Silly Q but does app need data to work?

Hi. Next week is my week 9 but I’m in Iceland from Sun until Thurs. I want to run when I’m there otherwise I’ll need to wait until I get back to do my 2nd run of week 9 and I’m afraid if I have as long as 5 days between runs I’ll lose momentum if you know what I mean? I’ll have left it so long that I’ll struggle or won’t want to do it. Anyway my Q is, will the app work in Iceland? Does it need data to work or will Laura still talk to me?! Want to stay on schedule next week as I’ve come this far!!

I’m currently in California and have just done my first run here and the app worked just fine with no data. Good luck with your runs in Iceland!

Great! Maybe all the app needs is there once it’s downloaded onto the phone. I’m not very IT savvy! Enjoy California, amazing!

No, I’m not either. Just had to double check with my husband in case I gave you duff info!! 😳😂 It was pretty special shuffling along in the warm sunshine this morning, could get used to it!

I bet! It’s been wind and rain here in Scotland in recent weeks so would happily trade it for some California sunshine!

Apart from certain countries banning the Internet and Iceland isn't one one of them you should be able to get the C25K app anywhere in the world, good luck for your second run of week 9 in Iceland, if you run it after dark you may even see the northern lights 🚥. 😊 🏃
