So ye I can run naked!!. Yay for me!! No not actually naked - no music naked. I know some people do this but Iโm a music runner. Phone switched off 5 mins so no music no run app telling me how fast (slow in my case) my run per km is. Wouldnโt do it on purpose but itโs not as bad as I thought. Saves all that faffing around. Loving running for enjoyment (flipping โeck never thought Iโd say that) Hope everyone has a great run or rest day.๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ

In running terms naked just means running with no music, timing device like Strava, Mapmyrun, a watch on your pace, etc, not running bare naked with no clothes on like I was told happens in some places in France, I assume a private beach or some forest somewhere in France ๐ซ๐ท, not just France, perhaps maybe somewhere in the UK ๐ฌ๐ง ๐คฃ
Itโs nice to just be able to run without having to think I need my phone for the app . Getting frustrated when earphones play up. For now I can just run ๐๐๐
I always run without music though sometimes I might have a tune in my head. It just seems too much faff to me but maybe I should dig out my old ipod and give it a go.
I used music during the final weeks of C25k. I made songs playlists that had songs that were exactly 5 minutes long. Instead of having 20, 25 and 30 minute runs, I had 4, 5 and 6 song runs. Helped when I was initially working on stretching the distance when I could convince myself that I just had to keep going to the end of the next song...
Since then, I've tended to prefer the "naked" approach; helped by the fact that I can either never find my earphones or, when I do, they need charging.
I was having all kinds of Problems while following the app. Some of my runs were ruined, by my own bad mood, caused by tech issues. At least while free running, if it mucks up I shrug and put earphones in my pocket and carry on! ๐
I think before I was always stressing over the app. I needed Sarah to guide me. Tech mess ups caused a lot (not all) of my bad runs. Today just felt like I was just running to enjoy it, just for fun! Whatโs going on ? Am I ill? Or do I just love running ๐โโ๏ธ ๐โโ๏ธ
I liked running naked when the weather was better, now I find I like to be distracted from the biting cold wind (don't mind rain, within reason). Besides, someone keeps recommending songs to add to my playlist. ๐
Iโve got lots more and You know you like it. Iโve got a feeling youโre going to like my next choices. Well I hope so anyway. Nothing as weird as Red right hand though ๐๐
