Ah, it was great... they did an early audio montage at the beginning of the programme and there was a little snippet of music that made me feel all weird and emotional... and I realised it was from the podcasts and that must mean they were doing the NHS C25K. Would be nice to think Shari and the other women were here somewhere.

(Pity they went for Bikram yoga I thought rather than something more accessible and mainstream)

I had the same tingle when I heard Laura’s weird music and when she told me to give myself a pat on the back, I could’ve cried!!!!

It's interesting isn't it! I didn't know she was in charge of it, rather than just being the voice :)

Seems like it was Laura who developed the podcasts doesn't it. We owe her a lot.🌟

Yep heard it... when I realized it was her I shouted to my family to come and listen.... they were somewhat bemused as I tried to explain "that's the lady that's changed my life".....!

in reply to Kingfisherk26

I wonder if Laura can ever truly understand what she did for us....and how we feel she’s our friend🏃🏾‍♀️

Thanks Helen for the head’s up, just listened to it on iPlayer radio.

1.1 million downloads of the programme in the past year, terrific!

Mind you, you can download apps while lying on the couch....I wonder if there is any research about take up rates, completion and what percent are running a year on.
