I’m using Strava again (I’m being responsible honest) I didn’t realise there was a C25K club on there. Anyway I joined it this week. A little extra motivation for consolidation 💪

Ooh, I love a club! I’m on Strava too!

I didn’t know you could be irresponsible with Strava Comfort.... 😕. What did you do?!

I’ve used it to track my routes and just share with my sister and niece as we live miles from each other. It’s great to see her runs popping up around where I grew up. It’s great that we can motivate each other.

I was very irresponsible when I first used it. Not interested in everyone else, but always competing with myself for speed medals. I stopped when I realised I'd soon have to be back before I left!🥴

Speed is overrated. I wish Strava gave medals for distance and elevation.

I got a bit too interested in getting to 5k before I was ready last year. I ended up with a swelling rather like a hen’s egg sticking out of my knee. I felt my knee go when I was running but wouldn’t stop. Der me 🤦🏼‍♀️

Oh ouch. Best we keep you reined in then. No harm in you having a Strava dabble though, but we will keep an eye on you.😉

Do you have to have the subscription for that, or just go on the website rather than the phone app?

in reply toSpeedy60

I downloaded the free app on my phone & laptop and have maximum privacy settings. It works fine for what I need (I just follow with my sister). If you want full access to all challenges I think you may need the full version or relax privacy settings.
