I have completed W1R2... before I set out on my run, I would set up my music, open my stopwatch app to count the time, open my “Mapmyrun” app, then start walking. I would carry my phone in my hand and watch for the time to alternate between 60 and 90.. on both occasions I would forget how many times I’d done 60 and 90.

Yesterday after W1R2.. I noticed the “Run Now” button

Oh hello 🙄

I thought it sounded as though you hadn’t quite got the hang of it 👍🏼😃

The app allows your own music and a range of ‘trainers’. The podcast has its own music and just one trainer, lovely Laura.

I loved Laura on the podcasts. The music can be a bit of a marmite - you may love it or hate it, or just about tolerate it - but it is specifically designed to have the right tempo to fit with when you are walking and when you are running, so I found it really useful. I couldn't have done it without Laura. :-)
