Best thing about this run (w7r2) was the view to be honest so I thought I'd share a snapshot of it. I completed it, which was the main thing, but the app cut out on me. I fortunately managed to guess that it was around the halfway point so no excessive extension to the run luckily. It was a bigger distraction than I thought though as I was wondering for the remainder whether I'd gone over or not. Turns out I was only 30 seconds over which was kinda disappointing as I thought it felt like at least 3 minutes extra haha! Think I'll adjust my screen sleep settings for next time...
Lovely morning but Sanjeev abandoned me! - Couch to 5K

Well done for carrying on! It’s odd how lack of technology can somehow spur you on to run further! ✨

Oh gorgeous photo!😄
Bloomin’ technology! - Very well done keeping going & good time estimate! A watch as back up is handy. 😄

Well done with your run !
Is so frustrating when you get tech fail but at least you continued and finished it .
Well done 😁👍

Computers! My watch rebooted itself just after 7pm last night, losing all the steps and floors counts since 4pm. What's annoying is that it's telling me off for not reaching either target, and it's the watch's fault not mine!
Well done on the (slightly extended) run. 👍

Good for you 👌 looks like a beautiful morning for your run .
I lost Jo so many times that I gave up on her , but I do miss her 😢
I did this one today as I took two rest days due to my little foray at the running club . Don’t want to mess with the programme .
The club was nice and friendly but I like it here 😃
I'm glad you managed to try out the group. Do you think you'll do a bit of both now, c25k independently and the running group? Might mix things up a bit.
It's funny, the app coaches don't say that much but they obviously planned out when they should chip in well. Well done on completing your run today 😁
Running group maybe good to join once a week but although they are at wk5 ( sincevrestating) this group started way back in January and were possibly at wk 8 ‘ish when lockdown hit.
So really they’ve been at it awhile And have built stamina ( I thought having just finished wk6 the gap was less) . I found they went at quite a pace although I tucked in at the rear with some nice more at my speed 👌. Not sure if anyone uses the app or podcasts 🤷🏼♀️ But they are following same run programme .
My main goal is to continue this C25K and focus on getting to wk9 and not to mess about.
I think I’ll be at wk8 R1 next time I go and they will be at Wk6 , which no way am I repeating 😢.
However as they are really repeating whole thing due to lockdown I think the stronger runners are skipping Some and will get to the 25 min runs next.
So I could just continue for another 3 mins 🤷🏼♀️
I think a friendly club would be nice once I’m a bit more established and can do the 30 min runs , I’m sure it would help you improve .
Good luck with last run of wk7 and the phone 👌😂

I’m starting to wonder if it’s a deliberate glitch in the later weeks to see how much you want it! Sneaky! 😆
Great work to refocus and complete your run. The end is in sight. Keep pushing.
I've never had problems with the app on Android on a Pixel 3a (apart from an incoming call pausing it).
Yes, it's so so close. I'll just keep it steady and hopefully I'll keep on progressing.
The app has only failed on me once before and I think that was the fourth week. There's a massive difference between guessing how much of 5 minutes is left compared to 25 haha. I know you had this problem the other week (it's a C25k conspiracy! 😂)

I use Sanjeev and it’s happened on three different runs but always at the end.
I thought it’s to wean us off coaching before W9. 😁

Try the Podcast instead and download it before you leave the house. I kept getting the app cutting out on me at first so used the podcasts instead.

Well done for keeping going. Same thing happened to me in Week 6 and it’s easy to get disheartened by it. Awesome that you got the timing spot on!
Sanjeev’s my man too! He told me I’d lost weight today.... he’s lovely 😊
