Getting closer to 30 mins/5k

Set a new PB at my local parkrun this morning, which also involves three climbs up a hill. Delighted with my progress but I'm keeping 30 minutes as a personal goal to aim for.

(I think the tree cover in a couple of sections interferes with the GPS as everyone in Strava reports slightly different distances πŸ˜‚)

I keep getting 5.2k for my ParkRun. Most annoying as also aiming for sub 30.

Well done on your PB πŸ‘ŒπŸ½

They vary a lot, before I deleted my app this morning after I completed W8R2 it said that I had run that 28 minutes in... wait for it:-8 seconds and I had burned 8 calories, wow, I have installed a new app for my third 28 minutes run on Monday, my Smartphone is compatible with Strava.

Yeah. All GPS devices can suffer interference, including your car sat nav and phone. One time my satnav insisted I was driving *in* a canal when driving through Manchester city centre.
