Sort of upset

It's the weekend and time for my morning run.

Decided on a different route and off I set, music playing and not a care but yet enjoying the run. 42 minutes later I slowed down for my cooling walk.

When I got home found I was 300m short of 5k. Off Monday so going to do the same run but this time add a bit to get the distance.

Never mind, Andy.. There's always next time, eh? Just sneak up on that last 300m and give em a good hard slap

[AndyIoW Graduate in reply to sallenson]

It will get that slap Monday morning around 5am lol.

Oh wow! That’s brilliant...well done!

[AndyIoW Graduate in reply to Oaktree2]

Thank you. I could say it was over 5k if I added the warm-up and cool down parts but I try to only record the 'running' , more like steady jog, bit.

My Polar results showed I did 30 minutes in heart rate zone 3 and 10 minutes in 4 (uphill bits).

Wow Andy that’s still a great run

This is the one area where stats can steal the joy. After all, you'd just had an "enjoyable" 42min run!

Remember when the very thought of a 42 min run was nothing like "enjoyable"?

You'll beat it Monday but don't let it detract from an otherwise excellent run 👍😁

Phones are notoriously inaccurate. I bet you did 5k really 👍

[AndyIoW Graduate in reply to telford_mike]

Wish it was the phone but unfortunately it was my Polar M400 tracker which is linked to Strava.

I know now I need to take the 2nd right not the 1st right which will add those extra meters.

[AndyIoW Graduate]

Not really unhappy as the route seemed to have lots of longish slight inclines and very few downhill bits. So a proper heart workout.

The other route has a steeper hill and a very short steep down bit. It's just over 1km per loop but leaving that for a Sept debut lol.
