The music. Omg does it suck.

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.

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?

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 .

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

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?

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.

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. :(

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.

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...

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.
