This was the first time running as a duo and quite liked it . Helped to set a steady pace and time to chat( also support breathing) found it was a slower run than R1 but I’m ok with that x looking forward to Run 3 😍

I did my whole C25K with my daughter last year and loved it, I’m sure i never would have started running by myself as I’m quite self conscious. Just started up again following a long injury and am running alone😩its much more fun with company xx

I normally pop the tunes on and run to the beat x I’ll still do my lone runs but want a good mixture. Was struggling last week to find someone now I have two people( separate days) which will be interesting x hope you find someone to run with x happy running xx

To be fair I just go out now whenever I want to, I don’t care who sees me!! Hopefully when all this is over and done with I’ll get my running buddy back!! Xx

I always used to run with music but after the first lockdown ended, my sister and I have done a few runs together and was really nice to run with her. Was surprised I could chat whilst doing it and stayed at normal pace for me. It also has weird effect of some minutes zooming by but others taking forever (possibly uphill!)

It’s good to test your chatting ability as your supposed to be able to do that . Harder if your by yourself 😂 I need to work on my breathing while chatting 😂
