How to measure distance travelled.....?

[Lylagrace]

Hello, just finished my first week and looking at the comments how are people working out the distance they have waljed/run?

Did take dog along.... but she’s a cavalier and her big brown eyes have finally worked their magic and will take her out separately for a walk!

Which means I may travel further and faster lol

You can use either a run tracking app such as Runkeeper, Strava, Endomondo, etc. on a smart phone, or a GPS equipped running watch or a Fitbit.

It is not necessary to know how far you have run to complete the plan.

Have you read the guide to the plan?healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

I'd be very, very cautious about using any sort of stat measuring whilst doing C25K. Afterwards, yes, it can be a motivator, but we see over and over and over that people get disheartened by irrelevances.

Thank you, and appreciate time taken to reply.

I love using my fitness monitor, it's a cheapo version of a Fitbit (something unpronounceable), and I have used it all through the programme. I love seeing a map of my route and all the data - but haven't started working on speed yet, I'm still slow and steady!

Thank you, and I’m slow and steady too
