I chose Michael Johnson, partly because he has a voice like pure silk and seemed reassuring...but also cos he was a good runner, something in my head resented being told what to do by Sarah Millican!

I know, I think she might get on my nerves slightly but i'm starting this programme again so I need a voice I like
I dont mind her in a comedic sense, but i would be running along thinking..."Your no runner, you cant tell me what to do!"

Ha ha I know what u mean. I might try them all tho as it says u can change it whenever u like
I tried Jo Whiley, but ended up just sticking with MJ - he is one smooth dude!
Sarah was my coach - listening to people talk about the other coaches I did question having Sarah after a while but stuck with her. No problem being told by a non runner what to do as I WAS also a non runner.
BUT - I have wondered whether the Laura actual podcasts would have been better - setting a kind of pace through the music - don't know as only tried with the Stepping Stones.
Me too Mr Smooth every time - mainly because I felt he had huge credibility as an Olympic runner, and I wasn't sure I'd stay the course with Sarah even though she's very funny and friendly

I chose Michael Johnson for the same reason.

I chose Sarah Millican as I find her funny and like her accent! I was half expecting her to tell a few jokes but she didn’t!! I felt a bit emotional going out this am, first run week 9!
Good luck with your runs! 😀🏃♀️
aww thanks, I am a bit nervous about starting again but going back to this as gym is costing money every month and I don't go!
Wish they had a few other voices, for instance Mr T from the A Team. Or Gordon Ramsey.
Michael Johnson, voice like molasses, sexy and smooth, laid back but encouraging.

this sounds perfect !
I only ever tried him because I liked the look of him, then heard his voice and liked that.

Jo Whiley.
I chose her because I have listened to her for years on the radio/TV and know that she is easy on the ear. I find Sarah Millican a bit irritating to be honest.
Since starting I appreciate the fact that she has been through this and knows what it is like...I feel like she is really there with me.
If only ha! Not sure she would enjoy jogging backwards and forwards over Welsh border on wet paths, dodging marauding cattle, sheep muck and pheasants suddenly erupting into sky from the hedge beside me ( sends the old heart rate up a bit!).
Joys of country life.
Sanjeev is just brilliant, wee bit funny
And when he says I did good... I believe him! I did start with Sarah and she was a lovely but, sounded a bit too like my Mum in that her praise sounded as in “well you would say that your my mum😂” so didn’t count quite as much.
Micheal I could not help thinking he cant really mean it ...running for just 20 mins ..surely he’d just be pitying me 😝
LOL I guess even Michael had to start somewhere 😂

I guess so but I think he probably doesn’t remember 😂
LOLOL!!!

I chose Sarah Millicam and she’s great 👍😁
Laura. Laura. Laura. The original and best I have just gone back to her for intervals and it is like coming home... Her music is weird yes but I will always be grateful to her for getting me through the programme

Sarah's like a mother hen, she's great. Couldn't have got through it without her! Love her accent, makes me smile, which is essential when things are tough!

Laura.... just had to be for me Or my daughter....who has always, and continues to encourage me to do anything and everything...she thinks I am awesome... and I love her !

I’ve been with Sarah and have 2 runs left to graduate. In the beginning I was gutted she wasn’t cracking jokes but she’s got me here today so am grateful although, I’m tempted to use Michael or Jo for the last 2 runs just to spice things up .

Jo Whiley for me!

I started with Jo, then tried Michael and Sarah but couldn’t gel with their accents. Then I fell in love with Sanjeev as I’ve got a thing for a nice Scottish accent and he’s worked his magic on me since week 4 now.
I had Jo . Nice and calm and relaxed 😎

I went with Sarah Millican, I love that NE accent! I'm just a bit disappointed she doesn't refer to me as "Pet".
