Strava is as accurate as the device used to capture the run. If you’re using a phone and it’s in a pocket they have a tendency to have intermittent gps and give some weird distances some times.First strava run as the caption says.
How accurate is strava, GPS etc? I'm quite surprised and this run as my old ipod shuffle had a run function but it was 1.6 out by this reckoning. So if GPS is the more accurate I've been doing about 1.6k further for the past 8 weeks without knowing it. I look slimmer already!
Just me and you at the moment. All welcome, no one will judge slow or fast.I'm in.

You can change it to run.I’m in- I noticed that the last couple of runs I went on I had the Garmin set to “walk” which makes it look like I’m the fastest walker in the country. I’m only new and crocked & highly unlikely to be setting any records, but this is a great idea.

Yours looks pretty accurate on that picture though.
Yup phone gps seems to be pretty poor. Weird as a couple of years ago I always used my phone and it was fine.I ran 0.14 miles in 7 minutes the other day according to my phone GPS. Strange as every other day I’ve run it it’s clocked at just under a mile (0.94 to be precise).
I know this might be better on the Tech section but I want to buy some AirPods (or something similar) to wear when running. Has anyone got any thoughts an which are best or which ones they use and can recommend?
Thanks
I ran a half marathon once. Sounds better than saying "I gave up half way during the London Marathon"!I did a half marathon today with a hydration pack. I stuck my phone in one of the straps and had it on loudspeaker. Worked really well for me. I don’t like things on my head or in my ears while running.
I’m normally around 20/30miles, this week has been exceptional.That's a great weekly mileage and if you can keep anything even approaching that on a regular basis the improvements will be huge.
We are always told that consistency is the key...
What’s that??I’m normally around 20/30miles, this week has been exceptional.
Had a remote gait analysis from my physio which has made a huge difference to my ability to run without injury.
He’s analysed my running style, told me what pronation I am for buying trainers. But the main thing he’s done is pointed out weak parts of my body and helped me to correct my running style.What’s that??

I’ve had severe sciatica recently and he’s made changes that have allowed me to cover 50miles in one week pain free. It’s amazing the instant impact it’s had.
Ran the same route today to check comparisons. Couple 100 meters out but spotted a weird anomaly on the first run, GPS must have messed up but still over 6k so I'm happy.
Strava doesn't seem to have audio checkpoints though is that right?
Also lost 14lbs since January. And I still treat myself to takeout twice a week I just run a lot
Thanks!That's impressive

Yeah that's what I mean. So when you hit 1k it tells you you are there and what time.not too sure what your mean by audio checkpoints but Strava Does have an audio setting which tells you your mile or half mile split time and your total running time
Yeah that's what I mean. So when you hit 1k it tells you you are there and what time.
Think it only does it if you have mobile data data on though?
