I'm not using Laura for my C25K as she kept crashing my phone, so I'm the C25K Trainer free app by Zen Labs. I'd pretty much assumed that they'd all be much the same, but I've just spotted that this app only runs for 8 weeks instead of 9.
Is there a written guide to the intervals with Laura so I can see where the differences are?
I'm not too bothered (aside from knowing when to claim my graduation badge), but it would interesting to know.

That is probably the same one I used! 8 weeks and you run for 35 minutes at the end?
I liked it personally. And have to say in my case it did work a miracle when it got me through
Far fewer instructions and so forth than the NHS one and hardly any word from Laura - but the core is the same, you build up stamina and focus on speed/distance later
