And this week, it went over the top with Garmin integration. I am OCD about tracking my workouts, etc, and now I don't need to have multiple separate logs, or use the Garmin Training Center, which I really didn't like, or rely on another website to hold my data. I can upload my Garmin data straight to my RunningAHEAD log. And it spits out a Google Map and multiple graphs for each workout- pace, elevation, speed, HR, etc.
Love, love. And to top it all off, it's a FREE website.
Funny enough, I have been doing a lot of running along the West Side, as I am 1) too lazy/cold to walk the entire 1/2 mile to Central Park, and 2) bc it's pancake flat.
However, google maps is telling me it's not pancake flat (from today's run):
(these are the automatic graphs, that come with a simple 'embed' link..so so great!)
I was so confused, but when I realized where those 'hills' were in the actual run, it's a new section of Riverside Park South that has just opened in the last few months. I am pretty sure it is not yet updated in Google Maps yet, and is freaking Google out. Funny stuff.
wow. i need to take a lesson from you. i am the guesstimator extraordinaire.
ReplyDeletethis type of tracking will help you make a lot of progress.
btw, i am always impressed when i read about how you are running outside in NYC. you are tough.
and i STILL can't believe it rained everyday you were in cali. its ridiculous. today it was 78 and i got a sunburn. not fair.
