Yay! Have just completed run3 and more importantly it was the first time I haven't watched the countdown timer for the whole run....that has to be a bonus!!!😂 Amazing how good music can motivate you to keep going! 🎧

Awesome! I remember first time I listened to music while running, it makes a big difference

[Lstace in reply to Aquila12]

It definitely does! I was amazed!! 😀

Well done! I'm on day one and feel like I've got such a long way to go! Have a good rest now

I've only done wk 1 run 1 Liveinhope, so don't worry. I did that last Wednesday. Do it when you're ready. I just haven't felt up to it this last week. There's no rush at all 😊

[Lstace in reply to Hidden]

I still feel like I'll never actually make 5k, but I'm trying not to think of the 'big picture' and just focus on each run! Hopefully we can all make it and feel totally proud! 😀

Hiya,

That's brilliant, well done. See you're on run 3 and you did it.😊😊👍

Do you listen to the music on the podcast.....though I guess you must or you wouldn't be able to hear Laura (or the guy), depending on who you chose?

I still haven't managed run 2 wk 1 as I have been feeling so lethargic these last few days, not even been to the gym. Regarding earphones, what sort do you use? I cannot get a pair of in ear phones to stay in. Tried all shapes and sizes, they keep slowing oozing back out 😕

[Lstace in reply to quirkybee]

I do struggle with headphones too but I bought a pair off of amazon yesterday by TaoTronics and they seem to be really good! They sit in really well and have a funny semi circle thingy that also sits in your ear and they are wireless which is better than my attached pair!!

I sat last night and made up a 'running' playlist and I have that in the background of the app, I chose Jo Wiley to keep me going as I quite like her!!

You will get to the next run, it's hard when you feel tired and lethargic, I felt a bit like that tonight myself but after flicking through the tv to find nothing on and the cat ignoring me I just thought sod it!

Hopefully tomorrow you'll feel back on top and get those trainers on! 👟👍🏻👊🎧🐢 xx

Oh Lisa, I think I've seen that brand on Amazon. Would you mind popping the link on to it for me please? No worries if you don't though honestly, but I think I read the reviews and they were pretty good. I only want them for running to be honest.

Dumb question now lol 😂 but how can you listen to your own music with the music from podcast running also? I've got a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 phone so it's an up to date phone for most things. Sorry if that's dumb question.

Yes, hopefully I'll do this run this wk. My son goes on hols with his friends for a wk tonight, so it'll be just me and our dog lol. More time then hopefully. I start the Cancer Research 10,000 steps challenge today for every day through June. What have I let myself in for hey? 😂😂

Really chuffed you've got this far, it's really encouraged me, along with everyone's encouragement. Well done lovely x

[Lstace in reply to quirkybee]

The link for the headphones is this (i hope!!)

amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-Earp...

I will only use them for the runs but I have to say they were very comfy last night! And they come with 3 different ear pieces in 3 different sizes so if one is too big or small you can swap them over, and all for £19.99!!

I have an old iPod that I'm using so I'm not sure how different a Samsung is? I just open my music and hit play, then I open to c25k app and hit play and it all just works! When she starts talking the music dips to the background and then comes in again when she stops!

Wow on the cancer research 10,000 steps!! That's brilliant...so now you have to get out on that next run!😉😃x

[quirkybee Graduate]

Aww thanks Lisa, I'll have another look. I've popped a post on for a few more recommendations too.

Will do my run 2 this weekend, wishing you good luck for your next stint, haha lol x

[Lstace in reply to quirkybee]

I'll check out the reply's on that pose as it's always good to have back up! And there really are so many varieties of headphones it's actually crazy!!!😂X
