I think you meant to type <10

Is it wise to trust the fitness counter on my Sony erricsson? Ive passed selection with a time of 11.26 and im still running as much as ever with 3mile jogs through the week, when i use this to time my 1.5 it comes up with some crazy times..... for example today it says i did 1.1miles in 12 minutes...????WTF cant be getting worse surely.

Well how long does it take you to run 3 miles? Maybe you're running with a slower pace because it's a longer distance?

Ran a 10:40 today, pretty pissed off. Full of a cold and I didn't think it would effect me but it really did, had a hard time keeping my breathing steady after the first mile, and was starting to lose my breathing rhythm by the end. Was pissing it down as well (end of our good weather ey lads..). It's really bugging me since im going para, im getting plenty of bed rest and getting back out tomorrow to sort that shit out. lemsips for now.

I usually do 1.5mile run once a week just to keep track of my time, i didnt seem to be running at a slower pace, seemed as normal as ever. About a month ago it was saying i ran it in 10.20........... Which ive never been able to do, must be dodgy.

i wouldnt trust them, i also have used one after mapping my run and it only said i had run 1.1miles, better to use map my run and get a watch and time yourself with that.

good point, I run 1.5 miles in 9.05, when I run 3 miles my 1.5 mile time is 10.23, different pace altogether run 3 miles in 20.04 at the mo

I ran 9:45 I think it was on ADSC yesterday. I came about 8th.

meshell dont trust Sony ericsson . go on google maps and map out your run and take a normal stopwatch or do it on your phone (jus tthe stopwatch dont use tha fitness thing lol) and then youll see your accurate time
