So mad at myself 😡 - forgot to put Strava on

[JulesL69]

After promising myself not to leave it too long before runs I was enthusiastic to get out today

I was determined to try and reach 5k, or run as far as I could comfortably manage.

So I set of around the park full of energy, started slow so I wouldn’t use too much energy up. Usual niggles for 10 mins or so then I settled into my pace. Got to the park gates about 35 mins in and went to look at Strava to see how far I had run, to my horror I didn’t record the run 😢😢😢. So I though sod it and walked back to my car.

I won’t forget this run in a hurry ! Well at least I did 35 mins which is 5 mins more than normal 😃

You could always put what you ran on here and that would tell you the distance. Then you could manually add it to Strava.

Thanks Tasha, will take a look. Issue is I went back in my tracks a couple of times so need to remember!

😣 what a pest ! Your run sounded very good, steady and strong despite that glitch though.

Next one will be yours 👌😂🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

I know, I was so up for it. Never mind lesson learnt ! Thanks, let’s hope so ☺️

We all get tech problems from time to time.

[JulesL69 Graduate in reply to nowster]

I’m sure I won’t do it again, so annoyed

[nowster Graduate in reply to JulesL69]

I'm belt and braces. I set both my phone and my watch to record a run.

[JulesL69 Graduate in reply to nowster]

Time to get a Garmin I think.

35 mins is awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Thanks Mezzie... just so annoyed with myself. My husband came out too but walked as he has a bad knee, plus he forgot to put on his Garmin 🤦🏻‍♀️ so no help either lol.

I didnt set my Apple Watch on one run to workout and I sulked for ages as it didn’t count 😂😂😂

[JulesL69 Graduate in reply to mezziejay]

Ha ha I can relate to that. 😂

This experience is, unfortunately, one common to many of us! Only last Saturday I was on track for a 5km PB myself (judging by where I was in my playlist😁) only to finish, look at my not-so-smartwatch and realise that it had cancelled recording at some point after the 4km mark. In my case I just took this on the chin with a promise of a 2nd crack at it this morning.

The bigger thing is that we both got out for a good run 👍😉.

[JulesL69 Graduate in reply to Pugwash]

How disappointing, tech is great when a) it doesn't have a blip and b) as in my case didn't start record !

Good luck with today's run 😃
