Well,I’m into wk 9r2,who would have believed it! I still going slowly so my aim is to jog a little faster once I have finished wk9 ,which by the way has taken me since the end of January .I have no idea of the distance I run in the 30 mins,can anyone suggest a gadget that I can track my distance whilst jogging please? I cannot put an app on my mobile as it’s so old!

Hi and well done on getting this far. Having tried it myself I would really recommend not trying to run faster after graduation but just to keep your three 30’ runs a week for at least a month, after you can vary. I tried to speed up and I hated it and nearly gave it all up. I also progressed a lot in that consolidation phase.

Thanks for the info.I think I am jogging faster now .

[Couchpotato2 Graduate in reply to ethelmary]

It will come naturally as you run more. You’ll see once you consolidate suddenly you’ll feel a big progression

Garmin watch... some good deals out there...Garmin Forerunner basic... £100?

Not sure of your budget... but you will be keeping on running won't you?

Well done getting this far!

Thanks for info.Price is too expensive for me so might be better for me to buy another mob that won’t’ eat ‘ my apps !

You can get watches second hand

If you know the route you can measure distance on Google maps by drawing lines.

Well done - graduation is just round the corner 🤗 x As for gadgets if you can get online (and this is just my honest opinion) you could try Amazon (might find a good bargain) for new or used. If you prefer the high street - charity shops (and again just my opinion) there’s Game, Cex etc. Hope that helps x

Yes,I’m a great charity shopper so may find something there,thanks for extra info.
