Hi, Does anyone know where to download any FREE 5k podcasts?

I like running with the personal trainer but getting a little bored of the nhs music? Thanks in advance. Laura

Hi Laura, not sure about any podcasts but there are lots of free Apps out there, if you have a smart phone and don't mind lugging it along on a run. If you have an android phone, just go to the Play Store, or iTunes if you have an iPhone, and search for "Couch to 5k" or "Running". Hope that helps!

Ok, having given you an answer which was unhelpful to you, I was determined to find you something! I came across this website - don't know if the music is to your taste, and I obviously can't guarantee it would be a safe download, but it looks OK to me. It's a free site, although he does ask for a small donation. Anyway, have a look and see what you think - djsteveboy.com/intervals.html

If you're still doing C25K the music changes every week. I graduated in April and still alternate the three C25K+ podcasts. It's only 30-40 minutes and the music isn't that offensive. The important thing is that you're running to the beat. You can listen to your own music the rest of the time.

I used these. They're free and you can put them on your ipod or mp3 player.
