Don't know what's going on with Laura but run 3 week 6 tonight - I timed myself & I ran 25 mins but Laura told me I was 5 mins into my run!!!! This happened on Tuesday - I reckon I ran about 45 mins trying to sort out the podcast!!!! Anyone else had this??

Yes ! I had a problem with Week 7 Run 1 pausing, then Laura saying Welcome to Week 5 " I had to do that run just relying on my watch. What a palaver, it is very frustrating when you just want to get out there and run. Not sure what causes it, maybe a gremlin somewhere in the podcasts, but I hope you manage to sort it out for your next run :-) xxx

Yes I had the same problem too - Laura started pausing during the first 20min run in week 5 and after a couple more occasions I gave up on her and just programmed the intervals into Runkeeper instead.

I've had the same problem too, she stops for a long rest while I carry on regardless. Discovered recently it happens whenever I adjust the wires for my ear buds. Turns out I'm pushing a button on the wire to pause the music without even realising that function was there! I thought it was a microphone for using hands free telephone. (Which clearly I've never used!).

My podcasts were all fine. Maybe there was an error during the download? One option might be to erase all of the podcasts and then download them again?

I have mine on my phone, and found I got a pause everytime a message came in. Now I put it in flight mode while I'm running.

I have the app on my phone and this kept happening to me. What I found was that if I left the screen on while running, it worked fine but if I turn screen off Laura would pause. Hope this helps x

Laura drives me potty as well, but got into longer runs now so Im going to rely on my watch and music, it distracts me when she messes

Yes ! It all started so well but in W5 it all went pear shaped. I followed the directions at the beginning of each podcast then just had my own music and Laura's words of encouragement for the walk down at the end.
