Just posting for fun ! These look pretty huge mountains, eh ?! 🏔🏔🏔

But the total elevation gain was 71 metres (only ?) i don’t know what other people do on their runs - this was just 35 mins, 3 miles ‘cadence drill’ workout in the middle (4 bursts of 30 seconds up to 200 steps per min with 30 seconds recovery between). I just love the colours in my chart ! Can you spot where I had to stop at the traffic lights to cross the road ?!? (Hint - near the beginning !).

I have absolutely no idea how to interpret it either. I can understand my freebie Strava stuff but that's about my limit. I'm beginning to think a running watch would be wasted on me!

Ah go on with you ! If I told you the watch calculates your ‘fitness age’ would that persuade you ?!?!!! 🤓

Only if it were nice to me!I've just turned 60 so would be mortally offended if it announced I were 80+! 🤣

Also, I've just realised why I was so baffled by the numbers (apart from the fact that my brain isn't wired that way): I live at 680m...

That's a very fast cadence in the middle!

My max for elevation is about 20m in the middle of a longer run, the equivalent of just one of your peaks. 160spm is about my average running cadence too.

Just call me Speedy Gonzales ! But it’s just for 30 seconds and repeated 4 times - couldn’t keep it up longer ! Certainly couldn’t do it uphill either !
