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.

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

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

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

Apart from all of her music.

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!

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.

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!

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 😁
