Laura vs. Sarah Millican

Hello,

May be a silly question but is there any difference between what Laura says on the app and Sarah Millican? I currently have Sarah but was wondering whether Laura provides more tips or motivation?

I should have also said, Laura is also on the podcast, with music. Most people really like Laura. The music however is a bit like Marmite.... love it or hate it. Personally, I love Marmite 😀

Not sure TallulahTot, as I’m with MJ! But....now there a thought? MJ should be careful, as I have a bit of potential and I can move on! 😉 I like him really and I haven’t tried anyone else to compare him with. ❤️

I used Laura and she’s pretty down to earth. No funny anecdotes but motivational. She knew precisely when I was getting tired - so a mind reader!! She’s also the only who continues past graduation with the C25k+ podcasts. I miss her.....☹️

Laura has done the program and is a c25k Graduate, Ripcurlrana, actually it was her idea to do the podcasts, so we have much to thank her for..

Some of us worship her..😉xx

She’s fab! That’s why I chose her as she’s a ‘norm’. Thank you Laura...🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I think I might pop and visit her next week with her awful podcast music in tow! 😂

I've not been exhaustive (lol) but I think they all have the same basic script but can throw in their individual colour, "pet". Apart from Michael, who could drain any colour from anything. I stuck with Sanjeev until W6R3 (i.e. from the start of the continuous runs) and then dropped the app altogether. Rebel With a Cause, me :-)

Isn’t that rebel without a clue?!? Sorry - I couldn’t resist. 😂

I started with Sarah, but moved on to Laura. Not sure if there’s much difference but I just preferred Laura. 🙂

I’ve got Laura. Even tho I mutter things under my breath about her - I do like her. Think they r all the same - it’s just a script they’ve followed- as far as I’m aware anyway! I’m sure they’ll all be queuing up on here to correct me tho! 🙄

I started with Sarah cos I love her warmth & humour then I switched to Laura as a new start after an injury pause. Laura has hypnotised me into running 25 minutes without stopping. She's magic. I love her 😍

I love Jo. Her voice is like chocolate. Keeps me calm and relaxed.

Maybe you have missed the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5... which clearly states that the information given on both podcasts and app is the same.

I’ve stuck with Jo. I love Sarah Millican usually but her voice on the Tesco adverts is like nails down a blackboard for me!
