W6 R3:

I take my hat off to those who can run without music coz it has saved my bacon countless times!! This time a bit of old skool hip hop yessss!!

By the way I’ve just ran 25 bloody minutes!!!!!!!!

Calves hurt throughout and my legs were already a bit tired from being on my feet doing a clay workshop (day 3 this week) at our local museum. Had a 100 children in today taking part 😬 glutton for punishment me!!

But MJ called ME a runner today so who even cares how I got there!! I made this gesture πŸ–•πŸ½to my hill today....maybe the music went to my head!! 🀣

Nice one Dee, I guess that's the end of week 6? Just 9 more runs to go. Keep it up!

My first park run was without music . It cut off just as I started and I then continued to run and just as I got to the end it kicked back in. 😱😱😱

Now I use music to try and work out my timing.

Good luck with the rest of the 5k plan

🀣🀣🀣 Alice Levine co-presents it ~ its secretly written by someone's 60 odd year old Dad ~ it's really badly written and so is ripped to pieces 🀣🀣 it was on at the Royal Albert Hall last month!! 😝

My music cut out once just after I started, listening to myself panting for breath for 30odd minutes is not an experience I want to repeat!

Dee_N profile image
Dee_NGraduate in reply to Berksrover

Absolutely not!! Anything to distract me from the breathing and tiredness is a good thing!!

🀣🀣 happened to me too once when my wireless earphones packed up! What a sound? β€œWho’s that?” I thought 😲. I thankfully had a brainwave and put the phone on speaker! So it was only around 5 minutes of listening to myself heavy breathing! That was more than enough! In fact, if I knew I sounded that way any earlier, I might still be on the couch! πŸ˜‚! Oh the joys of running! 😍❀️
