Week 7 done!

Finished my last run just now, though I had some technical issues. Somewhere around the 10 minute run I managed to pause the c25k app accidentally. I didn’t think anything about until I noticed the songs on the radio kept changing and I still didn’t hear the bell or the lovely Denise. I thought oh must be part of the program so continued on. Then I started feeling really tired and thought - man this run is going on and on. So I peek at Strava - which is one of my personal promises not to do until the run is done. What the heck? 30minutes? Then the pieces fall together - oh dear . . . I may pay for this tomorrow but for now lucky me I’m done! 🤪

Everyone has tech problems at some point.

The app will pause if you receive a phone call, as I found out during Week 1 Run 2. I thought "This walk is a bit longer than expected."

Yea I don’t usually use 3 apps at once (music, c25k and Strava)!

[nowster Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I usually have two on my runs: FitoTrack and Podcast Addict. When I was doing C25K I also had the C25K app (with Jo).

That happened to me when I was running a 9K, I looked at the app and it was at 9.5K so I continued to run my first 10K a week earlier than expected.

Lol at least I’m in good company.

That happened to me once but you did it stay hydrated and have a good rest day

Well done for powering through and completing 30 mins in week 7!!! Rest of the programme should be a breeze! Just remember to take an extra days rest if needed and pace yourself!

[Hidden in reply to MaCherie112]

Not so sure it will be a breeze! But I’m feeling ok about completing the programme. Doing the knee exercises today as something feels a little tight. May take the extra day!

[MaCherie112 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Definitely sounds like a plan! Listen to your body every time as knee problems are a killer!

Yeah - I tried to have Laura's podcast and the Zenlabs C25K app but they didn't pay nicely together! I had to end my relationship with Laura.

Congrats on competing week 7 - I also completed it today! Yay us - on to week 8...
