Ever feel like you’re going fast but Strava says no?

Went out on week 8 run 2 this evening. I felt like I really pushed myself, even my son riding along with me said I seemed much faster than normal but Strava said I was slower than I have been for several runs.

Thought it might be a glitch but Map My Walk said the same!

Really strange, felt I made a concerted effort to no avail. I know C25K isn’t about speed, just thought I’d try and up my game this run 😄

It’s not uncommon. Before you look at the Strava stats all you have to go on is perceived effort, which could be higher today for many reasons. Strange that someone else saw it the same way though! One day last week I had the opposite... really easy slow feeling run... and in the middle of it was my fastest mile of the year!

You’ve still smashed this run & you will on 8/3, too! Keep going! 💪

Well done for keeping going. I had the same problem this morning. But we hung in there and only one run to go now. Woo hoo!

I’m a little behind you now due to mine and my son’s various injuries 😂 Sorry you weren’t feeling it this morning, good luck with your final run! 👍🏻

Oops, I don’t even know what week I’m on. Won’t be long till you’re finished too.

That's interesting. I felt I was running slightly faster than last time but not according to Strava.

Not just me then!
