Scotland, here I come running!

[CBDB]

Quick 30 min morning run with Coach Cory on NRC (“Next Run”).

Really nice and easy recovery run, and as Cory says, most recovery runs are just runs!

However Runkeeper’s Voiceover let me know that I run like a hippopotamus 🦛😕 (but then added: “….don’t worry, they’re very fast”) 🤣🤣😀

This also started my conqueror journey (North Coast Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ❣️) and I’m heading (very slowly) towards the Lake District ⛵️ on LEJOG!

Happy happy!

P.s. over at Strength and Flex it’s getting really exciting, as we’re watching who will get us over the workout / cross-training line! Intrigued? See healthunlocked.com/strength...

♫ Mud, mud, glorious mud! ♫

Yes, hippos are surprisingly fast both on land and in water.

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Welcome to Scotland, the sun is shining. Have a great journey. Lucky you are doing this virtually the NC500 route is full of camper vans. Happy running 🤗

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Ahh, good to know. I’ll probably be overtaking them on the virtual route. 😂🤣👍🏽

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to CBDB]

For sure😂

I see your on the way to Scotland. That is where some of these pictures are but down the east coast . Very scenic where your running to😃.

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Doris8]

Yes. I love Scotland. Lived in the central belt for 10years. (Glasgow & Dumbarton)

[Doris8 Graduate10 in reply to CBDB]

I’m in the Scottish Borders

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Doris8]

Uhhh, love the borders! 😍😍 Nice!

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate]

I love hippos! I didn’t realise they can’t swim until recently 😊. Well done on a great run, hippotastic 👍.

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10]

Hippos are fast! I've never used Runkeeper, this sounds like a very odd thing for it to do...

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

🤣🤣 many people have not discovered it’s cheeky coach voices, it seems. Some of these are quite hilarious!

[LottieMW Ambassador in reply to CBDB]

…oh I haven’t! Just got the standard female voice…

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to LottieMW]

If you want to give it a try, go to Runkeeper, Do a quick start, go to audio stats and choose a voice. And make sure you have workout set to ‘none’.

You’ll love them, I’m sure!

[LottieMW Ambassador in reply to CBDB]

OMG! The Drill Instructor 😂

Ooo lala…😂

Hmmm…may try Mr Announcer for a walk. I can see me ending up back with the standard female 😬

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to LottieMW]

🤣🤣🤣

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Lake District eh? We are going near there next week so hoping to run in different places

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Nice!

[Hidden]

The Conqueror one, is that the newest one they have with Nessie on the medal? Would love to get that one, but first I have to get through all the ones before it...

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Yes, just dropped a few weeks ago I believe.
