Creating the eye of The 21km Imperial Duck required pausing the tracking software for a section of the run, then restarting when I reached the right spot. I also found that leaving home with only 60% battery on the iPhone 4 is not a good idea if you have two hours of GPS tracking and music planned. Finished it with 2% battery remaining!<\/p>\n<p>It was really interesting doing the beak as I&#8217;ve never been to that part of Tokyo before, was stunned to fund such a big park that I&#8217;d never been into until now.<\/p>\n<p>It was also useful to identify further issues I might encounter with the GPS tracking. Runkeeper has a tendency to crash in certain situations, and Google Earth just doesn&#8217;t have the resolution I need. I was also using Nike+ on my iPhone 3GS, and Runkeeper running with a second Runkeeper account in my bag (that captures the entire run, without pauses).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/runkeeper.com\/user\/josephtame\/activity\/19964278\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-112\" title=\"Imperial Duck\" src=\"http:\/\/josephta.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/imperial-duck.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the route in Google Earth<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/runkeeper.com\/download\/activity?activityId=19964278&amp;downloadType=googleEarth\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-116\" title=\"20101114-Imperial-Duck\" src=\"http:\/\/josephta.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/20101114-Imperial-Duck.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"536\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The second run in my Art of Running series took place this morning in central Tokyo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":815,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-art-of-running"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/josephta.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/josephta.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/josephta.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josephta.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josephta.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=111"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/josephta.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1962,"href":"https:\/\/josephta.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111\/revisions\/1962"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josephta.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/815"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/josephta.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josephta.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josephta.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
