Turning your ringer/notifications off might help or you could snooze notifications. I think different phones might call the snooze function different things, like "do not disturb". It shouldn't be too hard to find that option on your phone.

Thank you so much. I'll check into it.

I have been wearing minimalist (i.e. "barefoot") shoes the last few years. I opted to use my Sockwas for running when I started running last month. They work great for me, but they do have a thin sole and I can feel some rocks if I step on them when I'm running. A regular running shoe would not work for me because of the slight lift in the heel they all have, plus they would feel like they were squishing my toes. I would be a barefoot runner if my feet were a little tougher.

The best way to get a reply is to open the app and go to feedback. Click on that and it will open so you can send an email to the company. I have found that technical help comes that way and not through this forum.

You could do three runs, and then do your third day over again. That would delete the information for that day, so you might want to keep track of your runs on paper or in another app.

I, also, am not hungry after working out. I think it's because the workout, whether exercising or running, causes some kind of hormones to go into the blood. I've been trying to do intermittent fasting, so this works quite well for me. On days I run I do drink coffee with zero carb almond creamer. Since this is an old post, you have probably figured things out, but I think having an intermittent fasting schedule might be a good idea. That way you can set a time to eat and a time to stop eating each day. Reddit has some good information on intermittent fasting.

You have to buy it to see your progress.

Maybe it's something you need to change in your phone.

Thanks, Megblue. You give me hope.

You are absolutely not silly! You can do this.

That's awesome! You can do this.

When I was researching how to use the playlist, the app said that it wouldn't work with Google Play. I had to find the music app on my phone that was not Google Play. I made a playlist through that app and the voice on C25k that tells me when to run and walk and so forth play just fine with it. I hope that helps.

I just checked. My phone has the latest update. And, like I said, I paid for the app. I don't know why it's different (I turn GPS on just before every run). I hope you are able to access the maps again.

That's interesting. I've never seen that on my app. Maybe I should see if mine needs updating, or maybe it's because I have a different phone. I'm glad it shows you the map.

You could always start with week 9 and if it's too much for you, you could go down a week, or if it is too easy for you, you could go up a week.

I have C25k and it never shows me a map (I have the paid version, too). However pressing on a day that I have already run, I can see the distance and calories for that day.

From what I've studied, it would probably be good to do push-ups, squats, and sit-ups on days you don't run. And you should definitely take at least one day a week off for your body to recuperate. It is also recommended to walk on the days you don't run. Best of luck to you. Sounds like you've got great goals!

<3 That is a horrendous thing to deal with. Hugs and best wishes.

Whatever speed you're comfortable with. You should probably push yourself a little but not so much that it hurts you. On some days you may find you can go faster, and on other days you may find you have to go at a slower pace.

Since the phone keeps track of your run via the app on it (and in my experience, with the GPS turned on) I would say if you don't have access to your phone, there's no way it can record your run.

I have not tried to link the two, so I cannot help you there. One thing I have noticed on these forums is that questions like these don't usually get answered. What I do when I have a question like that is I open the app and click on feedback. It allows me to send an email to them. I have nearly always received an email in return, addressing my problem. You might want to try that.

Perhaps your body is clearing up mucus in your lungs. Maybe pushing yourself a little less or finding ways to naturally clean your lungs would be helpful. It would probably be a good idea to see a doctor, in case it's something serious.

That does sound like a lot to start with, but if your body is not complaining by this time (over a month later) then it's probably okay. I would think a beginner would need some rest days or light workout days in between cycling or running, but I'm not a professional advice giver by any means.

You should take a rest day in between runs. The recommended schedule that I've seen is run one day (day 1), walk the next (day 2), run on day 3, walk the next (day 4), and run the next day (day 5). On day 6 you can walk or rest. And on the seventh day you rest.

If you touch on one of the days that you have run, then it should show you your time and distance just above it. It seems to me that you need to have GPS on for it to actually track how far you have run though.
