Just an idea taken from the earlier post about voice apps, I don't use them but I might do if it were a comedian or someone other than Johnson or an athlete - it got me thinking who would I find an interesting voice for running app voice companion so far I thought of and read - the list could go on for ages?...

Mr T from the A Team

Jo Brand,

John Cleese

Morgan Freeman (shawshank for slow runs )

Jack Dee for even slower runs

Paul O Grady?

I found Sarah millican to be just what I needed.....I ran my second 30 minute run today with her. She’s been with me the entire way, called me flower, pet, told me I’m ace, and really made the runs/staggers something special

Give her a try

I dont know who she is but she seems popular, I think Brian Blessed would be my choice so far!

Brian Blessed!!!

Matt Berry
