Just want to say......

[Vintage61]

So... just back from lovely North Devon holiday. These headphones have arrived. In April I couldn’t run a bath. I now appear to own headphones, a Garmin, running shoes and have my first 5k medal. Even fitted in a parkrun on holiday. And I post this not for well dones but a big smackeroo of a THANK YOU to all you guys who have been so kind, supportive, encouraging, funny, wise, motivational and just all round flippin awesome. C25K has genuinely changed my life and I will be forever grateful. Awwww you guys!!! 🥰🥰🥰

❤️ Lovely Post ❤️

[BrummyC Graduate]

Really well done, especially a run on holiday!

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to BrummyC]

Thx, I’m still shocked myself 🤣

Lots of lovely winter running gear to buy now, to add to your collection 😈

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Stop it! ..... any recommendations? 😆

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate in reply to Vintage61]

Well since you ask 😁 my favourite is Ron Hill, my first buys were marks and sparks which were fine for shorter distance but I'm replacing gradually. The Ron Hills are better on the longer runs for wicking and temperature control. I've got a top from decathlon which has been great, but I'm now getting seam rub on my arm. The search begins, I'll let you know how I get on.

Wicking?????

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate in reply to Vintage61]

Takes the sweat away from your skin so you stay feeling dry (not quite so sweat-soaked😳). Hark at me, I'll ask them for a commission! This isn't an extensive test, I got the Ron Hills and really liked them (available from John Lewis so I can click & collect from waitrose, oh yes!) My m&s ones feel hot and sweaty after twenty minutes.

Aw, what a lovely post...I have those headphones, or something similar and I love them. With all the gadgets there’s no stopping you!

[Piggy44 Graduate]

Best post I’ve ever read ❤️ a massive big up to you 👏🏼 WELL DONE 🏃‍♀️ so inspirational 😘

[Run46 Graduate]

How have you got on with the headphones Vintage? I'm thinking of getting some 🤔

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Run46]

I love them! Really easy to use and less fiddly than my iPhone ones. Only thing is I might need to put some padding over my ear as they do rub a little bit, probably just need to get used the feel of them. Would definitely recommend 👍🏻

[Run46 Graduate in reply to Vintage61]

Great thanks...which ones are they?

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Run46]

Tayogo bone conduction. Around £30. Not mega expensive ones but wanted to see how I got on with them. Got chatting to a lady at 5k event couple of weeks ago and she’d had her set for a couple of years with no problem.

[Run46 Graduate in reply to Vintage61]

Thanks, I'll have a look at that...at that price I won't have to wait until Christmas 😉

[backintime Graduate]

Oooh....I caved and bought some cos I can't wear regular earphones (ear eczema from sensitivity to whatever earphones are made of ).

You are doing amazingly well, I'll add my well done to deb's one.

Enjoy your gadgets and keep running !

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to backintime]

[Couchpotato2 Graduate]
