Just completed W9R2 and ran a bit extra to complete 5km.... ๐
According to Strava I did this in just over 32mins, so am feeling really great! Now hereโs the but...
I also wear a activity tracker which would have included my warmup walk and cool down walk and it says I only did 4.8km.
I actually run on a track so I know 5km is 12.5 laps... but as I was relying on Strava I didnโt mentally count my laps... I had this doubt last week when I first used Strava and it said Iโd done 4.4km in 27.4 mins... I have previously counted laps and I didnโt think Iโd run that far...
So now Iโm not sure what App I should rely upon for distance... any suggestions?
Iโll be doing my graduation run at a Parkrun this Saturday...๐ค

I am just a Stoneage Techie Dinasur at present.๐ฆ
But here is a little tip, perhaps, that might just help you at present, I lose my count also.๐ค
You are right, of course,12.5 x 400m = 5k. But 4 laps of a 440 yd circuit is close to 400 m and is one mile, So 12 laps is 3miles and that is 5k close.๐
As you knock them off just count them down every four as one mile then your second, then your last and third.You might find that easier.๐ค I keep tally also with my fingers as I pass my start point. ๐ค I try not clench my fist though, tesion๐๐๐ At least I can carry on when techie stuff goes walk about.๐
A 10 min mile is 10 km/hr pace or 5km in 30 minutes.๐
Hope this is not confusing , but it might reassure you until your techie stuff catches up.๐ค
I liked to think of 10 minute miles and I think what a lovely margin of opportunity to even get to an eight minute mile , never mind a four. Dream on.๐ค๐๐๐
