Hi everyone,

When you post the distances you have run, are you including your warm up and cool down walks, or just the actual running?

I have always wondered this.

Happy running everyone. Pity the weather is getting dark and miserable, but hey! It’s a great motivator to still get outside.

Hi, run distances would normally exclude warm up and warm down walks 👍

Because I'm only on week 6 and there's still intervals of walking/running I've been including the warm up and cool down walks in my recordings - but will just record the actual run sections once they become all running (from week 7). Think it's up to you really! :)

Not what you're looking for?
