Tracking my miles!

[PolkaDot88]

Morning all!

Q. Can I have the sports tracker app running in the background whilst I’ve got my C25K app live!! I want to track the miles & my routes!! How do you all track your runs? 🙂

Yes, I use Strava for tracking my runs and I find it does exactly what I want it to do and I like the fact I can plot new routes before I run them

Oh brilliant I use it all the time for walks! But wasn’t sure if it would run along side the C25K or if it would knock it off! 🤷🏽‍♀️😂

Thanks I appreciate the info 😁

I used strava and it ran along side c25k and my music with no problems 😊

MapMyRun also works fine, and also send steps and calorie counts to MyFitnessPal, if you use that.

Hi!

Thanks 😁

Yes, you can! I use Strava through my watch but have previously used both the Samsung Health app and Strava on phone with no issues 👍🏻

Not everything that can be done should be done.

I think you have to know yourself as there's such a lot of time has to be spent on the forum when 'more information' (ie distance and pace tracking) doesn't work out positively and conflicts with a focus on the C25K programme objectives.

(A different matter if you are re-running the programme returning from injury, or just generally post graduation)
