aaaaaaaaaaarfggghhhhgghghaaaaaaghhhhggggrrrrrggghhhhhh!
third 25 minute run in a row so thought I should push myself today to alleviate any potential "boredom" - caused me some initial issues as the pace I set to begin with was faster than previously and couldn't quite get the rhythm for my breathing. Settled down about 6 minutes in.
My route is not a convenient loop unfortunately - I run away from the house and then have to turn round and come back, so I have to listen carefully to make sure I don't miss the announcement from Laura of 1/2 way - otherwise I end up too far away to get back by the end of my run. Anyway - passed my previous furthest distance out and kept on going before having to turnaround. Was surprised how far I managed to get, and still made it back to the start by sign-off time. even pushed myself for the last 30 seconds - couldn't do the full minute Laura - sorry!
Last run of the week on Friday.
I just loved the phrase that Mr Smooth used, " you may want to change your pace now" .. I may but never did, the only change was going to be slower and certainly not faster...So Lara does the same then...
You pushed an extra 30 seconds, that's 30 more than I ever did... Well done you
Yes I think they all read from the same script - it does call into question their integrity - but I'm too deeply committed to bring the whole shiny edifice down now - and everyone else seems bought in so why undermine something that is doing good for so many.
Laura is the original c25k coach. She did the program herself and so knows exactly how we feel.
The new 'coaches' on the app are reading from her script by the sound if it.😊x
A very loyal Daughter of Laura
I have seen Laura referred to on here as 'she with the mechanical voice'..
Outrageous 😯
WHAT??!!
Outrageous indeed
How rude - her pithy encouragements are just what I need sometimes - although did consider adding some variety by mixing in some Jo Whiley - but can't download the app to my phone. So I'm staying faithful to Laura to the end.
Noo I refer to mechanical voice lady who is the Map My Run robot... if people have mistaken that for Laura I apologise....
BTW who is Mr Smooth? Is that another Ap?
Michael Johnson, there are a few people on here who have a bit of a crush going on ( Jancanrun .....)
I had a girl crush on Laura. Maybe we all just get attached to our coach
Yeah - I'm wondering when to break it to my wife I've been spending time with another woman.
I do mean Laura BTW before there's any potential confusion.
Well caught....
Lol, it's funny how we pick our mentors. I never went with 'crush' though, l chose Mr Johnson through great respect and running while listening to him helped me a lot.
Yep I'm Mr Smoother! Could listen to him all day couldn't run that long tho lol 😀
Ooh I did not know that . So Mr Smooth is just an Olympian follower then...
Ohhh me too JCR...there's no quickening from me!! Even if I were bursting for the loo my pace wouldn't change!!!
Hahahah yes every time they say that I think hmm and you may just want to sod off!! 🤣🤣
