Two questions

[Juliapal]

How do you actually measure your running distance?

When you finish running after 20+ minutes do your knees feel really funny (temporarily)?

[Hidden]

Not sure how to answer the knees question, but although they say the app isn’t necessarily about distance ran but more about how long you’ve run for, I downloaded the free version of Strava.

At first I recorded my runs including warm up and cool down walks, then after graduation week I started recording the distance after I’d completed my warm up and stopped recording once I’d finished my thirty minutes.

Thank you.

When I slow down after 20/25mins I feel like my knees are going to break

It's a temporary feeling but I wondered if it's because of my spondylitis

Put the Nike run club app on and run it in the background it will give you a rundown of speed and distance and records it for you

I have a Fitbit so use that to measure distance

[Juliapal Graduate in reply to Juleskam]

Interesting...is that just for step counting though?

[Ang33333 Graduate in reply to Juliapal]

Mine tracks distance and pace. Also produced a map of where I've been!

[Juleskam in reply to Juliapal]

If you are asking about the Fitbit no it gives a map how much of the run was fat burn etc and heart rate etc

I have downloaded the free version of Mapmyrun onto my phone. I also have also discovered there is a MapMyRide for when I am cycling. 😀

Yes, Juliapal, jelly legs I call it! 😂😂 it soon walks off during the warm down but it's just when you get your legs into the run groove but it's still a new thing for your legs. It lessens with time and better fitness.

I used to record my sessions on my phone then strava but now I have a running watch. I start it at the beginning of the session so it includes my warm up/downs but I know how far they take me so I just subtract that from my total distance. (I'm not too fussed how much was run v walk I just like a total) 👍😁

Thank you so much for all your replies

I use map my fitness app.

Samsung phones have in-built Samsung health app for running. I use that. Apart from this runtastic is another good app for free to calculate distance and calories burnt.
