W4R1 - but where was Laura?

Was a bit concerned going out but knew Laura would be with me. However, Laura deserted me after the warm up walk and I was left to my music, mapmyrun and my own devices. Difficult when you can't read the time as you don't have your glasses. Felt I did ok though - 1.89 miles in 27.53. Mostly jogged after I lost Laura but had three walks of between a minute and two each. Seemed to find it easier today. Hopefully that feeling will continue. Can't log run as completed though. On to W4R2 tomorrow. Happy running. I hope I haven't upset Laura lol

Oh dear ! Have you got her on the app or the podcasts ? The podcasts are much more reliable than the app...Sounds like a good session anyway.

Oops ha ha! That's happened to me before, she disappeared and I kept running, thinking "Please, Laura, pleeeease, that must be three minutes!" Turns out I'd pressed pause on the app whilst fiddling about with MMR and my playlist... Yep, without glasses!

Find Laura again, as you will need to listen to her for the rest of the runs

Specs! Aren't they a damned nuisance. LOL

I use Laura's podcasts as they come with music to run to. You just download them like any music file.

I use the podcasts too and they are great although not so keen on Week4 music. I liked the hillbilly one on Week3 and found myself singing out loud! Good job there was no one around!
