Think I've upset Coach Bennett - he won't talk to me!!

Beautiful night, so I decided to go out for a 5km run. I looked on NRC app and saw what I thought was a new run, called 'Suckcess run' which was supposed to be a 35 min guided run with my favourite coach. So I selected it and got the normal countdown, and then..................................... nothing, absoultely nothing! Coach Bennet refused to speak to me, never mind coached me. Not a word! Strange thing was I got the normal reminder every 1km of where I was upto and my pace as if it was a 'normal' run and not guided, but no Coach Bennet to talk me round.

As usual at the end, it asked me to rate the guided run,so clearly it thought it had guided me!

This happen to anyone else? I'll try another run tommorrow. Just thought it strange as this has never happened before.

Ooh sorry you didn't get coach Bennett's words of wisdom on the suckcess run. Never happened to me before. Its not a new one tho, I've done it, it's a bit like the don't wanna run run. I'm on the IC at the moment โ˜น๏ธ desperately missing CB๐Ÿ’“.

Yes my run didn't feel the same at allโ˜น๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

Thatโ€™s so annoying when the tech fails you .. Iโ€™d love to run with Coach Bennet but my phone is too old and Iโ€™m injured this week ! ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ˜ฅ looking forward to getting back out there maybe next week ๐Ÿคž

Ooh sorry to hear coach Bennett had an off day. That has never happened to me yet in all of my 3 weeks if running with NRC. It is very useful to know it could happen though, so thanks for the heads up. ๐Ÿ‘

Iโ€™ve had some glitches with NRC. I did one intervals run where I was thinking โ€œgosh, those 3 minutes went by quicklyโ€ but in reality it was skipping from one segment to the next!!! And here I was thinking the running was getting much easier and that I was flying by!

First time it's happened, so I'm hoping it's not going to a frequent thing. I did tweet Coach Bennett joking that maybe I'd upset him, so we'll see what he says!๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฃ

Sorry to hear CB was a no show, he was with me on Wednesday so he is about, maybe it was something you said ๐Ÿ˜‚

I thought so too, but I ran yesterday and he had obviously stopped sulking as he decided to tak to me again and guided me through the very run that a few days previously he refused to do!! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ
