Good morning peeps 🌞
I'm back at it again on another warm and sticky summer morning. 🕔0557 🌡️24°c 82% humidity, Feels like 28°c
Not a bad run today, added a length of trail, first time in the five fingers, which was fun, I was actually laughing, because it was so enjoyable. Sadly they're making the trail paths less treacherous - I guess it's so more people can use them.
Completed the #Mapmyrun - You Vs The Year 1025km, done with 142 days to spare.

@fo @robchapman GPS data was reliable until 2 weeks ago. I am still hoping it's an app issue recently introduced with an update.
#MapMyRun can already allow you to draw maps and load them as #running routes. However the training program I am currently following doesn't set a distance goal for a session, only duration and eventually intervals pace.
So I think I will keep things as they are for the 3 weeks until my training program completes, then decide whether I'll preload routes in the app.
@nagoo3 great job going out in the cold 🥶👍, even if the stats are wrong 😂!
I had the same issue in the past and I tried using several different apps to fix it. Finally I ended up pre-planning my running route on #mapmyrun

And I selected that app for my smartphone.
Imho it's the most reliable app when it comes to distance estimates.
Downloaded #OSMand today, we'll see how that works locally.
Although government institutions here use Open Maps, so I think it'll be fine, already discovered much more detailed trail maps than Google (wish I'd known that before) and I can pre-map a route with it, like #MapmyRun and save the #GPX file to my phone, then export to my watch...so that's really handy, but best of all the Gulf of Mexico is, and always will be the Gulf of Mexico!
I went running with a friend today. She followed me on her bike. Unfortunately the app inadvertently paused the tracking at 7,30 km, so I ended up retracing my route in the route creator of #MapMyRun and then updating the stats. I love this feature so much!
Currently trying to solve the mystery of why #MapMyRun has now decided to not work as expected on the old Samsung android I use for my morning run.
I really don't want to switch to another app because it's always been reliable, but it's looking like I might have to.
What a crock ☹️
