Allow stopping the Live Sharing of a workout after the workout has been started

Suggestion for Sports Tracker

26-03-2009 14:08

I started a workout yesterday for which i had enabled Live Sharing. But due to a limitation with my packet data connection, i did not have internet access. But since i had started the workout with live sharing enabled, i could not switch it off during the enitre workout. The packet data was connected all the while and i think ST tried to connect and share the workout live all the time.

Not just for this situation, but if sometime the battery did not have enough charge and you had started the workout with live sharing enabled, it would be good to switch off the live sharing and get as much out of the battery as possible.

Respectfully suggested, of course.

In a way, a solution to this has been previously touched on by allowing us to "splice" workouts together, or correcting of the route, in the event of any disruption: battery failure, GPS errors and the software bugs (of the past).

I'd settle for a simple route editing feature, which exists in "other" software and web services I'm using.

It would be nice if the editing could be done on the NSt website though without having to use other software. As you say I seem to remember another discussion at some point about editing and joining workouts.

Although I can edit and "fix" a problem workout externally and upload it to the NST web service, I then lose all my lap, altitude, speed (and upcoming HR) analyzation graphics: = no solution.

The NST Dudes could easily add an editing feature.

Yeah, i would like pausing a workout feature which would let me resume the workout even if the phone has been rebooted in between - to be precise, resume a workout after a battery replacement.

I've been looking at these for a while as a way of guaranteeing that the phone will last a marathon etc....

Apparently the PowerChimp only weighs 20g and will charge an iPod twice

How about Nokia's own option mobile charge solution (DC-8)

Quite like this (Nokia Bluetooth GPS) too if I could justify the spend (LD-W4).

Prefer the prices here.

Thanks for sharing that idea. -edit- ditto to mbrett -edit-

I tried to use NST on a three day hike last summer; no go. I wasn't expecting my power supply to last very long and I brought an extra battery for emergency calling. An appliance like Powertraveller's would have been ideal.

My last long run http://sportstracker.nokia.com/nts/workoutdetail/index.do?id=754849 left me with half a charge after 3:10:00, though my ext BT GPS battery died at 30km. That was entirely my fault as I usually get over 10 hours use on my GPS module on a full charge. I just forgot to top it off.

The point is, 3:10:00 is plenty of time for me, and apparently you too, to finish a marathon.

Before my May 30 marathon, I'm including two runs of 42 and 45km at training pace (5:15-5:30min/km) >4hrs. Those runs should give better indications of how long the system can remain powered on a single charge.

The assumptions I made about your potential finish times were based on your long run pacing, figuring you were adding 90 to 120 sec to your race pace. I'm just happy to still have legs after 40.

Nevertheless, I think our setups should last at least 3:30:00.

You'll see my comments re: power on those upcoming longs now that we're NST buddies.

I'm way OT, good luck to you.

It might run out for me. I think I'd probably need 3 days and a coulpe of spare batteries for myself. This will change though.
