No.6 using nike app and a hike

[tmbtrain]

I downloaded the nrc app and had a trial with it on consolidation run 6 on Monday this week. Love it, for just one reason! I can see the details on the locked phone screen. This is so good. No more trying to enter passcodes while running 😁 It did also count me at the half way stage then near the end as well. I will miss Sanjeev from the C25K app but now no more guessing the times!

The run itself was fine with nothing to report. The busy road was just as busy on holiday Monday as a normal day.

I started running to get fit generally but also as prep for a long distance hike next year. Yesterday I managed to escape work for the day and went for a 13.7 mile walk in perthshire. Although not too much up and up like Munro walking there were some long inclines and I think it was much easier than usual. Today I'm not aching, other than my shoulders which is probably from the back pack. The rest of the body feels ok 🙂 Its working! No delayed onset muscle pain at all. So I've yet to test the legs on any mountains but it's looking good, I think they're getting stronger👌 Next run for me maybe tomo or Saturday.

I can't seem to upload pics today either, I wonder what's up, getting the whoops message?

What are you using to access the forum? Is it the website or the iPhone app?

[tmbtrain Graduate in reply to nowster]

Just the website on my phone. It's not an app.

It must have broken some time this morning, then. I attached a photo to a post about 9.30-ish.

It's strange as not had an issue before attaching a pic and not just me, Pigpog also had trouble with it 💁‍♀️ maybe it'll be back to normal tomo.

You sound like you're doing great tmbtrain ! I was wondering about the NRC app so I might look at that. I have a fitness app on my iPod and Strava on my phone but they are giving very different results, so I'm not sure which one is the most accurate. I keep them both in a running belt on my waist so they are technically next to each other. The iPod app always says I've run further but the Strava app always says I've burned more calories. So who knows?

I tried for the first time today to upload a picture after my graduation run but got the whoops message. Must be a glitch. I'm glad it's not just my ineptness 🤪😂

Good luck with your next run 😁

I think I get variation even using the same device! I've not played with all the functions on the nrc app yet so I just set it up for 30mins. Worked a treat so I'm hoping to get the rest of it worked out eventually. Maybe the pic glitch is on the system rather than us! I've added pics before so it's a bit strange.

Enjoy your first consolidation run wherever you do it. It'll be your 4th 30 min constant running 🙂

[Pigpog Graduate in reply to tmbtrain]

Thank you, I'm consolidating on Sunday. The variation in apps is a little confusing but I guess I'll just use whichever has the best stats 😎

[tmbtrain Graduate in reply to Pigpog]

That's what I'd do too 😄

That’s weird I downloaded the Nike app today sounds like it’s worth a try! You have been out and about and all the training is paying off.

I have certainly noticed an improvement in general fitness and my wobbly bits are firming up nicely too.

Def going to try the Nike app for tomorrow’s run and hopefully cooler tomorrow too I will let you know how it goes 👌🏼

Ha ha what a coincidence! 😀 be good to hear how you get on with it. I couldn't link to my playlist but just had spotify running at the same time. Isn't it so nice to actually see and feel that this running has made a difference? Enjoy your run tomorrow!

[Voldatort Graduate in reply to tmbtrain]

If you go under the blurb bit in each run there's a toggle that turns off their playlist and it should auto go to whatever you have on Spotify. I use NRC all the time- warning, it has an auto pause function of you stop for a moment- useful for traffic lights but, very very tempting for a brief 'catch your breath' stop 😎!

Thanks that's useful to know! 👍
