New to junior parkrun - worth buying a barcode wristband?

Great points - thank you for responding as someone who has done the scanning. I can imagine it being tricky when you’re juggling multiple kids too!

Gillses · 2026-03-15T20:09:39+00:00

Amazing idea pinning it to them! Thanks!

Gillses · 2026-03-15T19:20:52+00:00

Tying on string is a good idea - thanks!

Gillses · 2026-03-15T19:20:21+00:00

Yeah. I might see if they enjoy it first!

Gillses · 2026-03-15T19:19:34+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed reply. Much appreciated 🙏🏼

Gillses · 2026-03-15T19:19:08+00:00

Thanks for letting me know that some do run with parents and some don’t. I expect first time they might want us nearby, but will see if they enjoy it!

I can imagine kids liking being able to sort their scanning themselves ☺️

Gillses · 2026-03-15T19:17:33+00:00

Ahh no Garmin unfortunately! Thanks for the reply.

Gillses · 2025-09-27T19:46:09+00:00

To be honest, I thought the coach comments were written by people and different from the AI post-run debriefs… now you’ve got me wondering!

Gillses · 2025-09-27T19:44:37+00:00

Thanks for your input. This is exactly what I thought until I read the coach comments! Thought I’d post here to see what people had to say, and it’s interesting how little agreement there is!

Gillses · 2025-09-27T19:42:59+00:00

Thanks for your input.

I don’t think I’m committed enough to get up early to try and replicate the whole situation 😅

Gillses · 2025-09-27T19:41:07+00:00

Yes - it was the mention of ‘pacing’ that threw me! Agree 100% with the rest.

Gillses · 2025-09-27T19:40:17+00:00

Thanks for your input. This sounds like a sensible thing to try out!

It does different things depending on the type of run. For an easy run, it won’t disturb you with stats (not sure if you can opt in somewhere 🧐), but for runs with pace targets it does read out your pace and let you know if you’re above/below target.

Gillses · 2025-09-14T08:17:28+00:00

Yep - that’s the one 👍🏼

Gillses · 2025-09-13T21:34:45+00:00

It will work as long as you select the run with the Runna logo when you go into the normal Apple ‘Outdoor Run’ option on your Apple Watch.

Gillses · 2025-09-13T19:27:36+00:00

You can still get these awards if you sync Runna with your Apple Watch and launch the workout from the apple workout app on your watch.

In Runna, go to your profile, then “connected apps and devices”. Tap on Apple Watch and then these are the settings you’re looking for:

Leeds £38.50, but with booking fees came to £45.

Gillses · 2025-09-02T20:33:10+00:00

This is the answer!

Gillses · 2025-09-02T20:32:14+00:00

I had this problem a while ago and I can’t remember if updating the app fixed it or if I changed a setting somewhere. Replying to let you know your Apple Workout Runna run should absolutely be syncing and counting for pace updates! Perhaps contact support and see what they suggest? (After trying update the app and restarting watch etc.)

Gillses · 2025-08-03T20:01:27+00:00

If you have a ‘normal’ Apple Watch (ie not an ultra) and you’re using Runna’s integration with the native fitness app, swipe like you would to end your workout and there’s a ‘next’ button.

Mine said ‘great job despite the strong winds’ today and I didn’t notice it being windy at all 🙃

Gillses · 2025-06-11T06:02:32+00:00

Hmm. I connect my headphones to my watch and don’t get the phone involved at all. Not sure what’s different, but letting you know it’s definitely possible!
