Update: Since I moved away from the English Garden, I am putting this project on hold. I hope to continue it one day 🙂
What is this?
The goal of this project to stay fit and gamify the (sometimes boring) running activities by adding a small challenge to it. The idea is to run all available paths in the English Garden, a pretty big park in the heart of Munich.
For that I am tracking my runs with my smart watch and use a python script to extract the necessary GPS data. Finally this data is matched against OpenStreeMap data of the English Garden.
The Rules
- Every path segment in the English Garden has to be traversed completely
- Exception: The Autobahn segment that crosses English Garden doesn't need to be run
- Exception: Private or inaccesible paths don't need to be run
- Only segments that are actively run are tracked. Normal walking (even for pauses) does not count.
- It is allowed to use a bike or other means to get to a starting point in English Garden and to leave the English Garden after a run. Of course, this is not tracked.
- The project starts the 21th of May 2022.
The Map
Below you can see a map of the english garden paths with all tracks that I have run so far highlighted. You can click the map to get a pdf version or click the link below the image for an interactive map. Enjoy!
