W8R1 - Amazing!!

[Khobarrunner]

Just completed the first run of week 8. 28 mins non stop followed by a walk. Really starting to feel like I’m running, my pace is getting quicker and I feel good after the run. Still amazed at what following the plan can achieve.

Happy running 🏃‍♂️

Great stuff 😁which app is that?

[Khobarrunner Graduate in reply to Rigpig]

Hi Rigpig, it is the activity app from Apple Watch.

[Rigpig Graduate in reply to Khobarrunner]

I actually have an Apple Watch but don’t use it as I prefer my Fitbit. Might give it another go! 😄

[Khobarrunner Graduate in reply to Rigpig]

I use Fitbit as well. Somethings I prefer about it.

[Rigpig Graduate in reply to Khobarrunner]

I've just bought a Versa 2 in the Black Friday sales, couldn't resist! I love the Fitbit app and this was the reason that I didn't persevere with the Apple watch, that and the fact that the sleep is not included without a third party app and the battery life was just an inconvenience.

Well done!

I’m amazed it says you’ve used 1,089 active calories - is that for the whole day or just that run? (For one 30 minute run my app usually tells me I’ve used about 250!) I don’t have an Apple Watch - I’m probably misunderstanding something here😊

[Khobarrunner Graduate in reply to alpacagirl]

Not sure how much I trust the calorie count. It covers my whole run & walk for the 1hr 25mins.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Khobarrunner]

I have never combined the two, running or walking, but according to Mapmyrun/walk, I 'burned' 666 calories on a 12K walk recently, 759 calories on a separate 10K run about a week later and on a recent 5K I burned 370 calories.

[alpacagirl Graduate in reply to Khobarrunner]

That accounts for it with the activity covering 1 1/2 hours!
