Wk4-3 Disaster and triumph

Got set for last session of wk 3 when the app froze on a blank screen added to which Amazon Music refused to work. The only app which worked was the stop watch so remebering the times I decided to push on with the timings and encorsgement. First 2 runs were absolute rubbish. Obviously insettled by the app failure. Run 3 was much better and arms and legs seemed be co-ordinating again.

The final run was supposed to be 5 mons however I forgot to check the watch and when I did I found I'd run for 10 minutes! Twice what I should have done and I felt really good at the end.

So what started out as a disaster ended up in triumph. I can now look forward to weeks 5 and 6 knowing I can run the times.

BTW I'm 75 yo and overweight!

Hope this encourages someone.

Go you, well done, the app is known to do that at times, hopefully it won’t abandon you on your next run

Sorry about the app, but well done on completing week 4 of C25K, good luck for week 5 and just hope the app behaves itself.
