I’ve done R2 today, so no more intervals now, unless I have to repeat at some point. Went quite well after the initial (now expected) struggle for the first 8-10 minutes.
Had issues with tech again - I decided to try BBC Sounds app which has live radio, music playlists, and podcasts. Chose R2 for a change, but it kept stopping. Restarted it on the walk section, but it stopped again, so gave up and enjoyed the nature! I had issues with Strava last week, and it had been ok since, however today it’s recorded the run as the same date as my last run. Weird. I have googled it and tried some fixes, but don’t seem to work. You can edit, but it’s a right palaver so won’t bother. The cynical side of me thinks they do these things to try to ‘encourage’ you to go premium - well they can do one, I’ve just downloaded Mapmyrun and will try that instead!
On a positive note, lots of people usually say ‘hello’ or ‘morning’, but today a lady aged about the same as me who was walking her dogs put her thumb up 👍 and said ‘well done you’ as I ran past.......
So, I’m extending that out to all of you - 👍👍 Well done to ALL of you 👍👍 😁

That's lovely that the lady did that. I wish I'd have had that encouragement when I was running. I probably looked too exhausted and bedraggled to communicate with!
I had the issues you've been having with Strava on the Nike Running Club app. I'm not going premium either, they can cocoa!
You're doing great and you'll soon be there on the podium! 😊👍
Aww the lady was so kind. Not so good you're having trouble with what you're listening to. Hope you find something that works better. Anyway you did it you completed wk6r2. Well done you 😊
Thanks. I’m not that bothered about the sound - I’ve never been one to walk about with earphones in. It’s just a distraction at the mo to get through the tough bits. I’d like to get a tracker to work properly though 🤔
Yes, but the ads annoyed me. I’ve tried podcasts as well on Podbean and they work ok, I’ll probably go back to that. But I quite like no noise, I’m just using it as a distraction from the tough bits at the mo.
Well done Wenderwoo. Blimey I just turn my back for what seems a couple of seconds and you've finished W6R2! You are just rattling through this like a steam train, well done!
I have blue tooth ear buds which a can just tap to pause the music when coach speaks, so I do that now, rather than relying on the tech to work and fade. Not great, but it works.
well done for run 2 😊 of w6 .did mine today too ( should have been yesterday but it was just one of those days! ) I also had problems with my music oh and the app I found it really annoying, definitely no running naked for me dreading the longer runs 😱 glad your doing well .
Well done Wenderwoo! Keep up the good work. I've gone 'no tech' and am preferring it. Helps me to concentrate on my breathing. Going to attempt W6R3 tomorrow. Wish me luck x
