I’m visiting San Diego in a few days. Wanted to get my long run in. Is this a safe route to start around 5 am? TIA!

I've set up a goal to run a 5k in every county in Michigan. Not a race, just a run. Has anyone else ever tried to do this in MI or any other state? I'm 65 counties down. 18 more to complete. I've allowed myself five years to accomplish it. Let me know if you've ever done other challenges. Or let me know if you'd run with me!

I have an Apple Watch 7 and have recently downloaded a half marathon trail route map onto the Gaia app. I have never used the app before. I’m planning to use the Gaia app on my watch to guide me around the trail. Will I be able to use the data from the Gaia app to sync my trail run to Strava? Or should I record my run using the Apple Watch activity app at the same time?

Is there an app that can calculate/estimate a specific distance (ie. 10km, 25km)

I want to go for a 25km run from my air bnb and back but don’t know how to calculate how far 25km actually is, and it would be nice to run a ‘circle’ if that makes sense.. not just run 12.5km turn around and run the same road back.

Is there an app or an easy way to figure out 25km from my location and back?

I'm going to Fuerteventura in about a months time and am looking to run whilst away. Anyone know any good routes (ideally ones roughly 14km or 8km), tracks, and places to run? Thanks

Data collection for my research study on Spartans ends this Saturday 3/4 at 11:59 pm PST! Thank you so much if you've already participated or spread the word, but if you are eligible and haven't gotten a chance then there is still time! Just be sure to include a screenshot from your race data in the Garmin connect app to be eligible (video instructions link in the survey itself) for a chance to enter the raffle for 1 of 8 free races!

My name is Gabe Hernandez and I’m a grad student at Cal State Long Beach in my last semester of my M.S. in Athletic Training degree. For my thesis/research project I’ve been conducting a study on Spartan racers who used a Garmin smartwatch in the last 5 years to record their race data. By entering so you can opt-in for a raffle for a free Spartan race in 2023! While this may not be directly applicable to your interests in this subreddit page, I hope that this is able to reach a wider audience so that I may use this data to publish an official article after I graduate and represent the obstacle course racing community in scientific literature.

Hey guys! I am doing some research for a design project. Could you all take this survey? It's pretty short and would help so much!
