So this morning buzzing to get going,so starts to get ready and relize my tops are still in the wash damm, so I thought ok I get a backup top, that wasn't even ironed.

So I thought ok I will have to use my cycling top,its one of those skin tight tops don't know the proper name for it anyway it has a zip so I thought I will undo the zip ,I don't know why! When I normally just pull it over my head, and yep you guessed it the zip thing wouldn't move and I pulled the zip part off and it jammed, I shouted for goodness sake well maybe slightly different words 😅, and thought wow what a start, then my headphones displayed no power, and I said tomyself, oh no I need Laura voice, but it was working, and then the app was playing up,so I said whatever, I go old skool and use my watch.

All said and done I eventually got out and it was a fab session, I even broke a couple of PB to boot so Determination wins every day, yep I got the app to work and Laura and the team got me there.

Hope this inspires fellow runners 🏃‍♂️ in this forum.

hi, i know I even got a top with a breast pocket, and let's just say I tested it on my 2nd week of C25K, as yep I forgot to charge them, so the moby speaker's did overtime and at the end we both was Hot.lol

Well done for getting out there despite all the obstacles. Putting my phone and headphones on to charge has become as important a part of my pre-running preparation as laying out my trainers and planning my route - not sure what I'd do without them!
