[sTrongFuse Graduate10]

Fantastic effort, although I'm a bit miffed that you're now officially faster than me... 😂

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to sTrongFuse]

I'm a bit more than miffed that I've no map to show for it🤣🤣.

It was an out and back run, going there was lots of inclines not to bad so it was even better on the way back.

You're away ahead of me on the distance , don't know if I can manage 16k or 10 miles.

[sTrongFuse Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

It took me a few months to build up to that from 10k so I'm sure you'd manage if you felt you wanted to.

[ktsok]

Great time, well done! Tech hiccups are so frustrating. Have you tried connecting your watch via your PC? There are settings there where you can retrieve runs... I had to fiddle with that a while back and then it showed on the App.

[Maz1234]

Well done Buddy. You have definitely got your energy back.

[Saxart Graduate10]

Well done Buddy. That's a very good time!

Can't help with the Garmin issue sorry, I haven't worked mine out fully...

[badger187]

Well done Buddy, that's a brilliant run!
