So so chuffed I've completed week 1. I had a message from c25k ding up on my phone, but i had a call come in & the message disappeared.... Any ideas where I can find it? Looking forward to week 2.... Bit concerned about my breathing as I just breath in & out of my mouth when I run... Is that normal?

Well done for getting Week 1 out of the way.

I breathe in and out of my mouth as well. It just seems natural. If it's cold I tend to get a runny nose, so there is no way I am going to get enough air in that way!

Don't worry too much about technique, there is loads of advice about the rights and wrongs, but at the end of the day, just run in a way that is comfy for you. The only thing to be sure you stick to are the rest days, and do some post-run stretches.

Keep it up

Same thing happened to me, are you using the app instead of the podcasts? I have no idea what it said!

My app wont load since i updated my phone operating system, so ihad to go back to the podcasts. Ilike the week 2 music better than week 1' so that helps!

You are using the app (with the yellow background). I think that is somehow supposed to take you to your own music, but i have heard it doesnt work. I dont use it, because i am weird, and have hearing issues, and dont collect music or play music as a constant background to my day. I am fine with one earplug, just Laura's voice and being able to hear what is happening around me. But, my app isnt working.

The podcasts have music built in. Which a lot of people dont like, because it is a bit generic maybe? I am not a good judge! I dont mind it, stylewise, but would rather not have it. Need to sort why the app isnt loading properly for me anymore.

Well done on completing week one. Don't worry about the breathing, I just do what comes naturally and find it usually sorts itself out. Good luck with week 2. Best wishes.
