StuH Nov 2020 9:16am, 17 Nov 2020 4,014 posts	0 StuH 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!
Bright Strider Nov 2020 9:18am, 17 Nov 2020 173 posts	0 Bright Strider 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.
CumbriAndy Nov 2020 9:19am, 17 Nov 2020 2,128 posts	0 CumbriAndy 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.
Oscar the Grouch Nov 2020 9:39am, 17 Nov 2020 2,052 posts	0 Oscar the Grouch 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
StuH Nov 2020 9:44am, 17 Nov 2020 4,016 posts	0 StuH 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.
♪♫ Synge ♪♫ Nov 2020 10:26am, 17 Nov 2020 37,387 posts	0 ♪♫ Synge ♪♫ 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.
Flatlander Nov 2020 10:49am, 17 Nov 2020 1,821 posts	0 Flatlander 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 the Grouch Nov 2020 11:49am, 17 Nov 2020 2,054 posts	0 Oscar the Grouch 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!
Wombling Plodder (Welsh Womble) Nov 2020 12:32pm, 17 Nov 2020 3,461 posts	0 Wombling Plodder (Welsh Womble) 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.
