What's happened to NRC?

[Yesletsgo]

Shook off my early morning sloth when the weather changed around midday. The sun was shining but I was a bit peckish and didn't want to delay lunch too much. 3km didn't seem enough and 5km was too much so settled on 4km.

Turned on my NRC as I'd downloaded this run a while ago and...all my downloaded runs have disappeared!! I wanted to do 4km with Coach Bennett but it's no longer on the list of runs. Plus a lot of the runs seem to be in German. Has the algorithm decided I live somewhere else?

Has anyone else had this issue or might it just be because I've been travelling?

Anyway, I found a 4km with Coach Shalane which wasn't quite the same. Husband has got the running bug now so joined me and inevitably we set off too fast.

By 3 km I had to stop for a moment, I was feeling the strain. I definitely didn't drink enough water yesterday or today, the headwind was fierce and the path had lots of muddy bits to avoid.

At 3.5 km my ankle ligament gave a little twinge, worrying. Slowed down again. Husband overtook me on the last hundred metres while I caught my breath. He kindly follows me though I know he could go much faster. In the last 50 m or so pride kicked in, I sped up and overtook him.

Despite my stops it was pretty fast for me, average 8'04" mins/km and negative splits.

By the end of the run I quite liked Coach Shalane after all but I still want to know what's happened to all the runs I planned to do. Can anyone in the Coach Bennett fan club enlighten me?

Well i was going to say mine are fine until i looked at a couple of coach Bennett runs and they are in German and I haven’t even been travelling like you

He's obviously a man of many talents 😂

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Same thing happened to me - all my runs had just disappeared! I spent a while finding them again and putting them back. I have a feeling they’re doing something behind the scenes so maybe that’s why. Anyway, well done on your run! 😊😊😊

That's fine being coached in German by coach Bennett or Schlane if you know Ein bisschen Deutsch.

[Yesletsgo Administrator Graduate10]

Nich sprechen Deutsche unfortunately. All I know is the words for beer, cheese, sausage, bread,' where is' and 'have you got a cot?' Amazing how far this can take you

[Instructor57 Graduate10]

Hmm ..... Yes , all my downloaded and recent runs have disappeared also 🙄🤔

Well done getting the run done though 😁👍

[Yesletsgo Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

I wonder what's going on...

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Yesletsgo]

Well it IS Halloween 🤣👻

I lost all my ‘saved’ and ‘downloaded’ runs on NRC 2-3 weeks ago. Being in the middle of a NRC training plan, this was a bit annoying. I’ve had to use the app with mobile data. It’s now being very inconsistent - sometimes I can download, sometimes not. I seem to have more download issues when I access the run via the training plan; more success when I search for same runs in the main menu. On one occasion, even with mobile data, the run would only play in non-guided mode. 🤨

[Yesletsgo Administrator Graduate10 in reply to GailXrunning]

That’s so annoying. I had loads I’d downloaded for another day and now I’m having to check what I want to do every time I run 😡

Same here.

Thankfully, the plan that I’ve been following was supplied as a .PDF (which I’ve downloaded independently of NRC) so, when I chose a run off the plan, I just download it on the app before I head out and it still seems to work fine (and in a language I can understand)!
