Bog Run

Morning run, and a good reminder that apps tell the story in different ways. 📍 AllTrails (elapsed time): 5.01 km · 49:25 · 9:52/km · 429 cal 📍 Strava (moving time): 4.97 km · 39:05 · 7:52/km · cadence 66 The distance is almost identical, but the real difference comes down to how each app treats time. AllTrails recorded elapsed time — every second I was out there on the trail — which gives the slower pace. Strava filtered out the pauses and only measured moving time, making the same run look a full two minutes per km faster. For me, both sets of stats are valuable: AllTrails shows the full effort from start to finish (great for hiking pace and calorie burn), while Strava is better for tracking pure running rhythm and cadence. Either way, it was a solid 5 km around the bog this morning.
