Who uses RK? my pace line has gone flat! It must be something simple to put it right, I can still scroll over and see pace but I liked the graph!

Anyone?

I use runkeeper have done for 12 months. My baseline is always rather odd I never bother with it, because it seems meaningless.

No idea, sorry. Is it just on this run, or have your other runs lost their graphs as well?

It just means you are the perfect runner, Curly, who can maintain a set pace throughout an entire run. Try some walking breaks on your next run and see if they show up.

Yesterday my Runkeeper started talking to me in an american accent and quoting stats at per in speed / miles rather than the pace / km it used to. When I got back I worked out there must have been an upgrade as it was visually different. I just went into the settings and put it all back how I liked it.

The invasion of Gwendolen P Runkeeper.......I have warned about her before now on this very forum. Be careful, be very careful.

I just went back and read your old posts - hilarious!!!!!! Yes, Gwendolen butted in on my run and replaced my lovely friend Annabelle. I have zero patience with terse women though ....... I soon found the option to boot her out and get Annabelle back. You men might let women run rings around you but no one gets between me and my running buddy! :)

The y-axis scale of the pace chart is very stretched because of whatever happened at the very start of your run. It shows you moving very slowly for the first 10-20m (probably due to a GPS error when your phone/RK got its satellite fix).

You could edit the (.GPX) file (to remove that first 10-20m) in an external program and import back into RK.

Ah, that's interesting... I set the GPS going then pause it while I do my warm up walk.. I only set it recording the run when I actually start running. Maybe that's why...

I am not sure Curly but if you place your cursor on that first little bit of the chart you can see the distance covered and the time taken.

It is difficult to tell from the little picture you have attached but it appears that your first 0.01Km (10m) has taken (according to RK) around 40-50 seconds which is why a very slow pace shows up on that first tiny little bit of the chart and stretches the scale.

I am by no means an expert but if you like, you can email me the data file and I will try to 'clean it up' for you. Send me a message and we can go through the steps.

Not what you're looking for?
