I'm not saying that I signed up for a running event in two months with almost no prior experience in running, but I'm also not _not_ saying it
It's "only" 10K, thankfully
Progress update: managed to run for an hour straight yesterday and not die. Could've ran longer if not for my shin. I think 10K is actually not impossible!
@notthebee
I'm 51yo and I'm about to start running too.
Was wondering on what you used to keep track of your running metrics. Which app.
Good effort. Keep at it.
@john3voltas I'm using a Garmin watch as well as Garmin Connect app. Technically you can also pair Garmin watches with Gadgetbridge: https://gadgetbridge.org/basics/topics/garmin/
Garmin devices - Gadgetbridge

A free and open source Android application for bluetooth devices.

@notthebee
Hmm. Got it.
I got no smart watch or anything. Just the phone.
Gonna head out to F-Droid and see what they have in store.
Thanks and good running.
@john3voltas @notthebee f-droid has OpenTracks https://f-droid.org/packages/de.dennisguse.opentracks.playstore/ I use it for leisure bike trips, but can categorize all kinds of activities.
OpenTracks (Reproducible build) | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

A sport tracker buddy that respects your privacy.

Since I'm using OSMAnd (F-Droid) for bicycling navigation I can track the bike rides with it as well. I guess you could also use OSMAnd for running, I'm just not sure how detailed the tracked data is.

At the end of the year I'll take all the data and visualize it with Wanderer (https://github.com/open-wanderer/wanderer), I'm sure the OpenTracks data is also compatible with it!

@graves501 @mdione @notthebee
I see. I also use osmand occasionally for driving.
Will also give osmand a try.
Thanks
@graves501 @john3voltas @notthebee they all export GPX. the accuracy depends on the GPS data. They all record one point per second, I think.
