Into the mysteries of Week 8...

[parktrotter]

So pleased to be here at last having had a small hiccup with new headphones. Arent headphones badly designed for runners. Cmon guys we cant all afford the £90 airpods. Whatever's happened to all the earshaped ones. I am chuffed to have added another 3 minutes today and wanted to get back to running with Laura in particular. I like the wee pat on the head at the end..i don't reply but sometimes I giggle... like today and think..I couldn't DO this 6 months ago!

Fantastic effort, I hate earphones so much I've run with no music, instructions etc since graduating in October. The freedom is amazing. Happy running

Thanks GTB....I'm glad Ive pressed ahead as Laura is so sweet and I'm nearly there but yes...once I've done week 9 it's back to nature.

I found some good earphones (mpow) they are in ear but have a small rubber curl they called a stabilizer, that fits in the shape of your ear. when they arrived there were 5 sets of eat buds all different sizes to find one that stays put. Not had an issue with them at all. They do have a wire that goes around neck and they are magnetic so the buds stick to each other when not in used which is a fab idea.

I’ve never got on with earphones as they always hurt after a short time. I ended up buying some cheap bone conductor ones just after Christmas and haven’t looked back since......

[parktrotter Graduate]

eep. bone conductor? I've not heard of those Wenders.

She's just teasing because she knows I want some.😉 I have wireless earphones that sit over the ear and go round the back of my head. When I got them I was really disappointed because I thought they had no chance of staying put, but they're great.

wow..think I saw them in the shop. so moddern

Earphones are maddening. My Apple ones fall out or hit my earrings and make an annoying noise. So I got a pair of round the ear ones from Argos. Took for ever to get right and the wire was all rubbery and caught on stuff. Oh it was the stuff of bloomin nightmares! Annnddd breath now ..... sorry . Rant over 🙀

[parktrotter Graduate in reply to Comfortnotspeed]

yep..thats me with earphones...they end up stuffed in my pocket.
