Managed to do 25 mins , took it slow but did it. Really need to sort my playlist as I was fiddling half way which made me run even slower arghh

Bring on W7 for better runs and better pace! 🙌🏽

Excellent. I’m just through that myself. Organising your playlist before you get off is essential. Nothing worse than finding it stops or starts playing something you hate. Enjoy

So true, some slow song started off when I was close to the 25 mins and I was not happy and the playlist was stuck! Any recommendations for good running music? I use amazon music 😊

Hi. I use amazon too. I like to have a good long play list then put it on random because nothing more boring than knows what’s coming next. I also add and take away on a regular basis to keep it fresh.

It won’t let me add photos here or I would’ve done that to give you a taste but it does depend on your personal music preferences too. Try searching online for Running Playlists and pick and chose form those and what’s available on amazon. Good luck and enjoy

Don’t worry about pace! Slow and steady is all that’s required 👍😃

Yes, I think I shouldn’t worry about the pace and just enjoy it more, slow and steady definetly made me finish 25 mins! Freaking 25 mins and I am grinning 😀
