Runkeeper tripped me up today but it was strangely liberating

Up at 7 to get to the park for 7:30. All good, no niggles, no reservations about running just ready to get ‘ up and at ‘em’.

Started Runkeeper as I always do and got to the point where I KNOW I’d usually be hearing that I’d reached 1k - nothing! Zilch. Got my phone out and saw that it had stopped about 2m from the start of the run. So I pressed Resume and carried on. Felt really good, like the pace was decent (by my standards) and blow me down if the bloomin’ app hadn’t frozen again so I just turned it off.

Ran my normal route and made my way home feeling a bait narked that I didn’t know what my average pace was but still pleased to have been out running.

I think I’ve fathomed what the issue was - I have the COVID test and trace app on m6 phone and I had turned the contact tracing off and 8 think that despite having my location ‘on’ on my phone I think that messed with the app’s functionality.

Anyhow - run done 😊😊😊

Techs issues are sooooo annoying aren’t they 🤬 I’ve started using Runkeeper so will bear that in mind. I do remember losing Jo a couple of times on earlier runs and was absolutely mortified but someone on here suggested I turn off my Sport notifications which seemed to solve the problem 🤷‍♀️

I’m dead impressed you’re in the park by 7.30, I’m usually still 😴😴😴 at that time 😂

Early runs just suit me better - I have less time to procrastinate 😊 In that really hot period we had I was out a lot earlier than 7:30 😂 5:45 was my earliest - couldn’t sleep so I thought “oh well, running it is!”
