Enjoyed another consolidation run

It was a lovely morning for it. I did the 30 minute guided run on the Nike Running Club app. I know it's not for everyone but I enjoy the coach chatting to me as if he's running along side me.

I am lucky enough to live on the Solent. Today l jogged for 40mins and did the run l have always dreamed of being able to do along the front. I do not go fast but today l feel l have achieved!

Thats what I plan to do after next week (9) I feel I still need some additional guidance From a coach

Well done keep going!

You have definitely got the running bug🏃‍♀️😃! Would you recommend the Nike Running app? x

[Hidden in reply to Rwran18]

I'm really enjoying using the app. It's good for reminding you of things like relaxing your shoulders and generally keeping you focused but not pushing you. You are still being encouraged to run at your own pace. x

[Rwran18 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Sounds good to me👍🏼Thank you. Have a lovely weekend 😘

[Blossom- Graduate in reply to Rwran18]

Hi, yes I'd recommend it! I ♥️coach Bennett! I've done loads of his guided runs, they make me laugh, and he gives sound advice and loads of motivation. When you're ready for fartleks try the First Fartlek run! 🤣

[Rwran18 Graduate in reply to Blossom-]

Thank you Blossom, I will check out your recommendation. Have a lovely weekend 😘

Can you play that at the same time as listening to music?

[Hidden in reply to Chick1976]

Yes, I have my music on, it mutes when the coach is taking x

[Chick1976 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks for that. I have tried 2 consolidation runs and just repeated week 9 run 3 for the little bit of guidance/time reminders but I really struggled and had to walk some of it, it’s like my brain is saying ‘you’ve proved to yourself that you can run continuously for 30 minutes so now you don’t need to’ very frustrating.

That’s great that you’re enjoying your consolidation runs, well done.

[Hidden in reply to Chick1976]

I think you'll enjoy the NRC app. Once you get used to the voice. Why are they always American? 😂x

[Chick1976 in reply to Hidden]

Yes that is annoying, will give it a go when I next go out, not sure when that will be as I’ve got a bad back at the moment 😢 x

[BeaufortBounder Graduate in reply to Chick1976]

Try the C25K+ programme. Designed for graduates to develop running technique, speed and stamina. Running music and couching.

[Frenc Graduate]

Well done Chrimson51! The first NRC I did I wasn’t too sure about - I thought Lordy that man can talk. But I’m hooked on them now have to say. All the best! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Blossom- Graduate in reply to Frenc]

Me too! Just ♥️Coach Bennett

[QuadroVEINia Graduate]

Well done, and thanks for sharing insight about app. I think I have it on my Apple Watch pre-installed but had assumed was for professional runners, will give it a go after I complete C25K (hopefully)... don’t want to be disloyal to ‘Michael’ as my coach this past 6 weeks... 😊

[Hidden]

It was actually suggested to me by Couchpheonix and out of my 5 runs I've used it three times. x

[Hidden]

well done - keep it up!!!

[Hidden]

I love NRC I use it as well for same reason, the coaches on it are awesome!
