Laura has given up on me

I'm on week 6 and Laura has stopped talking to me. She froze on a run and I just kept running. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the app but it hasn't helped. I need her encouragement and instruction, not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

What device are you running as that may help people give advice?

Laura never conked out o me completly but we did have soime run-ins!

Have you tried uninstalling, switching off and on again, and then reinstalling? That has helped with issues on my iphone before...

Also she's not given up on you - you're obviousuy working so hard - and doing so great - that you've worn her out!! :p)

Good luck and hope you get it sorted!

Haha thanks. I'm sure that's the reason ;)

I have it on my iPhone.

Have you tried the podcasts in a music app instead. I've never had her fail me yet. (Week 6 run 3 complete - yeah!)

I just have the app on my phone that unlocked all when I registered. Week 6 run one completed though so keeping at it :)

Every day there are stories like yours of the app freezing. If you download the podcasts from nhs.uk/Livewell/c25k/Pages/... they behave just as any other music track with no problems at all.

Enjoy!

My phone would't even download the app! I just use the podcasts on a cheapy mp3 player. The music on its not bad, fairly generic, but the tempo changes for walking/running which is quite good.
