Another ( Very short) Treadmill trot So also a short post! Oh, and another picture of Misty 🐱

Not sure it was worth putting the kit on for this but I did !

I was wanting to have a play with the pre set programs on the treadmill.

Little did I know that they only last for 10 minutes and include sections that are slower than a warm up walk ! Hmm....

I had already decided that I did not want this run to be uploaded to Strava so I turned off synch in Garmin connect before I started and I'm glad I did as it could only be described as Garmin garbage!

To be fair, I realise I'm never going to get accurate watch data when on the treadmill so I will in future leave synch off when using the treadmill and manually update Garmin connect with the treadmill data before sending to Strava.

I'm happy that treadmill data is reasonably accurate.

Going forward I don't think I will use the preset programs, I will just do manual runs either time or distance based and adjust the speed as I go !

I think I'm now due another couple of outside runs 😁

Aw Misty! Such a gorgeous pussycat 😻

And treadmill - such a wonderful gadget! xxx

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to roseabi]

Haha, yes to both ! 😁I'm certainly glad I have the treadmill as an alternative but looking forward to getting some decent distances again outside 😁

What a lovely photo of Misty 😊, she looks very chilled. And well done on another TM run! 😊

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Frenc]

Haha, Chilled is her default mode 😁Looking forward to some outside runs now !

[GTFC Graduate10]

It's all learning though Ian and good to try out all these things 😊

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to GTFC]

Absolutely, I'm ready to get back outside though now 😁

[Hidden in reply to Instructor57]

Will this entail taking the treadmill outdoors 🙃

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

🤣🤪🤪🤪

[Hidden in reply to Instructor57]

Treadmill

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Hèhè, with Runn your Garmin does get an accurate reading 😉.

Cute Misty 😍

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Haha, I'm not that worried that I will buy another add on !As I say, I'm happy with the treadmill data 😁👍

[Hidden in reply to Instructor57]

But Runn gives the data (close to the treadmill if your treadmill is so correct) through to your Garmin watch, because of which it can be loaded up on Strava immediately without having to do anything manually 😉😜

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Haha, yes I take your point Evy, It's just not at the top of my shopping list (Yet) 🤣

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

What a lovely photo of Misty, she is so cute, that was a nice short run on the treadmill for you, by the way I ran 7K this morning on my way each week to run 10K by the end of the month..

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Great , well done Al

Soon be back at that 10K 😁👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

Thanks Ian, as my heel is still slightly sore, especially when I run, I took that 7K run slow and steady with a couple of 1 minute walking breaks, my split 5K time was 38:18, the 7K was completed in a time of 55.20, which is a time that I have run a 8K sometime last year, anyway its not stopped me from running 🏃🏾, onwards and upwards to 8K next Wednesday.

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

38:18 is around my usual 5K time !

My quickest 5K was more than 12 months ago when I tried jeffing.

Came in at 32 something !

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

👍 🏃🏾

[Mormor1 Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

I can never understand how jeffing comes out faster than running!

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Mormor1]

Probably because when you resume running you start off at a higher pace than if you'd been running constantly

[Mormor1 Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

Interesting and reasonable..

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

Beautiful Misty 🥰🥰 It's good to have the option to use a treadmill but I bet you'll enjoy your next few runs outdoors 😃👏👏👏

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

Thank you , and yes she knows she's Beautiful as well 🤣And your right !

Looking forward to an outside run now 😁

[Roxdog Graduate10]

😀 Yes, spring is coming!

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Roxdog]

Let's hope so 😁🤞

[Mormor1 Graduate10]

I've been treadmill running and it's always different to my garmin results. I believe the treadmill but I'm wondering if it's about how fast you move your arms which is what garmin responds to. I experimented moving my arms very fast....and my garmin distance shot up much quicker than the tm??

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Mormor1]

Yes the accelerometers in the watch will use arm movement 👍

[Mormor1 Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

Conundrum solved!

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

…I’m just here for Misty! Does she have her own Instagram account yet?😉🐈💕

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

Haha no but it's an idea 😁

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Misty is quite the Queen Bee isn't she ? And she knows it.Interesting experiments on the treadmill though Ian

The outdoors is calling you though I feel . It was lovely and almost spring like this morning

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Birdlady64]

Yes, she knows it all right ! 😁And your right ! Outdoors IS calling 😁

[GailXrunning]

Enjoy! Just don’t forget to serve Misty’s breakfast spread before you head out.😉
