It’s the end for me and Sarah!

W5R1 Just dome this. Run Ok but Sarah is now sidelined. Her cheery ‘you’ve only another sixty seconds’ nearly did for me.

Thanks Sarah but it’s back to Jo I think.

Try mr smooth ( Micheal Johnson ) lovely smooth voice x

[revrock Graduate in reply to Shelby1973]

May save him for W6 and 7 but yes I need someone smooth to calm my heaving chest.

[mrrun Graduate in reply to revrock]

I'd say the best would be to simply go even slower than your regular slow. That always does it

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to revrock]

If heaving then going too fast!! 🐌🐌 slow down.

I can’t give up on Sarah ... she has got me this far.

[siobhp Graduate]

Have you tried Laura on the podcast? She manages to be encouraging without driving me crazy (apart from some of her music!)

[damienair Graduate in reply to siobhp]

Apart from all of her music.

[siobhp Graduate in reply to damienair]

I'm sure there must be one that's ok? Although now I come to think of it I can't think of one offhand....not that I have recognised any of them in 8 weeks so far!

[damienair Graduate in reply to siobhp]

I ran listening to Laura for about 2 or 3 weeks. Just hated the music. I downloaded a C25K App which was the exact same 9 week plan and listened to my own music. I remember listening to Rage Against the Machine as a welcome alternative to the tripe Laura listens to. 🤗

I only managed one run with Sarah. I switched to Mr Smooth and never looked back.

[rolysmate Graduate]

Glad I didn't use the podcasts and just stuck to my stop watch

W5R1 for me today with Laura 😊 try the podcast Laura is superb but her music 😂🙉 you pray the whole route that your time is up!

[GingerBohemian Graduate]

Move to Michael Johnson!!!

[Bazza1234 Graduate]

I find it impossible to run with music - unless the beat of the music coincides with the cadence of my feet ( which is around 180 BPM but does vary with pace ) . Some so-called running music has a beat of only 120 BPM - I walk at a faster BPM than that!! -- and the beat of some music increases and decreases during the course of the song!!! I hate that!!

I’m from “up North” but have to agree that Sarah annoys me even after the “well done that’s 5 mins......” -think I too will try out a new voice!

[Melons1965 Graduate]

Having tried all the voices, I have returned to Sarah. Michael Johnson drove me crazy 😜

I swap between Jo and Sarah and they have got me through the past 7 weeks 😁

[Runbabyrun1 Graduate]

I flicked thru them all, decided on Laura but changed to Jo & we've stuck 2gether thru tough times & ave reached WK7R2 👍
