Wk 8 R 2

Its getting darker in the mornings so I tried out a bit of a road/path run mainly for the lights but also to try and keep my feet dry, although I did do a lap round the field to avoid another hill. I have to confess to walking for about 90 seconds up a hill I just couldn't make it to the top but set of again when the "summit" was reached. For some reason he C25K app decided to keep pausing and its a good job I had set my Fitbit when the running started just out of curiosity about distance.

I did a different route so my in my head timing was all out of sync, I got to the field and did a lap round, by this time my body was saying "come on how much longer", it had paused several times on my warm up walk which I think Lasted about 10 minutes, so I took a look and it was paused again but my Fitbit said I was running for 29 minutes.

Apart from the hill it went well and I am happy that a few more runs and I will have the stamina to get to the top.

Wk 8 almost finished. wow

Yeah I have found C25k app glitchy sometimes I was looking down to see how much longer I had of a run only to find that the app had frozen and I had done the time so always best to have a back up fitness watch as you had! Sounds like you did more than required for w8r3 and are therefore mire than ready for w8r3 & week 9!!!! That’s got to be a silver lining!

Not what you're looking for?
