Apple watch pausing C25k?

[mookie81]

I'm having a nightmare of a week with all things technological. One of them being, I've restarted Couch to 5K and use my Apple watch to record it as a workout. This seems to keep pausing the C25K app... I think it could just be (hopefully) the voice notifications on the workout app, and I have now turned these off, so hopefully when I'm back out tomorrow for my next run, it won't happen. Can anyone please confirm? I ended up having to, shock horror, complete yesterday's run without recording it, which we all know means the run didn't actually happen then in this day and age if I didn't record it 😅😱

Oh no!

I can't help as I don't record ANY of my runs

I hope someone can help you and you work it out

Can't speak for the apple watch, but I used to find the app stopped if I received a phone call

Yes I think it could be all notifications. I’ll put it on Do Not Disturb tomorrow and see how i get on. Thank you 😊

I had problems on my Android phone similar to this so I downloaded the podcasts and ran using them, the dialogue is exactly the same. I let the app run then when I was enjoying post run coffee, water, breakfast just so I could screenshot the completion to show the family 😁

I don’t use the Apple Watch and don’t record runs but have found the app sometimes pauses if I press something I shouldn’t on my earphones (not that I know what that something is unfortunately) so I always have to double check the app is still running. However now I’m out of intervals I check what time I should finish so if it does pause on the app I know how long to keep going for 👍

Hi Mookie!

I use Apple and haven't had any problems with the C25K app whilst recording my runs.

I start my playlist on Spotify on iPhone, connect my headphones, start an Outdoor Run Workout on my watch, then start the run in the C25K app on iPhone. Then make sure the screen is locked before tucking my phone into my running bum bag. The audible notifications haven't affected the app at all, although I don't use Siri much so my phone is not used to responding to voice notifications. Are you trying to change the workout type whilst using the app (run to walk etc)? I record everything, including warm up and cool down walks as one running workout.

Hope you get it sorted, I know how frustrating it is when it doesn't work, during one of my runs last week my watch stopped the workout, and then immediately told me it looked like I was working out 🙄. It was heavy rain at the time, so I put it down to that and thankfully it hasn't happened since.
