So I tried the stepping stones podcast today. I hated the music ๐ŸŽผ and didnโ€™t really understand the beats and found it difficult to hear it and keep focusing on it. Is it just me or have others found this?

I also felt it was too fast for me so I really just ended up running at my own pace with Laura as my time keeper.

There was a very friendly council worker on his little machine collecting all the leaves ๐Ÿ which was brilliant and will make it much better to run on.

When I added my run to Strava I was very surprised to see I was the local legend on this segment I run. Just laps, fairly flat with just one road to negotiate and was my โ€˜comfortโ€™ route when doing the program. Along the green and down the train ๐Ÿš‚ track alleyway.

Very pleased with myself & my progress. ๐Ÿ

My average cadence is 177spm so do I need to worry about bpm? xx๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Hi Angie. I listened to those podcasts and thought the same as you; I didnโ€™t actually try to run with them, too stressful. ๐Ÿ˜

Iโ€™ve heard 180 cadence is a good aim but it also depends on height and stride and other things. I feel thatโ€™s more for elite athletes though. 177 sounds good.

As long as itโ€™s fun to run and no injuries. ๐Ÿ™‚
