Week 1 completed!

That's me back from last round week 1 and it felt pretty good in the rain! Feeling positive about week 2 but still can't imagine running any more than a minute at a time πŸ˜† Most aggravating thing for me so far are that my earplugs keep falling out 😀

Which type do you have? I struggle with standard ear buds but bought some of those with the little 'wings' that sit inside your ears and haven't had any problems since.

Just standard Apple phone earphones - thanks for the tip!

You can pick up a pair of Mpow Bluetooth headphones for about Β£12-14 on Amazon. Nothing flash but I find they do the job for running and stay put. I feel your pain - nothing worse than spending half your run shoving your headphones back in.

Great thanks, I'm going to treat myself πŸ€—

Wings work, I have those too and only run with one in, so I can hear the traffic on country lanes. It puts you off your stride if they fall out so well worth a little investment. Good luck next time out

Thank you - already ordered and they're on their way - yes it really puts you off your stride doesn't it!

in reply to Kmh1970

Sure does - hope they are good for you on your next time out
