Does c25k app have different speeds when listening? I've noticed mine was on 1.5 x, just finished week 4 and realised.

Finishing rather quickly, do I go back and repeat?

Now lets think about this... Does this mean that you are going to end up running 5k in 20mins or that after 20 mins of thrash metal you have hardly warmed up? I think the speed thing must be peculiar to your method of playing the podcast. After all a five minute warm up should last..... let me see now...about five minutes, I would estimate. If you finished week 4 in 2.7 weeks then the problem lies in your personal universal velocity, otherwise your MP3 player needs adjusting. Excuse me, I've been in a silly mood all day.

Try the next run and if you cope with it, then fine, carry on.

If you're using an idevice then look at top left corner of podcast app - make sure it's not on 1.5x ! Other devices, no idea!

Yeah - mine was playing slowly on my last run and I couldn't figure out why until last night I realised it was on 0.5x! Silly me, I didn't even realise my ipod had the capability to change the speed. Make sure it's on 1x!
