I listened so you don't have to

Today I thought I'd listen to NRC's 'Running & Yoga' guided run. I told my husband he could go on ahead and come back to me when he was ready, then I put BBC6 on and started the run.

I was actually a bit disappointed by it, just the running coach and a yoga coach chatting for 25 minutes. To summarise what they said, yoga helps running and running helps yoga and breathing is really important. I was expecting a bit more insight than 'do some breathing and stretches when you finish your run'. Plus they talked over a lot of music I'd have liked to listen to.

At the end of the' guided' run I carried on for another 15 minutes with Mr OBK so at least I got another 5km under my belt. Next time I think I'll stick to Coach Bennett or Coach Cory.

I’ve had a couple of guided runs where they just seem to chatter a lot but i love the ones where they ask a question to give me something to think about

If I didn't like chatter I wouldn't listen to Coach B ;) In every other guided run I've felt encouraged and/or that I've learned something new or thought about something I haven't considered before. Today's just didn't quite hit the spot for me.

I completely get that, I find he distracts me and makes me think in most guided runs

I have to thank you for this post, I was intrigued when I saw that run on my app but I now know to give it a miss! 👍

It sounds more exciting than it is, plus they're really hyping it up which adds to the disappointment.

Thanks for that OBK - I’ve never tried any of the guided runs but if I ever do, I suspect it won’t be this one!

If you already know anything at all about either running or yoga you probably won't learn anything new. I was hoping they'd go into a lot more detail.

Oh I’m sorry you were disappointed, but thank you for doing some team research! But well done on your run - I hope you breathed and stretched when you got home 😊.
