I made a conversion spreadsheet and read it every now and then…

Badger Feb 2023 11:16pm, 22 Feb 2023 16,063 posts	Badger I thought by “mix and match” larkim was talking about how it’s a lot quicker to switch on FE, where it’s one click on any page, where with runalyze it’s half a dozen. Certainly that’s what I meant by saying I was compatible, now I’ve stopped swopping units depending whether I’m thinking about 5/10k or other distances.
larkim Feb 2023 5:03am, 23 Feb 2023 20,315 posts	larkim I meant things like if you select miles as the units then you're stuck with race distances of 3.11m rather than 5k, and climb in ft rather than m. I like to mix and match; miles for distance and pace, weight in kg, height in m, and race distances as they're described.
larkim Feb 2023 5:44am, 23 Feb 2023 20,316 posts	larkim It's the race distances that annoy me the most tbh; and I know it shouldn't! But having to remember that on runalyze 3.11m is the right distance for a 5k and 26.22m is the right distance for a marathon annoys me. Plus there are language issues; "longjog" is the most annoying! Minor things though; and thanks for the decimal / comma pointer - can't believe I'd not spotted that before!
Badger Feb 2023 8:00am, 23 Feb 2023 16,064 posts	Badger Yes, I feel a lot of that could be fixed by having a set of standard race distances to pick from as well as being able to set non standard ones where needed. Quite fiddly as it stands.
SPR Feb 2023 8:12am, 23 Feb 2023 39,651 posts	SPR Oh ok, yes get you. They do have standard distances but they aren't selectable. For example 5000 for track does show up but you have to enter it at more than two decimal places in miles for it to snap to, same with 1500.
larkim Feb 2023 8:14am, 23 Feb 2023 20,319 posts	larkim I can understand maybe that they'd need to add different translation tables to the backend to make those things work. I've logged them in the past with RA on their suggestions tools.
SPR Feb 2023 8:22am, 23 Feb 2023 39,652 posts	SPR It definitely something I don't really keep up to date unless it's a PB and I've been lax on that as well.
