Well, I've got through runs 1 & 2, but I'm sure the music is different and I hate it!! I'm doing it with the help of Laura, is there any way of changing the music at all or am I gonna have to grin and bear it till I graduate? Trouble is I keep putting it off cos I didn't enjoy the last two!! I got stitch for the first time on run 2 as well as really aching legs, I usually focus on the music to get me through, but was focusing on the discomfort instead because the music wasn't working for me. Any ideas guys?? Nothing too technical!!!!!

I agree with you, I experienced the same in my wk7R1.
Hope your runs have been more enjoyable with your own music now, I've started to enjoy it again thank goodness. I couldn't have put up with that music any more!!

Why not listen to your own music? I hated the music on the podcast so much better with Laura and with music I like!
Have you tried the app, Laura is now one of the coaches. It plays through your own music, radio, podcast whatever you want to listen to. 🏃♀️

Download the new OneYou C25k App and select Laura. Then set your own musin running and the App. Laura will intersperse your own music . Enjoy.

It won't necessarily work, but you could try altering your perspective on the soundtrack and see it as 'for running' rather than 'music' and your own choice of music as a carrot for graduation. There could be a time when it is only not wanting to hear "You and Julie" an extra time that makes the difference between persevering with a run and not... motivation comes in many forms.
Believe me GoogleMe, if I'd had to listen to that music again, I wouldn't have gone running!!! I've changed the App as others suggested and have my own music to run to playlist......so much better. xx

I understand your pain. I ran with the C25K podcast and much as I loved Laura, the music drove me around the bend. I ended up binning Laura in week five and downloading another C25K that had the same timing (except for one week, I don't remember which) and let me listen to my own music. It's the Active network app (mfam runs before she gets lynched by Laura music fans).
