Not like that! π So I tried running sans headphones this morn and just using the timer on my phone and my lap count around my route. It was a bit strange and I was worried I would fall off my pace without Laura there chirping in my ear, but I tried not to push too hard either, and wound up running a bit shy of the full 5k, but at a much better pace than I expected. Next time I know to go a little further π.
Running naked: Not like that! π So I tried... - Couch to 5K
Running naked
That was brave of you. I still need my 'security blanket' headphones although I did try out 'Rock my run' music today instead of Laura. I didnt like that the music tracks morph into each other rather than being separate.
I looked at rock my run but doesn't it need wifi or does it eat your data? I would like something like that but can't find anything that let's you download.
I thought I would be far off the pace without the 1,2,3,4 pace count reminders, but it worked out ok. I did miss my tunes though. I've not listened to rock my run. Was listening to Google Play music before I found the 5K+ series. That one does rely on data, and there was a noticeable data use drop when I switched to downloaded podcasts.
Isn't it great?! I often prefer to run "naked" and just enjoy the sights, sounds & sometimes smells of nature. It's very liberating & just pure pleasure.
Seeing some of the beautiful backdrops many users here run to I am not surprised! I live in the city though and sometimes the music is a bit more relaxing than the traffic and construction sounds (I do run well away from the main roads for obvious safety reasons π) but it was nice to hear the birds chirping away too!
Many of us run 'nekkie' and we love it!!!
Yeay! I have always counted, to maintain my pace, since I started the programme and still do.. so I have the 1,2,3,4 in my head, even subconsciously!
Very well done...
I too am a naturist runner lol, I strap my stopwatch and away I go enjoying the sites and sounds around me (bit of a technophobe)
I enjoy my tunes, but I understand the draw of the sights and sounds especially in the early morn when the streets are quiet and the construction crews have not started yet π
