Today was Day 2 of my running plan with my mate Garmin and my Olympian coach Jeff Galloway!! 🙌🏽
It was cadence drill and acceleration-glider drills day. I watched the videos! ✅ I did a little practice to make sure I was clear about the mission ✅!...Got it!👍🏽...excited...👍🏽....time to go 👍🏽! I went out, all ready to have some fun 💥💥💥.
Weeelllll....I was fiddling... trying to press the right buttons 🙄. Garmin stayed on the first drill throughout and I didn’t get the bleeps, despite multiple pressing and lots more fiddling.
I’m sure my coach Jeff was thinking “what is she doing?” 🤣. That would make 2 of us Jeff! 🤔😊 I knew not to press discard though 🤓. That would have been a bit too much to take 😵.
There was no turning back, so I just resorted to practicing both styles and gauging the time 😳. Yes...I was a little bit all over the place and I don’t know what went wrong yet 😬.
It was only supposed to be a 25 minute run and I was out for 30 minutes, so I just stopped and saved. I’ll take those extra 5 as a few bonus additional steps to JOG 🇬🇧 😁. Hey...I’ll take them where I can get them 😆. This run is saved and I could see the data immediately this time 😃.....so it’s all progress!
I’m learning!! It will become second nature 🔜 (I hope!) 😉
Happy running Runners! ❤️

Errrr....yes, 😳😳 I read that, but I didn’t quite know which button to press. I expected it to buzz me to tell me my time was up I guess. All I got to do with my pressing was pausing (..ooh no 😲) and resuming (ok...maybe this is right...) over and over! 🤪
Some YouTube tutorials will have to be studied later today! 😂❤️
Bottom right is the lap button, and I’m assuming that’s what it was waiting for. If you have another session like that send me a screenshot of the workout and I’ll confirm.
You are getting used to a lot of new things! Once you work it out you’ll be fine. The first time I did the different runs it wasn’t perfect but now I know what to expect - just have to check how many he wants me to do if each!
I’m using Jeff as my coach for the second time. Mainly because I can only manage and fit in 3 runs a week.
I’ve learned how much more my watch can do since finishing C25K.
Thanks so much Lizzibeth78!! 🤗 I’ll get there. It’s very much trial and error right now. The running part was great. I enjoyed it. But I’ll have to just learn about the functions as I go along. Even if it’s sort of trial and error! 😂
I’m sticking to 3 runs a week. It perfect for me too. 😁❤️
The coaching for the drills are great. There are clips already uploaded to watch in the plan before you go out. Your coach does a mini demo and talks you through it for a few minutes and that works great.
I’ve just been told how to do the lap press too. You can’t know what you don’t know until you get there I guess 😂.
Way to go Fab450! Sounds like a nightmare to me - my multi tasking skills really don’t run to fiddling with technology at the same time as running, so well done you for cracking it!
Thanks so much Oldgirlruns!! 🤗 I’ve learned a lesson today and there might be more to come. I’m not too bad with the tech, but I only used the one App before. Now I’m on an app and the watch...well it’s certainly getting to know a different way. 😁❤️
Well done! 👏 You really getting out there with determination these days! I've got a basic Garmin (35 I think) and 2 years on I still don't know how to use all the features 🤣.
Thanks so much Slinkymalinki! 🤗 It would have been much easier if I didn’t create a plan. But it’s all the buttons, buzzes and bleeps to get used to straight away too!! 😂😂 Never let it be said that I’m not a trier! 😁❤️
🤷♂️ This technical stuff bamboozles me for sure 😬😬😬😬😬😬 but it was a run, an extra 5 in the bag and the tour bus moves on 😁
Thanks so much GTFC! 🤗Yesssss!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 I’m just under 34 miles in the bag without today’s totals 😁😁, so the tour is well and truly on the road 🏃🏽♀️ 🎵 🎶 Party on 🎉 🥳 ....ooh, I mean run on 🏃🏽♀️!! Ok...I mean both! 😂❤️
Loved that post. I can feel the fun you’re having with the new tech! And you have also already started talking to and telling off the man in your watch! 😂🤣🎧🏃🏻♀️
Ah...best wishes for your little one Sybilw! Big school is a big step! It makes you realise how grown up they are and how fast time flies! I don’t have any grandchildren yet, but I can still remember my own getting there! So special seeing them in that big school uniform! 🥰🥰❤️
