Notes
Kassie told me back after winter break that her watch accelerometer was broken and always said she was running 9:00 mile pace. Lately my watch has been saying that too, but I didn’t realize it. I look down and it says I’m running 9 min pace but it feels like I’m running faster than that. I speed up because maybe I just need a little boost. My watch still says I’m running 9 min pace. I then feel like I’m running really hard effort and it says I’m going like 8:45. Then I go through the first mile at 7:10????
This watch literally became uncalibrated and had my self esteem low. I was wondering what happened to me that I suddenly was struggling so much to keep the pace I’ve been running all summer. I’m pretty sure my gps just cuts out in Amherst because it’s really wooded. The accelerometer doesn’t work well because it calculates pace based off of arm movement without gps. When I walk it says I walk 6 min miles and says I run 10 min pace sometimes. Mystery solved friends!!
