Wheres the old podcasts gone ?

7 years ago•5 Replies

Its my first post on here. Im enjoying the plan and have recommended it to my better half she goes to the gym a lot and wanted to do it on the treadmill along with her other classes. She could only download the podcasts with Jo Whiley in and when searching couldnt find mine which has Laura on it. Its not the voice thats the issue its the fact that the new podcasts dont appear to have music ( I assume you have to go through the palaver of downloading your own). Seems a step back to me , the first one has it all done for you !

I think Laura is still there as I just downloaded them again on my iphone, from the podcast store. It's NHS Couch to 5K

The new app (as opposed to podcasts) is designed to run alongside your music on your phone. Therefore you are able to listen to whatever music you wish, and the "coach" will cut in at the appropriate minute.

That sai, you could also listen to an audio book , or like I did just run in silence

Never did the old podcasts myself, but I hear the music wasn't to everyones tastes.

The original ones are here by the way: nhs.uk/Livewell/c25k/Pages/...

Yes, I believe the NHS podcast has the music etc. I installed the One You Couch to 5K app from the app store. I prefer that as you can listen to your own music. I created a running playlist of upbeat tracks to help push me along!
