Just signed up

I've just signed up to the c25k community even though I've just completed w5r2.

I'm really enjoying the program, and have to say it's going much better than I anticipated. The thing is - the music is getting on my nerves. It's awful. Anyone else hate it, and is anyone already compiling their own running soundtrack?

Welcome. The music is terrible but it's a rite of passage around here. Just wait until you meet Julie around week 8 or so.

Well done! I didn't let the music bother me, just got on with the programme, it's not for long!😊

I use the app and play my own music through it.

Once you get on to week 7 (or Week 6, run 3, if you want to be pedantic) it's running alll the way, you can then dump the podcasts and use some other method of timing, I use Shealth app on my galaxy phone.

I believe the music of the C25K podcasts is carefully selected to build psychological endurance; if you can resist for the whole 9 weeks, then you're mentally ready to run an ultra-marathon. 😆

By the way, if you are on W5 you haven't heard the worst of it yet... 😝

I heard them playing Laura's music while our British Astronaut was on the treadmill in space! Guess he's a graduate 😀
