Strava says I’m the local legend on postbox to lamppost ???🤣😂

I managed a 5k run this morning which was more comfortable as the temperature has dropped and there was a nice breeze. I was listening to BBC Sounds (Fearne Cotton - sounds of the 90’s) and quite enjoyed my run until about 4.5k and I struggled with the end.

According to Strava I am the local legend on postbox to lamppost (what on earth? 🤣😂).

Looking forward to park run no 3 this Saturday 👍🏻

It simply means you've done that segment the most often out of all Strava users in the last 90 days.

I have some where I've got 35 repeats of the same segment, putting me way ahead of anyone else, just because I have to go that way to get home.

One of my local segments is called "mind the poo".

No way, that’s hilarious! And is it full of poo? Who names these segments? 😂

Nope! It's part of the clay path I mention in my 10km run write-ups.

Have you ever been ‘the mind the poo legend?’ 💩

I forget. Probably yes.

Hilarious it's fun when you come across new mad names, I've attached a screenshot of one of mine which also has ' the sea wall with wonky bit' as part of the run!

This is making me want to try again with Strava now! 😂 I registered but didn't find it very intuitive.

😂🤣 running different locations is so much more entertaining now - I like Strava - free version - just to see time, distance and pace …….. and now - segments’ names 😝

Respect to you - both for 5k and being a ‘local legend’ ——— I wonder if they’ll paint the post box gold in your honour ?? 🤣🤣

Thank you 😉 maybe I’ll throw some streamers round the lamppost - if they get caught painting the post box gold they’ll go to jail 🤣😂 (why isn’t there a postbox emoji?)
