Download help

Hi

I am new to this, and I am trying to load the Couch to 5k onto my Sony MP3 player. It is already on my phone, but I prefer my mp3 player, can someone help me please?

To load onto an mp3 player you need the podcasts which can be downloaded from the link to ITunes on this page nhs.uk/livewell/c25k/Pages/...

The podcasts will not track your progress as the app does, but will give you all the same information.

Great thank you. If it doesn't track then will have to use my phone.

The podcasts are old school...........what us old timers used, prehistory......

The podcasts don't rely on signal so won't drop-out mid run as the phone app seems to. You can record your runs for your own benefit on Strava or Mapmyrun on your phone if you want stats, but no need until you are well into the program.

I have my Mp3 in an armband and my phone safely stashed in a running belt.

Good luck, it works, its fun, and you will become a runner.😊

Thanks Jan, that is really helpful, I'll load Strava on my phone.

1st one under my belt, pleased with myself for finally doing something.

Regards

Well done, follow the plan, taking your rest day/s, maybe do some gentle stretching after your warm down walk and enjoy the success and confidence this plan builds.😊...
