Thanks bear Smile the lockdown has had the one advantage that I’ve been forced to do strength training aka Joe Wickes with the kids 🤣but it’s working...

Lovely sunny 5k by the river. Could have done with it being a bit cooler.

7.4 today

681.4

5.5km

469/531

Both Strava and Fitbit failed me today which is annoying because I am supposed to be doing a virtual race tomorrow and I'll be very annoyed if I run 10km and they let me down.

ErrolTheDragon · 07/05/2020 15:12

We ventured a bit further today, 9.3 km

690.7

Inniu · 07/05/2020 22:19

Took DS for 2k

341/659

thenewaveragebear1983 · 08/05/2020 11:08

10km for my virtual race

479/521

With 3 trackers, Runkeeper and Fitbit on my phone and Strava on dh's. All 3 managed to record a different time and distance. Very frustrating. I actually think I did manage a sub-50 10km but runkeeper does it in miles and I can't do the maths.

Sub 50 is very impressive but very annoying not to have a record.

A sunny 5k for me this morning.

346/654

ErrolTheDragon · 08/05/2020 15:07

runkeeper does it in miles and I can't do the maths.
I'm sure if you gave us the numbers we'd figure it out between us.Smile

7.1 km today, 697.8

thenewaveragebear1983 · 08/05/2020 16:15

Thanks @ErrolTheDragon , I just changed the settings to km Blushand it did it for me!

ErrolTheDragon · 08/05/2020 17:54

I make it a smidge over 47!

Inniu · 09/05/2020 19:12

Took DS out earlier before it got too hot. He still finds 2k tough.

348/652

ErrolTheDragon · 09/05/2020 19:40

But he's still going ... that's 10K he's done now, isn't it?Smile

Yes, it is 10K. He has quite a few challenges and I never would have started running with him if we were not in lockdown but I am really glad I did.

TriSkiRun99 · 10/05/2020 11:08

Doing one 5k run and one 10k run a week at the moment, I’m not doing more running because of re-habbing my leg but I’m surprised that with only 2runs a week the 20min Hitt stuff has kept up my stamina & really helped my strength. Had a lovely 25k bike ride in the early sun this morning my longest for a good 6mths, need to build those back up to!

Running 209km
Walking 458m since mid-March
Cycling 301km
Swimming 8km pre-March.

TriSkiRun99 · 10/05/2020 11:09

Wow your 10km time has got really fast bear quite an achievement getting sub-50 well done. I can’t get sub 65mins at the moment 🤣
