Week 8 and Podcast stopped working

Week 8 run 1 today and it was hard work- not helped by the podcast stopping after 5 mins. Couldnt get it to start and ended up loading week 6 run 3 instead. (Was running and didn't want to stop to find the right one). This one stopped 3 or 4 times but restated after 10 secs or so. Is it my phone or the podcast?

Could have been the podcast app, maybe the phone, difficult to tell really. What’s great is that you didn’t stop, you kept going, and you’re 5 runs from that podium.

I don't about issues with the downloaded Podcasts as they play through your Phones media / music player.

The App however is very hit and miss, I lost count of the amount of times it crashed on me during my C25K journey, I don't think it worked properly for nearly all my final runs, I ended up using a stopwatch and running the Runkeeper App on my phone just to make sure I was completing the required times.

Well done for not giving up, you'll soon be on that podium.
