Coach to 5K - problem with closing phone in the middle of first walk

[Sewblu]

I'm new here and I have the app for Couch to 5K on my Huawei P smart. This app drops out during the first 5 minute walk? Help please.

You will probably need to go into the phone's settings to allow the app to run in the background. Some brands can be far too aggressive about stopping apps from eating battery.

I don't have a Huawei myself, so I can't tell you where that setting is.

i have a Huawei P30 Pro, and had to give permission for background running of the app

My son has a Huawei phone, this also happened to him, he has to go into his settings to allow the phone to not go into 'sleep mode' while hes doing his run

Settings, display and change to "never" go to sleep. I have the same phone and had the same problem.

Thank you all for replying , I have now sorted the phone and stopped it from power saving.
