Hi James

The colour purple to higlight the runs is chosen well I think  
But the clolour of the strating node can be confusing, it is red and has the same form as a ‘not yet run node’. Maybe it would be an idea to change it to blue to distinguish it from the ‘not yet run nodes’  
Mutatis mutandis for the green end node of a run.  
An other, mayby better and or supplemental option could be to change the shape of the start and end node of a run/walk?

Hm. I thought start was green and red was end…

I like the shape idea!

Quite a lot of people are color blind (around 6.5%), so it’s best to avoid using color _alone_ to indicate the status of something. Shapes, icons, etc. help make the information legible to everyone.
