Which?

5 Replies

Which piece of equipment is best to download C25K on. I need to be able to see and easily adjust to what track I am hearing as at the moment I have an iPod shuffle and it is driving me crazy. Any advise would be helpful before I loose all my hair.

What does your iPod do that makes you lose your hair? Any equipment where you can press play would do. Then you only need to listen to Laura's instructions. No need to buy anything new, I would say.

Thank you viaM for your prompt reply.

That's my problem you have to listen to Laura to find you are on the wrong track. It can get very frustrating even though Laura is lovely I just want to start running. I thought I might treat myself to a new one with a window and hopefully that would tell me which week/run I was on without having to spend time listening to it to discover I am on the wrong week/run.

You are welcome!

Have you got a smartphone, by any chance? If yes, you could use the C25K app.

Apple: itunes.apple.com/gb/app/cha...

Android: play.google.com/store/apps/...

If not, then just create a calendar with your runs and tracks so that you can be in control! :-)

Hello Beryl

I have an iPod classic which I found good for the podcasts, and haven't lost all my hair yet 😁 only thing is, they don't have Bluetooth for wireless headphones, a transmitter would be needed for that which plugs into the bottom..

Thank you ViaM and davelinks for your help. I am also upgrading my phone so I will get a smart phone and hopefully that will cure my problem. Happy safe running to you both.
