Strange!

I have found the C25K+ Stamina podcast quite useful in keeping me going in my  Parkrun quest for a time starting with  3 rather than a 4. I have to get it started straight after pressing the stopwatch button on my Tomtom - I usually fail with one of them but yesterday it was the podcast itself that was the problem. It ran fast, rather like a 33 rpm record (if you remember them) set to play at 45 rpm. So Laura's pacing - 1,2,3,4 - was more than a little beyond my ability to keep up (and she sounded a bit frantic too). The outcome was not good at 41+ min.

I have no idea why this happened. Has anyone else come across  this phenomenon with any podcast?

When you open the podcast look at the screen should see a couple of figures indicating the speed it's playing. X1 being normal speed, I would suggest in your hurry to get it playing you have accidently pressed the screen and changed the playing speed to X1.5.

You are of course correct. I wasn't aware of the feature but I am now and I shall add it to the checks I make before the panic pressing of buttons when the run start is signalled.

Not had any issues, but maybe as BObP says... you pressed something!

Odd. Haven't experienced anything like that.
