Scotland, here I come running!

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...

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

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 🤗

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

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

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

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

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!

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