So today I was definitely not feelin it, but I hauled my butt off the couch and went to the gym. I have been training for a 5k for about 4 weeks now, working to decrease my total time so every treadmill session, i try to shave off at least 5 seconds (small goal but hey it's something). So I start my treadmilling and I get REALLY into it... I catch my second wind and I am kicking some serious @$$. Im paced to shave at least 2 minutes off of my total time and I'm at 35 minutes and all of a sudden, my treadmill shuts off.

SO FRUSTRATING!!!

Yes, I did restart it and yes I did finish it, but it just wasn't the same...
WWAAAAAAAAHHHHH :'-(

Whine session over.

    That happened to me once but my heart rate was in the 170's and it thought it was smarter than me and shut down. I just quit letting it measure my heart rate and we reconciled the sitution. Congrats on your 5K. I ran my first earlier this month.

    i hate when that happens, im the same with running!
    im sure its perfectly ok to stop and restart, i see runners stopping to open gates, cross the road etc, but in my head if i dont do it all in one go it doesnt count, especially if i was aiming for a certain time / distance!!
