Two questions about the training log

LindsD Dec 2013 3:56pm, 28 Dec 2013 241 posts	0 LindsD I'm really sorry if this is me being dim (I fear it is....) 1. Why, when a race is in my plan, do the miles run not drop into my log once I enter a time? I have to re-enter it as training. 2. Why, when I enter a parkrun as 5k, does it then store in my log as 3.11 miles and knock a couple of seconds off my time for the 5k time? Thank you....

It would be a good function to add though. 2. Is just roundings, if you changed your log to view in KM it would be correct.

When you multiply it by 5 you get 3.10685596miles etc therefore as SPR says if rounding to 2 dp you would round up. Out of interest the difference is only 5.05 (and a bit) metres so is totally insignificant compared to the variation you will get from not following the exact racing line.
