If you run over them and go further outside your circle then they will move again. When first moving them if you take them at least 1 mile from your home point and out of the circle too then they get squished. You'd need to take the ones just outside your circle another mile before they die - I accumulate mine through the week and then splat them at weekends on a long run. My penalties went out at 12.01 so no I can decide where to run

Good idea about accumulating them until the long run. I'll try that. This is all new to me but i'm really enjoying it as it's finally coaxed me outside and off my treadmill.

This game can be so frustrating but today was a real help on a solo run.
