Week 9 run 2 - Strava recording fail!

Had to drag myself out this morning and went on a really great route that had lots of nice hills (!) as well as a few straights - and then Strava totally let me down and failed to record anything 😣

My watch says I went 5.15km though (walk + run) so that’s all good!

Wow just one more run to go - and then I’m away in Austria next week so won’t be running as I plan to get some decent walking done instead 🏔

Whoa, that’s frustrating! 😩 But at least your watch didn’t let you down!

Have fun in Austria. We’re off to Munich and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, but I intend to continue running!

Bet you’re looking forward to your graduation run when you return! How exciting! 🏃‍♀️💪🏻👍🏻🙌🏃‍♂️😎

Oops, just saw you’ll be graduating before you go! Even better, you can bask in your glory when you’re away! 😀

I shall definitely be basking in glory! The weather isn’t looking great for where we are going in the Tyrol so that’s an added reason not to pack my running shoes 😁

Urgh!! Mine failed on my grad run!!! One to go - wow well done. And a lovely break in Austria 🇦🇹 to celebrate! Look forward to reading your grad run post. 😬😬

Thanks Rip! Looking back on my route and the elevation is something I really look forward to as it is a proper record of all the hard work 😅

I had one run before I got the Garmin watch, where Strava recorded me zig-zagging through fields beside my actual route. It suggested that I had run about twice as far as really had - at a pace that Mo would have been proud of. Fortunately it was a route I'd used before.

Grad run next!

Have fun in Austria, one of my favourite places.

It played up a few times when I started using it but a couple of tweaks (eg turning Wi-fi off on my phone) and I’ve had no problems since. I’ll just have to re-run the same route for my graduation run on Friday morning!
