MixedFeelings - NRC

[Stratters]

I’ve just done the first run in the prog put together for me by NRC ap ..... in a way I’m disappointed because it only had me run for 12 minutes ..... but in another way it’s got my motivation / excitement back because I’m now on a mission to build strength, endurance, speed. It gives me the illusion I’m being “monitored” and therefore must stick to the instructions and push myself.

Also - it seems the data gathered from the first 2 or 3 weeks will be used to develop a more specific plan thereafter ....... sounds quite scientific and if it has me running 10k a couple of times a week by about June - i’ll be delighted!

It also lets me use my own Apple playlists in the background and seems to do a good job of recording all the facts and figures.

Happy running everyone!

Stratters, let me know how you get on, I got the app to do a programme for me too, but binned it when I saw it was only asking me to run 1.5k in week 1. Keep me posted.

I will ...... I’m thinking it’s a medium term thing - going a few steps back to be able to go further forward without too much stress?

Hi there! I’ve also been using the NRC app and the ‘my coach’. I started 6 weeks ago on the 15k training program and have 2 weeks left. I’ve noticed that although some runs are really easy, others really stretch me. I am definitely a better runner now than I was at the beginning of the program so I guess it works! The program also updates depending on your progress which I like. The only problem I have with the app is that it doesn’t always sync...

anyway, enjoy. Happy running!

Good luck with 15k !
