Description

Garmin watch running app specific to the Backyard Ultra and the one hour / 6.706 km (4.167 miles) yard loop. Mutlipe screens with count down / count up and total times and distances, yard counter, heart rate, pace, with 5 minute and 3 minute remaining warnings. Like the backyard ultra, the only way to exit the app is to stop & save or discard. Distance is recorded both in official yard distances, and in the summary total actual GPS distance. Full stats are uploaded to Garmin Connect on save as 'All Activities - Ultra Running'. Compatible with Strava syncing.
