PB! Oh, wait a minute...

5k in 28 minutes! Yay!

Then I look a bit more closely and the first km was 4 minutes - yeah, right. Runkeeper had glitched and recorded me starting some way from where I actually started running

Still, I am very pleased with the run, aided by my "pace dog" who, in return for biscuits, makes sure I don't run too fast

Good run, and then some... shame about the glitch, fast though! Enjoy the next one.

Well done. I’d recommend you switch to or give Strava a try. I’ve been trying quite a few running apps and syncing them with my Garmin to compare them. They have all given the same times and distances, give or take a second or two, but I’d say Strava was the best Runkeeper the worst. Last week every other app knew I ran a PB 5k but not Runkeeper for some strange reason it said 4.8km! It wasn’t a glitch either as it has consistently been different. If you’ve got an android device you can sync your history with an app called Sync My Tracks.

Thanks, I'll give Sync My Tracks a try, I've been wanting to try Strava but didn't want to lose the records I have in RunKeeper.

[gcoulter in reply to Now-runner_NeedsAttn]

I think the free version lets you sync your last 40 tracks

[Now-runner_NeedsAttn Graduate in reply to gcoulter]

Yes but RunKeeper doesn't export the names of the activities so Strava just shows "Morning Run" "Lunch Run" "Afternoon Run".

Tip: support.strava.com/hc/en-us... also works just as well with no 40 limit though it does need a degree of IT expertise...

[gcoulter in reply to Now-runner_NeedsAttn]

Yes I advised someone else to do this as the app they were using wasn’t listed in Sync My Tracks. As you said you need to be a bit more IT savvy.

I think I’ve done it the other way round from Strava to Runkeeper but can’t remember if it brought the name across.

Lol! I went out yesterday and ran deliberately very slowly because I was tired. MapMyRun told me a pack of lies!! 😄 After several months of using it, I know it hiccups from time to time and I also know the distances on my familiar routes so I can spot when it isn’t behaving itself and ignore. 😃

I found out that I can export the run as GPX, edit (delete in this case) the bad waypoint(s), delete the run from Runkeeper/Strava and then upload the fixed version So... 4.91 km, duration 28:05, average pace 5:43 - and I followed that up today with 5.01km 28:24 5:40/km BOOM

[gcoulter in reply to Now-runner_NeedsAttn]

Wow you’re way ahead of me now, must give this a go.
