First time

[Chunkymama]

So so upset. First time I've done it and tootling along happily into my 3rd 90 sec walk and suddenly realised it was a bloody long 90 secs. So checked my phone and the app had stopped working. This happened twice more so I just left it in the end and carried on without. Any suggestions on how to fix it or why it is happening I will appreciate.

Welcome and firstly, well done getting off that couch and starting this plan.

I’d do a forced shutdown on the app and a reboot of the phone and then try the run right there at home... just let it run and see if it completes. If for some reason it keeps failing, there’s a podcast version that isn’t app dependent.

Enjoy your journey.

Thank you for your advice. I will give it a go.

I just use the podcast which I download before a run on my old (steam-driven) iPhone and that always works ... well, so far. Maybe you could try that. Good luck and keep going!

UnfitNoMore has the right advice but just wanted to acknowledge your post and how annoying that must have been! Good on you continuing without! Even just brisk walking the 30 mins would still be great exercise!

Hoping you get the issue sorted!! 👍

Many thanks for your reply

I used the C25K app from Active and really liked it as you could play your own music list in the background. It never let me down.

[Chunkymama]

Thanks I will have a look at that.

This happened to me the other morning and like you I thought this is a very long interval. I force closed the app and reopened it and fortunately has been fine since, you can also fast forward to the point in the run (rather than starting again which I feared) that you were so I ended up just taking a little longer to complete the run. It was very annoying as I didn't want to afford myself any reason to stop! Good luck!

Thanks for that

This happened to me so I downloaded the podcasts to my phone and used them instead.
