Just wondered if anyone else is having the same problems of the app not storing previous workout data it keeps on resetting or going back to old workouts out those that are scheduled for the future.

Thanks,

Mark

This morning I logged in to update my daily log from yesterday and I only have the option of adding a daily log for today. How can I create a daily log for a date in the past?

I cannot map anything. AT ALL!

alijay — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 02:27:01 -0600

Hi,

When I log in to MMR the map does not progress past the world map to a more local map showing the street I live on like it used to.

If I am lucky I get a Google search box that allows me to type my address in and zoom to my street, but I only get this box 1 out of 5 times I open the site.

If I do try to start mapping the programme tells me that the point I am trying to enter is too far away from my starting point and to clear all and start again. This does not work.

If my coach sends me a map the only way I can view it is to print it. The map on the screen will not progress past the world map.

I have not been able to map a run for nearly 6 weeks and am becoming very frustrated. Can someone help??

Plantar Fasciitis

doggerboy — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 10:02:53 -0600

If you are like me and have suffered with plantar fasciitis (PF) and found that it never heals no matter how long you stay off of it, then I have something for you to try. I have suffered for years and tried strasberg socks and others treatments, including Scholls inserts, but I couldn't get past it. I met a physical therapist that told me to visit an Orthotist and get custom inserts made. I visited one and he told me to try Birkenstock inserts for around $65 before paying a $400 fee for custom made ones. I tried them and from that moment, I have not had any more PF pain. I wear them in my work shoes and in my running shoes. For my work shoes I use the Birkenstock blues which are half inserts that are all cork. I use Birkenstock sports in my running shoes. They are two piece with a half length cork insert under a full length insole. Now I just have to redevelop my running ability after almost a 10 year struggle. Hope this helps other sufferers.

Any late evening runners in Fircrest WA.

back to square 1

purpleskyz — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:33:24 -0600

I was on the running team at school like 6 years ago but due to issues and moving; I gave up running. I wanna start again......but I cant run for 2 minutes straight without feeling like i am dying so what would be my best bet; to do intervals like 1 1/2 min running and 45 sec. walking or what?

Activity Detail lookup not working

Eaglerock — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 01:18:05 -0500

The Activity Detail function isn't working. When I enter the activity type, and click in the activity detail field, nothing happens. When I attempt to create a new activity detail as a substitute, the script never completes loading. You can't enter a workout without supplying the activity detail, so we're pretty much dead in the water until this gets fixed.

Questions about "My Runs"

geoenginer — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 11:11:17 -0600

I'm looking for answers to the following questions about the "My Runs" feature of this site. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

# 1 - If I edit the name of a run, does that ruin any historical data based on the run? Forr example, if I change "daily run" to "home run", do I lose all the data that was saved from all my "daily runs"?

# 2 - What if I delete a run entirely? When I go back to look at my stats (miles per month, average distance, etc.) will I have lost all the data related to that run?

I'm trying to clean up my runs by re-naming the ones I use regularly and deleting those routes that I've only used once or twice. However, I'd rather not lose all of my data, since I've got well over a year's worth saved.

I appreciate any thoughts, help, advice, etc.

Thanks!

Stability Trail Shoes

mojo43 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:56:19 -0600

Any good ideas on trail running shoes that provide stability? I am a 6'1", 215 lb male who is prone to plantar fascitiis. Looking to increase my mileage on trails as well and getting after tought terrain. Conventional street shoes were ok for where I used to run, but am now in need for a more aggressive sole.

Any suggestions?

Highway C Resurfacing

wer4mu — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:24:07 -0600

Wow, is that sweet! A perfect ribbon of black asphalt between V and Egre. Widened as well. Not sire if they will mark off a bike lane but that would be icing on the sundae.

iPhone App: Love it, wish there were a "back" button for browsing training

mrowan00 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:11:05 -0600

I wanted to write to tell you how much I absolutely LOVE the iMapMyRun iPhone application! I downloaded it last week and have used it for every run since. I have been fortunate to not experience the application crashing or freezing during any of my runs, as I read about in some reviews. It's been a dream. Only once did it take a while to upload a workout, but eventually it worked. I absolutely love the voice feedback during the run. What a fantastic feature! Thank you for creating such a wonderful and useful application. I look forward to my training runs and to finding new routes. The idea that I don't have to go back to the computer after I run to figure out how far I went is so great! Thank you!

My only recommended improvement is around the "browsing my runs". Once I click on a run and am in the map mode to see the route, I wish there were a "back" button that allowed me to return to the list of runs. Currently, the only way I can see to do that is to click on "Training" back at the bottom of the screen, then go to the runs, then - if I sorted by a different factor - I have to re-sort. That's a bit annoying. If there were a back button, I feel that would solve the issue and make it less of a hassle to quickly browse through all my runs.

Otherwise, fantastic product! Keep it up! Thanks!

Neat marathon article

MapMyRide wn't find Garmin Plugin.

patnbob — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 00:03:52 -0500

When uploading from my Garmin Edge 305 to the new mapping program, MapMyRide hangs waiting to find the plugin. I have reloaded the plugin and there's no improvement. Still hangs

After First 10 Mile Run - Horrible Recovery

whipdog01 — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:15:37 -0500

I have been 1/2 marathon training for 4 months now, and finally worked up to a 10 mile run last saturday. Doing miles between 8:15 and 9:00, taking a daily vitamin, eating according schedule, getting enough sleep, running gradually on a schedule, not increasing over the 10% limit per week, cross trainging very lightly, and always having good recoveries. I ran the 10 mile on Saturday, then today, 2 days later, I attempted my usual Tuesday 10K. I could barely get to 2 miles, and had to stop at 3.4 completely exhausted, 10:22 mile time. Out of breath, mentally fatigued, legs like quicksand, stomach acid, and sweating badly. This has never happened before- it's like I'm back at day 1. Does anyone have any clue what I did wrong? The 1/2 marathon is less than one month away and I'm freaking out that I have to start all over again. The cold/bad weather isn't helping my progress either. Any help??

Base map was changed

kshall20 — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 11:00:28 -0500

Is there a way to "roll back" the maps on the site? I went to map a route and a road that I ran on and was on the map last week, isn't there anymore. It appears that the map being used now is an older version (2+ years old) and the up to date one was on there a few weeks ago.

Any advice?

Shoes..

somaholiday — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:01:04 -0600

Just got the new Nike LunarGlide... solid shoes.. feel good, and when I step it up and pick up the pace I can really feel the pop these shoes have.. nice bounce to'em.

How do I save my pace to MapMyRun?

Juhisaha — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:43:05 -0600

Hi,

When I track my run using iMapmyrun on my iphone, my pace isn't uploaded along with my distance and route information. Is there a way to upload my pace information from my iphone?

thanks!

Can I import multiple runs/workouts?

stulincoln — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 17:37:42 -0500

Just new on here. I have been desperately on the lookout for a site that accepted both Garmin and Nike+ device as my friends have both and we want to do challenges. The site looks great so far (though possibly could be simpler in places).

Anyway, my main question is, I have a lot of runs in my Garmin Training Center and on my watch, is there a way to just import them all or do I have to them one by one?

Thanks

Stu

redundancy

tulrich — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 09:23:29 -0600

When logging my run, I find "Describe this workout", "What general type of workout is this" and "Activity Detail" so redundant, yet it won't let me proceed without filling out all 3 fields. Any way to make these optional and just fill in "Run"???

Where do you run?

Mountain Biking vs. Road Biking

IEs_ACe — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 01:20:19 -0500

Which is better and why? Just trying to get you to say why you love one over the other. I need you to tell me because I cannot decide for myself. If this discussion takes off I think it will be a good reference for new riders to help them decide which discipline to start with. I look forward to seeing the responses.

Polar RS100

paolo27th — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 04:37:14 -0600

Anyone tried this HR monitor?

I have a simple question regarding laps. Can the laps be programmed to start automatically or can tey only be started manually?

Foot pod vs. GPS

agoundas — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:22:04 -0600

I am looking into running watches. What I want is something to track distance and pace? Not worried about heart rate and all the other jazz.

on the cheap side I am considering the Garmin Forerunner 50 with foot pod.

next on the list is the Garmin Forerunner 405 or the Polar RS300x with foot pod.

One friend tells me she likes the foot pod and feels it is more accurate than GPS, because you don't have to worry about interference. However - another friend says GPS is accurate and that foot pod do not adjust to your stride.

What do you think?

Tired all the time!

rupperoadrunner — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 13:14:07 -0500

Everyone tells me that when they started exercising they had so much more energy. I feel more tired than ever! What's going on?

General Nutrition tips

ukmgranger — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 03:09:39 -0600

Hi all, I stumbled over this fitness website the other day. It seems to have some really good tips for general fitness and nutrition. www.resultsconditioning.com Take a look at this post which talks all about nutrition: http://www.resultsconditioning.com/archives/530 Cheers

Can I eat all the calories I burn in one day?

PDXRoadie — Fri, 15 May 2009 23:36:35 -0500

I'm on a very modest weight loss program. Want to go from 160 to 155. According to a nutrition source I've been using, I should limit calories intake to @ 1,700 - 1,900 per day. What happens on days when I might burn 1,500 - 1,700 calories on a ride. Does that mean I have a calorie intake budget of 3,200 - 3,400 for that one day? Or should I stay within the modest weight loss limit even on days when I ride long and hard?

Edge 705 Cue Sheet

tbertorini — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:34:04 -0600

I have rides I have ridden and uploaded them from my Garmin 705 to mapmyride.com, but no cue sheet information is transferred.

How can I get this done? I need the cue sheets for people that ride with me.

Anyone know how to do this?
