I'm glad you're enjoying Gremlin, Marcus! I love my Garmin. It showed me that I ran one of the miles in the Austin 5k in 8:40. For me, that's reason enough to play Handel's "Hallelujah" chorus. Unbelievable. Of course, it was downhill, but I'm still counting it! I also like seeing my routes in Austin and San Antonio - DH pointed out that it's a neat way to keep record of places I travel to. Running on vacation will be mandatory from now on.

You guys should take a look at SportTracks, if you haven't already. IMO it is superior in almost every facet to MB (MB probably has ST beat on the whole online viewing thing, although I think an ST plugin might be available for this). Oh yeah - and it's freeware, although you will likely find yourself making a donation since it is so well put together. Some screenshots are online at

Quote from jEfFgObLuE on 4/17/2008 at 6:52 PM:No, I knew exactly what you were saying. MB does not allow you to change the scale.  But if you can avoid those spots where the pace is really high (i.e. at a dead stop or nearly so), the graph will be condensed to fit the data. (Though not nearly as tightly as we would like). That's why I use a running start to avoid that "pace spike" at the beginning of the run.
Gotcha. What you wrote makes sense now.
Here is this morning's chart without such a huge spike as a comparison.

I have that downloaded but have not really messed with it yet. Is it capable of the same type of charts that I have posted? |

I haven't tried it because a) I have a mac at home and b) my work PC doesn't support some aspect of the Windows .NET architecture (whatever the f**k that as). But it seems that most users swear by it as compared to MB or Garmin Training Center. |

You should be able to download it from Microsoft. It's free. |

Yeah, I tried, but there's some IT lockdown action going on.

Ahhh... Figured it might be that.
Although it's odd that something like that isn't already installed. |

I loaded last night's run into Sport tracks and the appearance is nicer than the software that came with my Gremlin, but I have yet to play around with the software.
I was having too much fun with MB. |

That's nice. Definitely more along the lines of what I am after. Thanks! Now I know that program can do it. I wonder if you can export the charts??? |
