Running multiple apps

So today for my third run at the gym on the tread mill I decided to actually remember my blue tooth head phones so I could hear the lovely voice of Joe Willey in my ears whilst running (no pun intended), two other virtual coaches too-the 💯 % military fitness app gave up within 10 minutes as that’s all the beginner Programe did and the Nike plus running app I could not hear as I think 🤔 my head phones could only connect to one device that being my phone in my pocket, even though I think it was still trying to coach me from my Apple Watch ⌚️ -I ended up not even listening to what Joe Willey was saying because I was using two other coaches and wanted the best results, hehe, I know my lidl headphones 🎧can connect or tether to other head phones as to connecting to two devices to one set of ear phones 📲 I really am not sure 🤔 heheh 😏

Well it is possible I just can’t be bothered to fart around with cables all day-I al not sure it is possible but basically I’d have to get my headphone splitter and blue tooth receiver plus one of my auxiliary to auxiliary cables to make it happen-I just don’t think I am that committed or think it’s worth the hassle, I could just break the training up by running three times a week but just one app at a time or something...there are so many out there

I just use mapmyrun and Deezer (and C25K if I’m doing fartleks). They seem to work fine on one phone and one pair of headphones and the stats on Mapmyrun are fine for me.

Well I did it again I was running multiple apps and Joe Willey did seem to glitch out as after I had started she tried to remind me that the run had started again.

It was good to run intervals today as I just couldn’t be arsed and stuff usually 3 minutes running and 3 minutes off-as I building up to endurance running not interval running but I guess this helped in some respects
