SPR May 2021 9:20am, 27 May 2021 34,336 posts	SPR Lane 5 will have defined distance too. Your training partners probably have the wrong distance too TBH, with track for most people, it's just degrees of wrongness which is why track mode exists

HappyG(rrr) May 2021 9:24am, 27 May 2021 38,828 posts	HappyG(rrr) Yeah, I was going to say same as larks and SPR. If you are running in outside lanes, then you are doing extra distance! That's why there are staggered starts for 400m, of course! If you want to time accurately on track, you're running the inside, it's 400m and you time with a stopwatch. GPS really doesn't work for track, imho. The satellites are 20,000,000 metres away after all. They're going to struggle around a 400 metre track! G
HappyG(rrr) May 2021 9:25am, 27 May 2021 38,829 posts	HappyG(rrr) Nearly 450m in lane 7, like larks said and as per SPR post. That's a decent difference! G
larkim May 2021 9:28am, 27 May 2021 14,552 posts	larkim To be fair, it's not the satellite's fault. As my son will tell me, some ground based receivers have pretty high levels of accuracy and precision, so if you want to carry around a few £000s of kit round a 400m lap it'll be able track that lap pretty confidently!
SPR May 2021 9:30am, 27 May 2021 34,338 posts	SPR If the session is mainly in Lane 5, then I'd use lane 5 distance and be slightly under. My watch with track mode stays on lane 1 as the important bit of the session is in lane 1. If I was doing sprints including the curve in another lane, then I'd change it.

HellsBells May 2021 12:12pm, 30 May 2021 28,034 posts	HellsBells Hello I ran this morning for the first time since forever. My run hasn’t imported to Fetch though Yesterday’s walk came over OK, the walk I did at the end of today’s run is there, but the run itself didn’t import. I can see it in Connect, so that bit worked - how do I force it over?
Rosehip May 2021 12:49pm, 30 May 2021 21,279 posts	Rosehip If you log in to connect on a laptop (probably a tablet as well?) and open up the run you can use the little settings icon top right to export/download the file and then import it into fetch from the add trining page. Or you can plug your watch into the laptop and find the session from there whenever I've done that though, the run will usually find it's way across eventually and I end up with a duplicate
