Can you recommend an app?

Ive been running with Laura but am not a fan of her music. Can you recommend other apps that are also c25k?

Hi . Laura is actually a podcast. If you download the app it willbe same programme, different trainer, no music. Use your own music alongside it.

Enjoy

I use the Couch 2 5K 'BBC Inspired' app. You listen to your own music and when the trainer talks your music quietens. It is a 9 week course, with 3 runs a week.

Don't know about other apps.

Hope you find one you like. Good luck!

I went into the app stone, FM radio stns ( loads of them ) and I chose smooth FM ( N. West ) it certainly works for me, cheers.

Ok. I'll look in to it! I think I might need a teenager to sort this 😂

I used an App called Couch to 5K by Active. It is one of the first ones which pops up in the search for C25K on iOS. I liked it and listed to my own music as I ran.

Or you could decide that your running sessions on the programme are not your music appreciation time... Being able to choose your own playlist could be the carrot for keeping going to the end of the programme. I know there were certainly times when it was the thought of having to listen to a particular session any more than strictly necessary that made the difference between completing it or not...

Just beware if you are thinking of switching horses that Couch to 5k is a generic concept and there are lots of different presentations, all similar but the structure of the runs and the length of the programme varies a bit.

Am I the only person that liked Laura's music? 🙃
