Week 6 run 3

What a disaster! My app crashed 4 times! Kept restarting, no idea why! It completely put me off and my timings were all over the place but I managed to run for 25 minutes. It’s the first run I’ve not enjoyed, felt really deflated at the end and absolutely dreading doing it again. 😔

Frustrating indeed, but the key words in your post are ‘I managed to run for 25 minutes.’ Hold on to that. It may not have been enjoyable but you were successful. There are no more interval runs after week 6 so if you’re worried about it why not set a timer on your watch or phone so that you’ll know when 25 mins is up whether the app crashes or not?

Thank you, great idea for the timer too!

Crikey no wonder it wasn’t enjoyable with app crashing BUT you kept going and didn’t give up. Well done! All the runs now are at least 25 minutes so set your timer in the background, get your playlist going and off you go. My phone is completely temperamental.... If I’ve learnt an extra skill whilst doing this it’s being able to fiddle with the buttons whilst running! Good luck with W6R3 x
