Well, that was an interesting run. I didn't have my ear buds with me so I had to hold Denise in my hand which worked better than expected. Then I inadvertently joined the end of an organised run and was congratulated for finishing - that was a nice touch!

Seriously though, it was an enjoyable run, and I am feeling good. And most importantly, my knee is holding up well πŸ˜ŠπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Cool run all round. Can’t beat accidentally gate crashing an organised run. Did you get a medal? πŸ˜‰πŸ…. Seriously, they sound like a very friendly bunch.

I did my very first run without headphones and it is very doable. I prefer to have my phone stashed now I don’t have to think about intervals any more.

No medal, sadly 🀣

Great to hear there is life after Denise, though I am a few weeks away from that particular goal. Well done!

I think the app slowly weans you off comments from your β€œcoach”. I mostly find it disrupts my flow now. I did think that I would really miss it when I’m finished but I think that I will probably be happy to go and just run. Or have zombies πŸ§Ÿβ€β™€οΈ. Think that will be fun too.

Well done and what luck joining an organised run

Gatecrashed rather than actually joined it, tbh! But when I've graduated, I might well look into doing Parkrun or other organised runs, who knows what I'll be capable of πŸ˜ŠπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

None of us know, a year after I started I ran 10k, Willow ran 8k and we are mid sixties
