W8 R2!🏃‍♂️ 🤓

Week 8 Run 2 completed yesterday.

I went out early down a nearby track that partly goes through a national golf course and ran as the sun came up, it was a beautiful Lincolnshire morning.

Pace was very steady but great for me!! My C25K app keeps shutting down on me making it quite difficult to know precisely where I am in a run!! My Fitbit is helpful and I keep a close eye on timings so it is still doable but would prefer the app to work okay!

I have tried all suggested permissions, deleting apps, only having C25K running but makes no difference!?!?!

Great progress!

and a great picture!

unfortunately the app can be a little flaky.

i found mine used to stop if I received a phone call

looks like you have tried things we would normally suggest.

all you can really do is report these findings to the developer on your download site

Enjoy the rest of the program!

That’s a beautiful photo. It’s such a pain that the app isn’t working as it should. I’m crossing fingers and everything else that it behaves itself for your final few runs. You’re nearly there now!

Once you’ve finished, there are other options for guided runs that you might like if you’re looking for coaching. I use the Nike Run Club app and that’s been brilliant. It also has its share of tech annoyances but it’s mostly reliable. For now, focus on enjoying your c25k runs and thinking about how far you’ve come.

Gorgeous photo! I still have to learn to take pictures as I run 🤣

I can't say anything about the app since it's not available in Germany - just to suggest to try the podcasts... They've carried me through! Fewer bells & whistles of course and maybe you don't need them?

You can find the podcast here (or directly in your fav podcast app): nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/r...

Thanks, I might just do that, would be more reliable!

As for the photo, I thought it would have been a blurry, shaky mess to be honest! Very surprised how it turned out!!? 🤣

A lovely photo!

Thanks. I was running along, loving the sunrise, cool air, greens-people (golf course) sorting out grass and and whatever else they do! Thought to myself could I take a photo whilst running? I also thought that it was not a thing I could do unless I stopped but there you go...good tech will do the job without you even having a steady hand!
