It is a site which draws on your strava data, either for runs or for runs and walks, as you select, from a start date specified by you, to calculate the number of miles you have covered since you started this race. It then overlays that onto a route map running along navigable roads (as an approximation to the exact route of the GVRAT) to,show your location in the race. Or at least that what it seems to be to me!

A quick PS on geofit - as far as I know, it's an unofficial thing. It has been interesting to look at while the official tracker was hard to access, but I don't expect to be using it again.

Here's my "official" marker 24 miles in:



And here's Geofit's calculation:



So it is certainly good enough for now. How the overall distances compare, I don't know.

I think Geofit is a slightly more direct route based on the driving directions.

Synge- you are on the bridge at the start of the “walking in Memphis” video

This is where I am at the moment. Oh dear, an awful long way to go.

My wife & I walked up to the Angmering Estate woods yesterday. We saw a couple of deer as we wandered round. By the time we walked back home, we had clocked up 11 miles.
