I use strava, but there are loads of apps out there that will measure your distance and give you a record of your runs/jogs

Phone accuracy has improved in recent years, but still not as accurate as a GPS watch..

Had a wee read of your link, thanks. Totally confused now. All these GPS signals around us...... it's weird.... Will try one of the different apps.

I’m using Runkeeper to map my route in advance - it follows the roads so it gives a good accurate measurement.

Never thought of mapping my route 😲 that's an idea, thank you. Going to start wk 9 so it could work.

Map my walk app works for me ☺️
