A funny thing happened

Yesterday was a bad day, I should have gone out, run, walk, it wouldn't have mattered, but I didn't.Today has to be better.

So, didn't put much thought into it, got dressed, set up NRC second run, added music and out the door

Warm up walk, gentle run, I'm a little achey but can run very slowly. This run is 22 minutes, and coach Cory chats away, I run on, the sky is grey, the pavements are wet, nothing to write home about. Then CC says 2 minutes to go, when I come back I'll count you in. That's funny! Looked at my watch, iv been running 6 minutes, then he's back counts me in, I keep going, then he introduces the first speed run, so I stop, stop the app, start it off again and very slowly run the 22 minute run again. Don't know what that was all about.

Get home, look at the app and still don't understand what happened.

I'll have another go tomorrow.

The sky is blue now and I'm pleased I got out.

Run happy or rest well

Haha, who knows 😂 I've certainly had a few glitches with the app over the years 😊At least you got a run in and had fun .... That's what matters 😊👍 x

I'm finding if I go out in the morning I can get through the day better

Well done for taking over and finding your solution Sola. Can’t let the electronics take over. Sounds like a nice run.👍🙂

I enjoyed it thanks Beachcomber, the next one is speed intervals though and I don't trust the bumpy gravelly paths round here so think I'll go back to the park and run round the track there

Intervals are good; but less fun in the mud!! We don’t want any face plants..👍

Technology is great when it works but can be so frustrating when it doesn't 😡I hope you have a better weekend.

After pouring rain yesterday we're back to sunshine today.... makes everything seem better.

I hope the sun is out for you 🌞

Same as dijep -tech is wonderful until is isn’t! It’s such a fickle friend. Great that you made the most of it anyway! ❤️

I wouldn’t worry about yesterday, it was foul weather and I didn’t get out the door either. A good day for catching up on admin and having a clear up in my case. Sometimes the tech is in a world of it’s own Sola! But well done you for starting it again .

I wasn't going to give up Dexy, and I'm perfectly capable of running just over 30 minutes so wanted to carry on

Technology ok when working. I’m hopeless. At least it’s a run , and good on you after your fall. 😊

I do find it helps the day go better if I get out in the morning

I think Coach Cory must be on a go slow Sola, he seems to have been very badly behaved over the last couple of days! I’m so pleased you managed to get out and run today, it will be the first of many to come I’m sure!

I think you are right, at least that's 2 this week, my legs don't feel very strong but they will be if I keep it up

oh the challenges of technology, I’m impressed you get on so well with it. I’m ok as long as I can just push the buttons and go then stop and ouch the button, anything more complicated will fix me. Well done on your run.

Tell CC to sort himself out or next time you will just run with Mr Garmin !You're doing so well with your running since covid!

I'm being sensible and taking it gently

Very strange but at keast they stayed with you.... on my last three trys with Nike guided runs they've disappeared mid sentence and never returned even though app keeps recording the run. I must have upset them somehow..... 😱 Well done for getting out and hope your scrapes and bumps are healing up nicely.

SueAppleRun profile image
SueAppleRunGraduate1060minGraduate in reply toCowladyrunning

That's so annoying when they just disappear on us, coaches are fickle, I'm healing surprisingly well although found a few extra bruises the next day, the grazes have almost stopped hurting too 😀it's been a strange few weeks

we’ll done for a) getting out there after your fall and b) ignoring coach Cory and the tech glitch. I find NRC a bit hit and miss but being up in North Cumbria the reception isn’t too good. 🤣🤣

Thank you, it's good to go for a run even though it's been a bit sporadic this year, and having a coach takes my mind off things

…it’s good to get out! Put the bad days behind you and enjoy today. 🌞🌸🌷🌼

Tech problems are so annoying! I should know…I’ve had my fair share of them 😬🤦🏻‍♀️🙄
