  • why would you say your strava efforts pre-watch are so far out? Were you recording them on a phone, and is a watch gps considerably more accurate??

    @Josh - nice modest response from lowbrows i thought. 36 is super human in my book!

  • I was recording on a phone, and you could see that the route it tracked was all over the place. This substantially increased the 'distance' i'd ran, which made my pace much faster. You'll notice runs with a watch have a much smoother line as the GPS signal is more accurate.

    I once ran 10k with a friend after I got a watch. She recorded on a phone, which recorded 11.1k. Her 'pace' was about 30 sec/km faster.

  • That’s what pushed me to get a watch a few years ago. Was very depressing seeing an amazing pace then discovering it was a glitch!
