Yes you start your music first - or I do with my c25k app then start the app - your voice coach talks over the music X

So it’s integrated into the app or do I need to add it? Sorry for the dumb question but new to it

The app itself is just the coach speaking. You should either transfer music you like to your phone or download some. Create a playlist or stream from a music app like deezer or spotify (beware data costs, if you're a premium account download to play offline).

Start your music via any sort of player on your phone, then start the app and go! As Jancanrun says the app will speak over your music.

The podcast, as mentioned has music in it but that's seperate to the app. Its more fun to run to your own beats. You'd still have to download the podcasts and run those so you may as well run your fave tunes.

If you have the app you can play your own music on your phone at the same time via Spotify, I Tunes or whatever and then your coach just interrupts and the music dims - well it does on my iPhone.. I assume androids etc work in same way.
