Re: It's oh so quiet! Hellloooooo!

Hello! Glad you're still going strong! Well done you (us haha! It's hard in this cold weather but you soon warm up. It's shoving yourself out the door that is the hardest part. I just ran week 6 run 3 which is 25 mins but I also did the last run as a long 25 min run because it was just too cold to w...

Re: New and desperately unfit hello and diary :)

w6r1 Well sort of... It was -4* C this morning when I got to the park. I was going to run the run as per the plan but when I got out of the car I changed my plans :( I didn't warm up properly and I just started running (slooooowly). It was too cold to do anything but. When the prompt said walk I car...

Re: New and desperately unfit hello and diary :)

I did it!! 20 minutes :) This morning. I really wasnt in the game at first. I was still suffering from a cracking hangover from Saturday night and the associated carb fest yesterday. Sluggish doesn't cover it. I started out ok. 5 mins in I started a me tall battle with myself making silly excuses as...

Re: New and desperately unfit hello and diary :)

W5R2 This was the 2 x 8 minute runs. I hadnt been looking forward to this because I thought that second 8 minutes was going to be really rough but for whatever reason it was ok. The time flew more than in any other run. I passed a few runners and for once I was running too not walking so that felt g...

Re: New and desperately unfit hello and diary :)

Re: New here! Question about app

Chris if you go to settings on run keeper and go to 'audio cues' you can turn them all off. Then only Get running will be talking to you. Much better. I can't help with the knees because mine are ok so far. I have shin splints though but not severely. I think it's just adjusting. Have you done any m...

Re: New here! Question about app

Hi and welcome :) I use runkeeper alongside Get running because I couldnt find any features which do what runkeeper does and using both works fine for me. I just have to remember to press stop on runkeeper at the end of my cooldown. Drove home with it running the other day and scored an all time spe...

Re: New and desperately unfit hello and diary :)

W4R3 Just did this run this morning. It was ok thank God. I didnt get that stitch. The air was much milder today though and I read that breathing in cold air can cause it so maybe that's why. Who knows. The run was a challenge slightly easier than the last maybe. Not a huge amount though and that ma...
