The run I could

[Blossom-]

I've lost my mojo a bit over the last couple of weeks, only managing a couple of runs, you know, the weather etc. ... So I thought I'd do Coach Bennett's Need This Run and just plod through the village for 20 mins, not bother driving to the seafront. Oh I ♥️ Coach Bennett! He told me I was badass, he told me I did the run I could and it may not have been the run I wanted. He told me other stuff which I can't remember but he made me feel so much better! I've also treated myself to some fab Aftershokz aeropex, so I can't leave them languishing in their box can I? And it was the 2nd outing for the lovely new Brooks. Hooray!🥳

Happy New Year Blossom 🎉🥳It happens easily , we are on a roll then 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sounds like you’re up and at it though , nothing specific ( ploddle is your word I think🤔) a 20 minute ploddle and you’re feeling good and BACK 😊😂

Must try that CB one , I usually do the ‘ don’t want wanna run’ run when I’m like that .

Job done 👍 enjoy the next one 😊

Thanks Racing! Happy new year to you too. Yes ploddle's the word! I did Don't Wanna Run run last time, but Need This Run was just the ticket this morning 😃

Well done for getting out there - sounds like you found your mojo! I keep meaning to try NRC - we all need someone like Coach Bennett sometimes!🙂

I’m with you Blossom. He absolutely keeps me going any run I’m reluctant to start and often just makes me smile/lol during a run. Great motivator

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10]

Great you got back out there and kicked your mojo gremlins into the cold. Will certainly check out that NRC run👍

[Jools2020 Graduate10]

Well done! I love Coach Bennett, too. 👏👏👏🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Blossom, you *are* a badass..! 😆 CB does make me chuckle. I have a ‘run crush’ on him just for rekindling my mojo on those tough days 💕

Let us know how you get on with the Aftershokz, I’m intrigued.. Tempted by them but if I become too aware of my own breathing I’m thrown off my rhythm. How much does music mask everything around you?

Well done for getting out there today.

I wasn't aware of my breathing cos I was listening so intently to CB! But 'outside' sound is kind of quieter until you bring your attention to it. I usually have an NRC run and music going but felt 'safer' being able to hear approaching cars. The 'hi fi' quality is not top notch but it's more than ok. They were comfortable to wear, couldn't feel them at all. So although they are a tad pricey, I think they're worth it. HTH 😊

That’s a great write up, thanks. I do get wound up with my trailing headphone wire - figuratively and literally 😆 so tentatively looking for another option 👌🏼

Well done for getting out there Blossom!

I love CB too - and have done that very run when I really wasn't feeling it. It's good to be told you're a Badass right!

Stick at it!!

Happy Running 😍😍😍

I love Coach Bennett, I will definitely try this one!

Do you know if there’s a way to search for a particular run in the NRC app? I’ve only ever been able to scroll through all the guided runs, but there are so many I’d like to be able to search for a keyword or a particular title that I’ve seen recommended.

[Blossom- 60minGraduate in reply to Catwise]

Hi, no I haven't found a way of searching unfortunately, just scrolling through.... 🤔
