Adding Kit - Can You Include Miles Already Done ?

K5 Gus Apr 2013 3:42pm, 13 Apr 2013 76 posts	Quote Pin K5 Gus I started using mapmyrun for logging training before I found Fetch, and have the history of all my shoes, and how many miles I've done in each pair. I'd now rather use Fetch, it's much better, love all the graphs and stuff In Fetch I can add all my shoes to the Kit list, but I can't see a way of adding a "base" mileage, ie the miles they have already done. Is this possible ? I'd like to not have to keep logging runs in both mapmyrun and Fetch, but want to be able to see shoe mileages at any time without having to go into both sites and adding the 2 numbers together. Thanks

You could put the base mileage in the kit description somewhere, maybe? Save you checking both sites every time.

Then you would have the correct distances on recorde at least (for training and kit) if not the detail. I'd quite like to see the kit stuff back, actually. Not sure why it went.

Fizz, your idea of putting the current mileage in the description would sort of work though, I think my brain will manage to add 2 numbers together easily enough. Will give that a go. Thanks
K5 Gus Apr 2013 3:54pm, 13 Apr 2013 78 posts	Quote Pin K5 Gus Dvorak, I've already gone back and added very basic details of all my runs, ie just distance, no times, so I can see the monthly/yearly totals in the training log. Don't really want to go back and do 18 months of editing daily runs to add shoes in, and wouldn't want to add one-off "runs" as that would then double my miles !!!
