I love my city, it's positioned perfectly with the sea on one side and Dartmoor on the other.
Today was a glorious sunny day and as I'm working nights I took the opportunity to run in daylight and set a course to take in the beautiful views of Plymouth Hoe.
Also tried out the Peloton App. I've seen the bikes and the ads and it looks pretty cool til you see the price, but the app is free for 30days so thought I'd see what it's like.
It's good. But I didn't think it was any better than NRC which is free, so can't see the benefit of paying for the subscription.
My legs were pretty tired by the time I got home after the 13K jaunt, and we're a bit annoyed when they realised my HM Training Plan said 12K, not 13. Oops. My brain is pretty chuffed that I did an extra thousand meters, especially having enjoyed the views out to sea, and I'm sure my legs will forgive me eventually (especially when they find out next week is a recovery week)

No need to go traveling the world when this is on the doorstep. Although I do prefer the mercury to be higher up the thermometer so there are clearly benefits to digging out my passport.
That’s a great run B&R. Great time and distance. 👊
You’re in my favourite part of the world. Dartmoor was my late dad’s childhood home and it holds a very special place in my heart. ❤️ We visit often. 😀
I use their coaching plan, and very often the runs won’t link to it Also the NTC sessions I do rarely ever link to it so I get left with blanks on my plan which shows missed runs. Every week we’d get a digest of the week’s activities And it would have gaps and the distance covered less than it should be. The NTC activities have rarely synced with the plan. The activity is all there but linking it to the plan is very hit and miss. If you go slightly under or over the distance it won’t register either All very annoying but it’s free 🤷♀️
I adore the coached runs on the app! Coach Bennett is an absolute ace.! If you’ve not tried it, give it a whirl. There are all sorts or runs and coaches from Mo to Kipchoge, and some runners I’d not heard, of but are very good. There are all kinds of runs You can delete them off your phone to save space once you’ve run them Trouble is the app is battery draining and my phone is useless to start with, so I’ve had lots of trouble with trying to listen to coach Bennett for more than 5k 😃. I’ve tried to run a 21k with him to no avail If you have a splendid phone you’ll be well away Coach Bennett is Nike Global Head Coach. He reminds me of Woody Allen 😁. What? Are you seeeeeerious? 😁.
I like him so much I am thinking of investing in a new phone so we can head off into the wide blue yonder together
My husband bought me a lower bank thing it turned out to be damaged Anyway I’ve managed to repair it with super glue. I’m going to try it out this weekend as I have another long run 🏃♀️
