Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Thanks Flatlander! There was me trying to figure out small loops and diversions I could introduce to the beginning of my route, never occurred to me to simply hit start later! :)

WP, you could not stop your Garmin, but treat your activity as one activity. You could call it cross training, or running with intervals (interval training). An unusual interval, admittedly.

Don't think there's a way to automatically link/merge two or more Garmin files into one (happy to be shown to be wrong though) but what you 'could' do would be to create a composite training log entry yourself.

Manually plot the complete route covered, add up the times for the different activities then upload that as a single entry. Delete it once the bugs have gone to keep your training log 'accurate'. Bit (possibly quite a lot) of a faff obviously but should work.

Just in case - don't forget you can squish bugs by walking over them on your way back from outside your circle too.

Most of my bugs are in the middle of farmer's fields that there is a small possibility of getting to sometimes, so not completely out of the question and I leave those. The ones that are in someone's garden including their circle, I do rather draw a line at though :-)

I think fitfilerepairtool will do what you're asking WP, but it is a paid for app. fitfilerepairtool.info
and I'm not sure how Fetch handles multi-activity files.

WP - could you record the whole activity as one activity, then upload it and update your FetchPoint data? Then, when the bugs are squished, split the file into two using Fetch's splitter tool and recatalogue the second one as a walk.

That's a good suggestion by ♪♫ Synge ♪♫.
When you change from running to walking, press the lap button and then you'll know where to make the split.

Oscar, it sounds like your field bugs are well nigh inaccessible, on the day.

Day to day they are but in the summer I can get there with a little honest trespass (there is *supposed* to be a footpath there but it is completely unused/unfindable - that's a word, right?). At the moment it is blocked with an electric fence!

Thanks for the comments and suggestions :-)

I shall try what Synge has suggested - I have not trimmed or split a run to date so what could go wrong ;-) . Flatlander, will try and remember to hit the lap button.

Hopefully it won't be too long before I can make it out of my circle in one go. I just wished my bugs allowed me to go in a straight line and not in the opposite direction to exit the circle. Dark nights and solo running means there are some more direct routes I can't travel along due to safety.
