5k 😁 after feeling crock.

Good afternoon running buddies, I have just got back from a great run. I normally run on a Thursday evening at the athletic club, but yesterday everything ached, I had no energy and all day I only managed 549 steps, so it was early to bed and this morning I felt a lot better, a bit of back ache but that was all. Today I used NRC app and my Garmin watch, now here's the problem, which do I trust, the Nike app jumped in with my km markers before Garmin, in the end when Nike app finished I still had nearly half a kilometre left on the Garmin. The good news is that my pace has improved slightly, so feeling good.😁💪🙏connect.garmin.com/modern/a...

Trust your garmin! I love Nike Run Club but the tracking is dodgy. I’ve used it at parkrun and only run 4.5km apparently! It relies on your phone’s GPS so it’s not as accurate as something like a Garmin.

Great run, especially after feeling under the weather. It’s so nice seeing numbers changing in the right direction. Well done!

That's what I thought, trust Garmin, always carry on until Garmin says. Sounds like a childhood game, "Garmin says".

I find that with Nike Run Club ….. my Apple Watch ⌚️ is far more accurate…good work on your run 👍

🍏You are a wise man listening to your body & taking the extra rest day! It certainly paid off with an increase in pace. Well done! To be honest I don’t know anything about Garmin as I have an Apple Watch but I have always had close results with the NRC App. Enjoy your weekend now! You have earned it!
