I did w5r2 tonight which was an effort! Finished red faced and breathing heavily - that’s because (not!) I’m in the top 10% with average pace of 4.59 min/km 😂 (if only!)
Map looks like I was running randomly all over the place - not 2 circuits of a park! Anyone else use this (or others) and any ideas why this happened?
😂😂😂
I've seen this on MapMR before. Some GPS glitch. Tho it makes you look like an ant on acid which i guess is quite cool...😁
GPS - always and its utterly random - it does it when you are using a route you’ve used before.... aarrgghh
Are you going to follow that same route on the next run? 🤣.
😂 Don’t think the guys playing football in the middle of the playing field would be impressed! They looked very professional with their strips and spectators
were you listening to the Benny Hill music?
😂
Similar thing happened to me. I did a km in one and a half minutes 😂 So annoying. I want a proper running watch now. I’m not sure I trust MMRun!!
😂 I was even thinking ‘I’d better slow down’ 🙄😂
Funniest thing I have seen all day!
I used map my run for the first time today- wasn’t quite as wild as yours but definitely wasn’t convinced it was that accurate - I’ll be flying through 5k if it is!(and I can assure you I’m not)
My birthday is a couple of months away so hoping I can keep the running up and perhaps treat myself to some kind of watch/tracker - although I don’t think shoes can wait that long.
Well I think 5k is easily doable - I did 6.7k today and I’m only week 5 😜😂🤣
Is Strava any better? I synch my Polar M400 into Strava but haven't used it standalone. MMR is clearly bonkers in this instance...
?? Will need that translated! Google says a watch! A friend who has run for years uses strava - do you need a watch to use that - I did read gps on watches is better than phones
Don't think you need a watch with Strava. I think it's like MapMyRun but more "hardcore". Download the free version and give it a try. If you like it then make sure you set the privacy settings to maximum tho....
I use Strava on my phone and seems to be ok. Although better when you run in a straight line. 😊
First and foremost, well done for finishing the session. I bet it does feel good to have completed that one.
Secondly, as said above, I'll bet GPS. Did you make sure the app was running in the foreground?
I used to use that app, until I found out how to use my Fitbit Charge 2 to track sessions, using GPS linked from my phone. If you have one, you could try that?
I have - how do you do that?
Firstly, you need to make sure that the "Run" exercise is set up on your device. You can use the app to do this. Let me know if you need me to go through that.
When you're about to start your run, close all other apps apart from your podcast or MP3 player, then open the FitBit app. I only advise this as my phone can sometimes get flaky if I don't do that.
On your Charge2, press the button a few times until your exercise section appears (I have "Run" as the first entry, but this could be any of about 10, I think. Tap the screen until "Run" appears.
Hold down the button until the device buzzes. you will see a timer start.
Double check that the FitBit app is running in the foreground of your phone.
Your device should have a little smartphone icon to show that there is an active link to your phone. It should now GPS track your location.
Oh, one final thing, you will need to have given the FitBit app permission to use GPS tracking on your phone.
This is a summary, I can help with any more technical detail if you need.
Good luck.
Thanks will try that - I use the c25k app not podcast - does that matter? So 2 apps open plus my music on
I don't think it matters, just put the Fitbit app in the foreground after starting music and the C25k app.
I use the c25k app, my Fitbit app and my Samsung health app and music all at the same time! The samsung health and fitbit give me more or less the same results. If you start the run on your fitbit you can sync it to the app later...Don't even have to have the app open. I found that out by accident!
Priceless! Some days it feels like that's what a map of my work day would look like 😆
Your map looks like you were dancing 😂 great job 👏🏼👏🏼
😂😂😂😂💦You are holding it wrong.
Bonkers!!! 😂😂😂
