Good morning from sunny Switzerland, again.
I have a lot to do today so I needed to get this run done and dusted.
Off I set, marching up towards the far end of the village for my warm up 5 minutes. Then I run back for the first five minutes, cut up the hill for the three minute walk then set off downhill again for the 8 minutes. I hear Laura’s “you’ve run four minutes, you’re half way though” and I think, yeah I’ve got this.
Except Laura doesn’t speak to me again and I keep running, thinking, blimey I must be more tired than it think because this is a long second four minutes. Eventually I check the app and dammit it’s crashed! It’s showing I still have 3’54” to run and I know I don’t because I haven’t stopped for absolutely ages.
What to do? I decide to stop running, walk fast for five minutes, then run for five minutes, then walk for a bit then run home for the last couple of minutes.
When I check my tracker, I clocked a total of 37’33” activity before switching to walk mode for a further 17 minutes. I reckon that middle run was a good 12 minutes instead of the 8 it should have been.
Anyway, it wasn’t a conventional W6R1 but I let the app continue to the end after restarting it and have saved it as a successful run. I reckon I earned it.
