My stats ...😊😊I'm questioning my 5k?

[Myrar]

I ran on Sunday thinking id done 5k but I was a touch shy as only did 3.01 miles didn't realise 5k is 3.11 miles so I went our tonight and did my 3.11 miles and even got a PB of 39.06...I'm so chuffed ...I really did have to push so hard but not enough to injury myself ..I have a question how do I change my stats on the connect to km rather than miles ?.any help would be appreciated thanks ....Happy running everyone 😊😊

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

528 feet more and it’s done! Great job... good time... good run.

Must be a km setting in there somewhere... I don’t understand French metric so I use roman metric with changes for furlongs 😂

[Myrar Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thank you ... my watch says I have did the 5k now but it's still in miles also the app I can't change my stats to km ...I'm sure I will get it eventually 😊😊

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Myrar]

Why bother... half’s and marathons are measured in miles 😂😂😂😂😂

[Myrar Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Lol ..I don't think I will ever be able to do that ...It's taking me all my effort to do 5k 😊😊

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Myrar]

We shall see... bet you never thought you could run 5k!

[Myrar Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

That's true !!😊😊

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Myrar]

I’m happy staying imperial as the 5k plan I want to follow after this goes to 10 mile long runs... 10 is less than 16, so km is more scary!

[Myrar Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Good on you ...I am in awe at the amount of people going on to the 10k plan ...I would love to do it but feel it's too soon 😊😊

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

My mental arithmatic is not up to scratch. How many furlongs and chains in 5km?

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Jogunlikely]

I have no clue... how far is a kilometre?? Only time I ever use km is on here!

Google 24.856 furlongs... handy if you’re doing parkrun on horseback!

248.56 chains... not sure what use that is lol

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Chains? No use what so ever unless marking out a cricket pitch 🤣 but I like to think we can keep the old measurements alive

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Jogunlikely]

They’re back in schools! Makes better mathematical sense to teach imperial!

I never bought a kilo of anything... I laugh when the packages say net weight 454g! How crazy is that?

I lived in Germany for a while... a litre of beer is ridiculous, only British tourists buy them. A half litre isn’t quite enough. Pint is perfect, my German friends prefer it too!

112.654 as a speed limit is nonsense! 70 works.

I’ve yet to hear any sane person say they are 1.85 metres tall! Well, in this country

When my daughter was born the midwife told me her weight... I looked blankly at her... she got a chart out and said 7lb 10... I smiled.

The only measure that needed changing was the “month”. Nobody knows what one of those is!

Oh look, a Brexiteer. How quaint....

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to sallenson]

I am? News to me mate!

[sallenson Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Lol. All runners welcome here. I'm quite liking denominating C25K into perches and fathoms too

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to sallenson]

The signage would confuse at parkruns 😂

[sallenson Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

The signs would have to be much much bigger too

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to sallenson]

Could be an issue... gonna block some paths and nobody’s gonna read it! I struggle driving in Wales as I can’t teach myself to ignore the top of a roadworks notice... by the time I get to the English I’ve passed it... luckily my copilot is welsh.

[Macmac]

Yes, go to ‘more’ scroll down to ‘settings’, ‘user settings’, scroll down to ‘units’ then change ‘unit of measure’ to metric. Hit save and you have km. 🙂

[Myrar Graduate in reply to Macmac]

Thank you so much Mac ..Just change it there.. fantastic ..now it says 5 k that's better 😊😊

[Macmac in reply to Myrar]

Great stuff 😀 well done on the 5k & pb!

[Myrar Graduate in reply to Macmac]

Thank you 😊

[sallenson Graduate in reply to Myrar]

Hoorah!! Al set now

[Myrar Graduate in reply to sallenson]

Thank you ..At last (sighs) 😊😊

[Fabulous450 Graduate]

Now Myrar! If the App says 5k, it’s 5k for me. No questions. My App had me running on for a bit at Lydiard Park after running round the same circuit they say is 5k. So they can’t have it both ways!! Maybe I started the clock a bit late! 🤣🤣!

Take your two 5k’s and a new PB with pride!! You’re a star! 🤩 Well done!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️

[Myrar Graduate in reply to Fabulous450]

Thanks my friend ..I will do as instructed ...I'm over the moon no matter what ..I'm out running that's all that matters right ? ...Take care fab 😊😊

[Fabulous450 Graduate in reply to Myrar]

😉 You too Myrar! 😁🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️❤️
