Wk4r3 completed

Good morning all, completed wk4r3 this morning, hard going as app stopped playing twice during a run segment and I kept running, waiting for Michael Jordan to tell me I was halfway through and it never came ...😀... so I think I may have run for more time than required. Any tips for stopping the app from pausing? I’m using MapMyWalk and a podcast app at the same time.

Wk5 coming up on Thursday and I’m refusing to take a sneak peek so I don’t scare myself off. Have a great week everyone.

I found that if something else used the audio on my iOS device then the app would pause. So if I was foolish enough to go “Heh Siri, turn the volume up”, then the app would pause when Siri replied and I would have to restart it manually. If messages are being announced when they come in, that also paused it. Hope that helps for you tracking down your problem.

I find that MMW will over ride the app.

So far the I mile split hasn’t collided with Jo telling me stuff. I think you can turn off the audio alerts on MMW, if that is the problem...

I smiled reading your post..! Funnily enough I had the same issue during W4. As others suggest, I blame other app interference. I use Pacer and have just switched off the stat commentary which seems to have sorted it. Still got the fear in me it will happen again though..! Not even a bit funny after W5..!

Well done on ‘over-running’ (Shh, wait, that’s BAD, stick to the programme!) It proves any barriers are all in your mind 🙂 Plus you know you’re more than ready to head into W5! Good luck!

You are doing great, I remember a couple of blips with the app in the middle of the programme, maybe it will be ok now

Thanks for all the responses.. did wk5r1 today, was pleasantly surprised when I realised it was 15 minutes running. Turned off voice notifications for MMW and all seemed to run smoothly, bring on wk5r2 on Saturday!!!!

If it's Android you want to exclude the C25K app from battery management.

Not what you're looking for?
