However I did write it all down from 5/10/95 until I joined Fetch. My Fetch records show that I first used a GPS watch on 23/10/2011. Until then, it was all manual stop-watching and map measuring .
Wriggling Snake Jun 2020 6:13pm, 3 Jun 2020 27,013 posts	0 Wriggling Snake My original 2 years of running was on kept in a flat file on my old work PC that I had to give back 5 years ago and forgot to get a copy. It would be good to see it...my first run was 1.5 miles...I legged it for about 1/4 of a mile and died on my arse. I had no idea....I use to time it by the clock on my front room mantel piece

Sigh Jun 2020 7:16pm, 3 Jun 2020 6,512 posts	0 Sigh I'm pretty confident that if I hadtracked the distance of all my running from 1984 until 2013, it would be a lot less than the 5,000 miles I've run since. In fact I doubt it would break 1,000 miles.
ChrisHB Jun 2020 7:43pm, 3 Jun 2020 19,351 posts	0 ChrisHB When I started running for the second time, aged 48, I had just read that shoes should be replaced after 500 miles, so all of my running since then was kept on a spreadsheet and then loaded into Fetch. Now heading for and could reach before I am too old, 20,000 miles. I also suspect that my running from age 13 to 45 would not add up to much.
Rosehip Jun 2020 7:47pm, 3 Jun 2020 16,394 posts	0 Rosehip My first run on here is C25K wk 3 run 1 - so I'd done a grand total of 6 C25K "runs" and two weeks before I found Fetch
Garfield Jun 2020 7:51pm, 3 Jun 2020 12,933 posts	0 Garfield My initial outdoor running was pretty random - starting off in April or May 1999, from once around Woking Park to 10 times around Woking Park by early July 1999. I believe it's 1km around that route and it gently undulates!
