Parked at the young farmers and ran through the country lanes . I decided to be a trendy smart arse and when Michael said run I also pressed start in strava .I only stopped for a tractor but was hot and tired and no one had spoken to me so I checked my phone only to find that Micheal had bailed and I had run for 12 mins instead of 10 😬 this threw me I couldn’t get Micheal back. Anyway I swallowed loads of fly protein avoided the cow pats but finished with the strava women. Wont use her again as I’ve realised how slow I am and I need to focus on just plodding along not worrying about time plus distance !!

Wise decision. Too much tech too quickly creates endless opportunities for things to break/stop/self-destruct.

Nowt wrong with plodding. Plodding is Life!!

I tried Stava and didn’t get on with it. I’ve now got Mrs Nike Run thingy telling me how far I’ve gone. I’m already fretting about missing Laura.

Sarah took a strop too when I started map my run at the end of my warm up walk. I was due to run 10 min and only realised when I thought she should be telling me to stop (or at least I was half way!). Ended up doing nearly 20 I think (felt like it anyway). Kept going though. Very temperamental these coaches!!

Very !! I think I will just stick with Michael J, until I reach Olympic pace then I’ll start measuring distance x

Well done Amanda! MJ is not the most touchy feely of coaches lol! Good effort running 12 mins instead of 10 and very brave to run the lanes! Will you be doing that again or is it back to the underground spectators?
