What a bloody nightmare that was!!! My iPhone stopped playing into my earphones 😡 I had to run in silence - it was pure torture!! I thought that there was no way I could get through - but I just kept going and before I knew it - it was 5 minutes to go!! But god - what’s wrong with my phone?? It’s an iPhone 7 - so the headphones connect to the same bit that you charge?? It still charges - I just don’t get it?!?! It’s infuriating .....but yay 🎉I did the run in silence 🤣😂

Sounds like a nightmare SharsX - I've never run without listening to something but I have a 5k coming up next month where listening to music is not allowed and I'm not sure how I'll cope! It's encouraging that you managed so well though - hopefully I will too! Is it definitely an iPhone issue do you think - not a problem with the earphones?

I can’t tell you how hard it was 🤣 I’m amazed I kept at it ......it’s def my phone not recognising the earphones! Your 5k sounds tough!! Good luck 😉

Good to run naked sometimes... when you run your races in future...you may not be allowed to use music

Well done you!

[SharsX Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

That sounds so unreasonable! 🤣

It's not that bad.. so much going on.. and your legs remember their moves

Any races on roads will not allow earphones due to safety reasons.

this happens to me a lot. Had C25K running with spotify...it was ok to start with then stopped after 4 tunes and I had to run in silence (apart from my gasping) for 12 mins...ahhh. Cannot understand why this is happening as I have loads on my playlist and it has done it on the last three runs. Hate it with no music to concentrate on and help keep me moving.

It’s totally brutal I agree!! I’ll be staying away from road running 🤣😡

I've always run with music up until this week. I'm due to run a 5k canicross charity race next w/end which don't allow personal music devices. I've done wk8 without and will do wk9 that way too. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but in my opinion music really does help.
