I'm finding Jo Whiley quite inspirational. It feels like she can really identify with the journey to become a runner. Just curious who other people choose as their trainer?

I have Michael Johnson. Mainly because he is an athlete, he has medals and I guess he would know what he was talking about. Even if they do all read from a script. Felt like he would be the best one to keep me going when I was struggling.

It was Mr Smooth aka MJ for me too. For exactly the same reason as MrsT82.

I'm a Jo Whiley girl, like her voice from the radio & I agree her journey to bring a runner makes you feel she understands what you're going through! Altho on my last run w9r1 I didn't seem to hear that often and not sure what I'm going to do come graduation when there's she's not there telling me you've done 5mins, 10mins, only 60secs to go etc! 😪

Mr Smooth all the way for me - those reassuring , calming , sexy tones push me on. Also like you others I feel as an athlete he has had incredible trainers himself so the calm keep going attitude feels right for me

Sarah for me...her voice makes me smile even though I am pretty sure there is no way she does know how I felt at 17 minutes 😊🤣🤣
