Week 8 wobbles.

Week 8 has been a bit of a trial so far 😣 Run 1 I was shuffling along thinking "Sarah's gone quiet" and found the app had stopped! No idea how long I'd been running but I was cream crackered. Same happened next time 😤 On the 3rd attempt the app didn't stop but I had to as my left knee was in agony after about 10 mins. That's the first run I've actually given up on 🙁 but a week off to rest and today I had another go and made it to the end ok. Nearly week 9 😳!

Well done Captain_Autumn! It’s so annoying when our tech doesn’t work, it really throws us doesn’t it. But you persisted and now the end is in sight, which is very exciting! All the best for week 9! 🏃‍♂️👏🏼👍🏃‍♂️👏🏼👍

I had the same 'wobble' at week 8, keep going - it does get easier, you're nearly there and have come so far - well done! 😚

I’ve had a similar issue with my tech twice now, so I always have a secondary tracker running in the background. Either Strava or my iPhones standard running app. That way if you accidentally pause your c25k at least you’ve got another means of seeing your time.

No wonder your knee gave out after running a couple of accidental marathons! Better luck for next week . You're nearly there, keep on keeping on 👟
