Speed podcast first attempt.

So I’ve downloaded the speed podcast and I given it a go. I don’t think I actually ran completely to the beat but I’m happy with my first attempt. And I was a lot faster than I normally run. Anyone else giving it a go?

I couldn’t do it. I’ve tried to analyse why not. On paper, I should be able to to it - but I had trouble with that beat! It wasn’t defined enough, if that’s the right word. I couldn’t keep to it, because I didn’t know what it was. I gave up and went on a 3K run instead. Well done to you! 👏👍

I will have another go sometime, as soon as pigs are flying 😂

Thank you. I thought the same at first then I just counted it in my head and pushed on 1.2,3,4 🙈 before I knew it I had completed it. I’m still slower than most people but it’s work in progress

That's what I did. I've got a post all about it if you search my profile. It definitely pulls you along faster than you would normally go I think as the tendency is to ease off.

You don't have to stick to *that* beat. Why not try it again, but use the normal app, start with W1R1 and then do it as jog/run instead or walk/jog ?
