App paused itself

Blummin app paused itself. I was thinking “where’s Sanj? Surely 5 mins is up by now?” Carried on running and checked the phone and he was somehow paused. I unpaused him and kept going until he told me to stop. I’ve been using strava to just time the run sections and that one was 7 minutes! Naughty Sanj!

Great job on the run. Not sure which app you on screen... I alway had C25K in the background and it never paused.

C25K, strava and Spotify.

Yeah... but which was open on screen? I started C25K and then opened my tracker, leaving C25K in the background

Prob strava at that point cos I’d started it as Sanjeev said go and quickly stuffed it in my pocket. I remember Sanj saying I was half way before he went mysteriously silent so it worked for at least 2.5 mins. Music went off too

Ok... how strange... still, an extra couple of minutes is cool, you know you got the next step up now.

I stopped using the app and went back to Laura and the podcast for that very reason, I would be happily doing the C25K and it would stop suddenly without warning! Got so annoyed and frustrated. No such problems with Laura and the Podcast!
