🍏 Catch up run & a gift

[Annieapple]

Missed my run yesterday due to an early start to a busy day! What a blessing in disguise. It was tipping it down!!

Today a blissful NRC run without rain!!!! 😆I am at last getting used to and enjoying these guided intervals.. but love that I still get a chance to do a longer run at my own snail pace too once a week.

Running is an evolving story! I thought I would be happy to do my 3 x30 min slow runs forever! Now I am hungry for more! I have always said that running gives us unexpected gifts! This is one of them for me!!

You are so right! Being able to stand on a new starting line with a different challenge ahead is such a gift. So glad you’re enjoying the change. I absolutely love those sorts of runs too. ❤️

What’s your pattern at the moment? I’ve got a long run, a faster run (intervals, fartlek, tempo) and a shorter chilled run (usually 20-40 minutes) every week and that’s a really nice mix.

This week it’s two Speed runs which I have now completed & Saturday will be a long run. Much the same as yours. I am following their 5K race plan over 8 weeks. I am not doing a race but will do a park run instead.

That really worked in your favour then didn't it? The weather is much better today

Me too, loving mixing it up. I'm struggling with the NRC app though. It keeps forgetting my saved and downloaded runs..grrr. So there I am warmed up and ready to run and no NRC, that's where a podcast for company comes in. Happy running 🏃‍♀️

Try deleting the App & reinstalling it. That worked for me. As soon as I registered again it had all my past runs. I also find deleting some of the older runs helped.

[Sax64 Graduate10 in reply to Annieapple]

I just tried that, but unlike you, none of my saved or downloaded runs reappeared. Although it still registers the completed runs. Hey ho, will have to download again tomorrow. Thanks for suggesting it though.

I had this happen to me last week for no obvious reason. Sometimes the runs would cut out after a few minutes. Luckily it seemed to just start working again and I’ve had no problems for the last few runs. It is a bit glitchy. It doesn’t cope with no data signal very well, even when runs are downloaded at home over Wi-Fi!

I’ve got this going on with the app too. Annoying the heck out of me 🙄

The app stops and starts. Yesterday it showed the guided run screen with the ‘start’ button as if the run had not actually started at all 🤨. When it had as Coach Bennett had started talking 🤔. I checked my phone when I got home and no activity had been recorded. I logged out and back in again and the run appeared but instead of 5k it had only captured a short distance 😤

I’ve just downloaded the marathon plan so not a good start 🤨

[Annieapple in reply to misswobble]

That’s really frustrating!!!! It seems to work best if you start it before exiting the house BUT then one can’t add in pre & post walking.. Last run I let it start before leaving, pressed pause then resumed after my walk.. worked well..

[misswobble Graduate10]

I think something has changed It should work just using gps It certainly did until recently🤔. As long as it’s pre-downloaded, which I always do Hmmm

I’ll keep trying 😀

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

There’s been an app update today to fix bugs

I’m off out now so hoping it works 🤞🏃‍♀️

[Annieapple in reply to misswobble]

Aah 😌 thanks for that. I had a bother with mine this morning. Will look for the update!

[Annieapple in reply to misswobble]

misswobble I have updated!! 😊

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to Annieapple]

I got Coach Bennett back but lost my music 🤔🤷‍♀️

It’s a game innit 😁

[Annieapple in reply to misswobble]

Oh no!! Technology is sometimes very frustrating 😝

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to Annieapple]

Isn’t it just ! Coach B chirped up, my music went off and didn’t come back on 🤨🙄

Running is so much easier than the gosh darned tech 🤬😁
