The music. Omg does it suck.

[Nickbarr]

Oh my goodness. Could the music get much worse? I don't mind when it's just instrumental, that's alright, but when the awful quality hip hop starts it's just dire. Ok, so at least I am distracted from the run by wanting to tear my ears off, but seriously, it's sooooo bad. I just hope week 6 music is better.... not getting my hopes up though.

[OldNed Graduate]

It's the running wot counts!

[Nickbarr Graduate]

I know.

[hammondsgc Graduate]

I think it may be Week 6 that has a song with the particularly terrible phrase of a "...chemistry collision". It annoyed me so much it actually helped me keep on running! I wonder if there is some subtle psychology at work here?

Get the new app if you have a smart phone , you can make your own playlists & listen to Laura same as podcast

[hammondsgc Graduate in reply to Rockette]

Hi Rockette, do you have the link to the new app?

[Nickbarr Graduate in reply to Rockette]

ooh, that sounds good. Android?

[Rockette in reply to Nickbarr]

I'm not right up on this kind of stuff , but I have I phone , & went into the apple App Store & downloaded it ( uploaded) whatever they call it & that's it , it's there . Used it last night for first time and it worked a treat . Don't know how u would go about getting it on other devices , but sure someone on here will know .

[Nickbarr Graduate in reply to Rockette]

I reckon I just have to wait. For now I'll put up it!

[Rockette in reply to Nickbarr]

Don't know about that nickbarr , not right up on that sort a stuff .

[Jana83 Graduate]

You still have the joys of "Me and Julie" to look forward to - good luck with that!

[Hezzabelle Graduate in reply to Jana83]

After hearing so much on here about Julie, I was quite looking forward to it.

Now I'm glad week 8 is over.

Please tell me that the music does change in week 9?

[tygfuz Graduate in reply to Hezzabelle]

The dont have to listen to the music in week 9. If you have your own music use that. Then time your run to do 30mins.

[Hezzabelle Graduate]

Sorry to break it to you but a lot of the music in week 6 is stuff you've already heard in the weeks before.

[Nickbarr Graduate in reply to Hezzabelle]

I expected that. It's been awful all along. The worst was the Jamie T wannabes in week 4. I mean, Jamie T is bad enough, but a poor impression is even worse.

[ReyC Graduate]

I have just done week 6 and they just recycle the same songs - i am really getting sick of them too. need to look into this app...

[Hennith Graduate]

I don't use a smartphone, so can't try the new app sadly. I did have to resort to using my own music for the long runs in weeks 5 and 6 though. I only got half way through W5R3 using the podcast, but found it SO much easier when I tried again with my own playlist.
