how to measure distance

[jogawayfromSAD]

So I've got to week 9 and have two runs left and am finally about to install strava I think. But how does it tell me the distance I've run rather than adding the brisk walk either end? Will I have to press something on the phone when I start to run? Usually I don't touch the phone as it takes all my concentration to jog!

Simple - ignore the warm-up and cool down walks. Press GO at the start of your run and STOP at the end.

Thanks! I've just started wearing the phone in an arm strap - 100% better than carrying it which was finally making my fingers feel weird - so I'll see if I can just do this on the trot
