Just done a 20 minute and for the second time in succession it’s failed. Does this happen to anyone else? Really annoying

That's annoying... Were you using the phone app or was it a smartwatch? I'll be honest I've never had a failure, maybe I'm just lucky. If it was via a smartwatch it's probably still in the activity history and it might be possibly be to upload it again.

It’s worth investing in a GPS watch. You don’t have to spend a fortune. You can get a Garmin Forerunner 15 on eBay for £20 second hand. I had one for 2 years. Worked perfectly and was very accurate. It linked to Strava via Garmin Connect.

I have a Garmin Forerunner 35 now which is about £100 new or £70 second hand on eBay. Links straight to your phone, smaller with more features. Unless your a triathlete you don’t need anything more.

When I first started I used Strava on my phone. But having a GPS watch is so much easier. You can leave the phone behind and upload to Strava later.
