CHRISTMAS RUN TRACKING CHALLENGE

Having just responded to Hidden 's post about running in her living room healthunlocked.com/couchto5... I put up a link, which you can see by going to her post, regarding " GPS tracking Art"

It just crossed my mind that it would be a bit of fun to see what you runners, with a bit of extra time on your hands over Christmas, could come up with in the same vein. I have to say, Keep it clean, but we are broad minded. People have actually proposed using this technique and if we get some good results we could go viral and get the site some free publicity. This site has some great examples figurerunning.com/blog/how-to/

Give it a go and post your results in a new post............now where's my watch......

Can't you do different colours by changing pace with Strava?

That could be a relief from blue.

in reply to IannodaTruffe

The initial strava map is orange. On Garmin Connect the same map is red and much more delicate.

This is lovely! Unintentionally, my C25K route was phallic shaped. Made me chuckle (but don't worry, I would never share it.)

Well if we don't see it, we might just think it is all in your mind, Sadie.

Extra meaning to the term "street art" ? Love it... good motivating idea, my runs mostly have been boring boxes so far!

Streets are easy, I have a real challenge with my footpaths.

I feel that by saying keep it clean you are just asking for trouble 😁
