I have been logging my activity on Fitbit & Runkeeper but starting them at the beginning of the C25K app! 😌 therefore my distance such as this morning 4.54k W9R2 included the warm up walk & warm down.
What does everyone else do?
I feel disappointed now knowing I’m not running as far as I first thought, although I’m happy running 30 mins mind regardless of the distance.
Any thoughts or advice?
Thank you
I do the same thing I include the walks. Think I’ll do that until I finish the programme. Then I might just time a run. My distance is only 3.5 k including the walks but hey it doesn’t matter. Both distance and time will come over he next moths I’m sure.
Phew, glad I’m not the only one!
I’m just happy to be out running to be honest - not sure I will ever get to that 5k in 30 but so what! I will keep trying though!
Well done on your distance that’s great x
No I’m sure there’s lots of us in the same category !! Like you just impressed to be doing it !
I tried tracking my distance today for the first time on w6/r2, I was curious how far I am actually going, also although I know speed doesn’t matter I was wondering if my eventual 5k will take many hours!! I did the same as you, I included the walking as in my view is it’s all exercise!! I think I’ll do as Dellgirl82 and when I can run the 30 minutes will track run only.
I’ve been doing it including the walks too. Just completed c25k and am totally still kinda in denial that 30 mins running is something I can even do.
Haven’t reached 5K running alone but with the progress I have seen in myself over the programme I feel sure I will over the next few weeks 😋
I’ve just completed last night and did 5.22K including the walks. So I’ll be trying to track just the run part on my next run to see how far I can run. I suspect it will be about 4.5K ish.
Yes! Same x
I count warm up and down too
There's no right or wrong. I track only the running parts as my aim is to jog 5k (unlikely within the programme but when consolidating!) so including the warm up and cool down wouldnt make sense. I think whatever you decide if you're looking at stats as long as you're comparing like for like then you do you. No matter what you're getting out there 
As a long term data nerd I track both...
I set my watch going when I start the warm up and end it at the end of the warm up.
I then use Strava on my phone to track the time and distance without the warm up.
I did W6R3 this morning, with warm ups I recorded 2.89 miles at 12'57" per mile. Without warm ups I covered 2.17 miles at 11'35" per mile.
Looking through previous runs, the distance covered in my warm up (more likely warm down) can vary quite a bit
Keep up the good work
There’s no cheating as this isn’t competitive... and even if you were in an event run, they allow walking. Your data and the stats within it are all yours... it’s a personal choice what you record. That said, comparison of how far you’ve come in a few more months is easier to make if you start your tracker as you start running. I’m not really bothered how far I can run in 30 minutes or what my 5k PB is... but I did get a real sense of achievement when I started looking back and could see how my conversational pace had been getting gradually faster over the months. I’ll never be super quick, but I will be significantly quicker than I was at graduation.
Where's my pain!... I ran double the distance so I demand to have double the pain!!
I'm back, but have I been doing it wrong all this time?
Consolidation Run 2 - Another 4K !
Do you include your 5min walks in your distance log?
