This includes my warm up and cool down but I have no idea what the numbers mean? Would anyone please help & shed some light on if this is good for a beginner or not!! ๐

The duration is the time you took to run which was 42 minutes 16.7 seconds, the 2.38 ml is the distance you ran in miles, the 17.45 is the time you took to run a mile, 21 calories you ".burned" in that run, not much considering how many calories there is in a Big Mac,
Not sure about that 5h, 3.4 mph is the speed you ran at, but your quickest speed was 7.miles per hour hour, you ran 4,894
steps, the final number is what they call cadence, that is the number of steps a minute you took which says 116 rps, reps a minute. I think I have explained that correctly, if not, hopefully someone will correct me. ๐
Thank you, i really appreciate the break down. ๐ I donโt have a clue about all that stuff itโs all over my head!! ๐
I started the sports tracker a bit before I started the C25K app off! & it was still going a good few mins after I had finished! I always set it off before the app just so itโs on & running before I get started otherwise itโs too much faffing about with the tracker, the app & the music ๐๐๐

The 5h is how long it thinks until you are fully recovered from the workout. This refers to your glycogen stores and energy levels and not the muscle repair and rebuild which will be a lot longer and in the first year or so of running it is safest to always take a non-running day between your runs.
The calorie burn is wrong for sure... walking a mile burns 100 calories for the average person, running will burn more.

I agree with everything AlMorr has said but I think the calories is wrong I'm sure it should be a bit more ๐

Excellent question for Annie Apple ๐ too!! I am clueless. Helpful answers!! ๐
