Week 1 done! Got harder through the week though.

Week 1 just completed. Was harder today so I'm not looking forward to week 2! Run 1 was great but I ached for 2 days afterwards. Run 2 was harder and run 3 today was the worst. But this was mostly because I couldn't hear Sarah Milligan at all so had to keep getting phone out of my pocket. And it was raining so I was wet and boiling by the end in my light cycling jacket! Still onwards and upwards I suppose. I just hope at some point it gets easier not harder!

Are your earphones duff or something? You need to hear her instructions 🙂

Do the sessions nice and slow and you’ll nail them. No need for speed!

It does get easier I’d say but only if you’re taking it steady 🙂

No it wasn't the earphones. I tried to listen to a download whilst running and I couldn't hear over it. When I turned the track off the app never went right again. I know people say the podcast is better but I haven't got iTunes so thought the app would be ok. It works with my music so I'll just stick with that on future runs! Hopefully Friday week 2 run 1will be a bit smoother.

Aah you shouldn't need itunes, just whatever plays music on your phone will play the podcasts (but then you are stuck with Laura's music).

However the app ought to work - except when it doesn't ;) ( blame tech gremlins, the distant cousin of the running gremlin)

Not what you're looking for?
