Best run so far! C25k+

Having graduated a week ago, I did one consolidation run au natural (I didn't have my earphones with me) and then I repeated W9R3 for my second run. Both runs were ok, but I was glad when they were over.

I've now downloaded everything our lovely admins recommend, and today I went out with Laura and the c2k5+ stepping stones podcast. It was brilliant - we worked on cadence alongside some techno music, and at last I just got into the groove, didn't think about time, distance or anything, but just ran! Bliss!

We are off to Berlin tomorrow so my next 4 runs will be along Tempelhof with the same podcast in my ears. Can't wait!

That sounds like a brilliant run. There’s something really special about running in a different country. Enjoy!

It will be my first time running anywhere but the cycle tracks around Harlow so yes, I will definitely enjoy!

Hi Brixcos - perhaps you can help? I want to download the podcasts (?) recommended by the admins. I looked at them yesterday but don't have a clue about how to get them onto my phone! Any idiot-proof guidance would be gratefully received!!

I had a bit of a nightmare trying to find them myself. In the end, my partner did it for me DOH! He went into my Google podcasts app on my phone (I'm with Samsung) and found the C25K+ podcasts there. Does that help?

The Stansted 10K (near my mum's, not near me) is a great first 10K to do. It was in September last year. None this year, but should be back in June or September next year. I hope to see you there. You will be overtaking me at the start!

Thought you meant something different when you ran ‘au natural’ 😂 Sounds like great running experiences. I may need those links after I graduate.

Not in a million years would you catch me running au natural, OMG 🤣! I need good support from a good sports bra!

You'll get the links sent to you by admin when you graduate, but happy to help if needed 😊
