Weymouth parkrun has canceled its Aug. 22 and Aug. 29 events after reports of participants making contact while passing each other on the course. Some were tripped, the organizing team said. Capping the field is not an option available to it, because parkrun’s guidance for volunteers states that its events are unable to limit participation numbers.

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for a head-mounted (ideally 360) camera that can do sound as well for runs <1 hour. In addition to being able to record a great run, I'd especially like to have this to capture the dangerous conditions we (USA) runners are exposed to by unsafe drivers, I plan to submit a montage of footage to our local city in hopes of driving some action and accountability to improve pedestrian safety.

TIA

There’s no question that Google’s GPS accuracy improvements here are incredibly impressive. In my mind, this is a very similar generational leap in GPS accuracy to what we saw about 3-4 years ago when Garmin introduced multi-band GNSS on their Fenix 7 devices. It would be years before competitors got anywhere in the same ballpark as that (and even then, I’d argue only one or two other watches can get close to Garmin’s current multi-band GPS accuracy). Now, Google has very clearly taken the lead, at least when it comes to post-processed tracks.

The fastest course turns out to be the Newport Marathon in Newport, Wales, UK.

I have a BT connected HR monitor (decathlon HRM band) that I want to use for tracking my HR during treadmill running and crossfit. However, since I want it all offline without connecting to an account in the cloud somewhere, this seems to be near impossible. I can easily get HR readings from the device via BT, but I haven't found an app that allows me to do the above mentioned tracking where the HR data is logged with exercise duration.

I use the HRM band with opentracks for outside running, and it works great within opentracks (aside from horrible data visualization). But opentracks doesn't export any HR metrics unfortunately. And opentracks is really terrible for recording workouts that don't use GPS, e.g. it won't allow me to easily edit speed and distance for treadmill runs and has tons of useless fields for crossfit workouts.

Anyone know of an app that allows for offline generic HR logging with a BT HRM? Bonus if it can record for different activities, but I will settle for generic workout category.

There are some days where I've done so much running that it becomes painful to walk, which only worsens if I don't rest, and I've recently had some issues with knee pains. How can these be mitigated/treated/avoided?
