Really thrilled with running 34 mins tonight fir the first time in my life. Love clocking up these “first Evers” at the grand age of 54! And also I had no headphones in, just paid attention to the summer evening and feeling the run.

Next week it’ll be six months since I started C25K, cant believe it, I have clocked up 78 runs!! So I thought I’d get myself a little present and have a new smart watch to record all those running vital statistics! I love it!!

Fantastic effort, great running. And lovely new sets of statistics for you to pour through on your new device. Happy running 🤗

What a lovely jolly post. All these achievements are testament to the effort and consistency you have put in. Treats like a new watch are well earned and well deserved!

I got an Apple watch and I'm using Runkeeper on it. All good so far!

Ooh good choice! You won't need to take ur phone with u any more. I got a Garmin Vivoactive 4s mainly because aoart from all the stuff I'll never use, i can download music on it. You'll be able to do that too. In fact, can you receive calls on it as well or do you have to be carrying ur phone for that?

Ha ha ha - love a bit of tech!!!

Exactly, I got sick of lugging my phone around. I think I can take take calls on the watch but won't when I'm running - it's my happy time!

Well done on your new record and 6 month anniversary 😊 Sounds like a lovely runas well. I keep thinking about running in the evening but I always eat too much tea 😂

I'm interested to know what model you get I keep looking at them but it all seems very complicated.

I got an Apple watch. I've already got an iPhone so I bought it because I'm familiar with how Apple stuff works. I'm not fully across all it does yet, but I've got Runkeeper and my podcasts on it which feels like an achievement!
