Download don’t stream!! W4R2

This morning’s session was a bit of a dog’s breakfast. I had just started the first 5min run interval and the podcast stopped! Turns out I had lost internet access. For complicated geoblock reasons I can’t get the app so I need to use the podcasts, and although I could swear I’d downloaded them all, obviously not.

By the time my oxygen deprived brain had figured out I needed to stop and restart the phone, I’d already taken a guess at the 5mins and so when I did get it restarted I was out of sync. I decided to go with the flow and just complete the session from where the podcast restarted, meaning I will get a slap on the wrist from the run police for doing 3x5mins rather than2x5. Breathing etc was fine so I think I can count this as session completed!

Definitely no slap needed😂 the app was playing up and you continued your run. Well done you 😊

As Buddy says, you could easily have used it as an excuse to just go back home so good job!!!

Hope your next run is much smoother.

Well done for persevering. Downloads seem far more reliable. Pat on the back and lesson learnt 👍😀🙆‍♀️

After it happened to me a couple of times I started using timer apps. Found a really good one , it allows you to set up all you custom intervals, gives you verbal prompts and half-way-through prompts, plays your music.

Interested to know which one!

It’s called Seconds, I payed a small one-off fee for the full version, but I found it worth it. I now write interval timers for all my workouts, including stretches. It has text-to-voice, so I don’t have to remember order or duration of exercises.
