Who’s your trainer?

[Runners]

Just a fun question, does anyone use a celebrity voice for their trainer and if so, who do you use? I use Sarah Millican, it feels like a mate is there with me 🙂

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

I used Sarah (that sounds wrong) as although they’re just voices in an app, she wasn’t as intimidating as MJ to run with

[Buddy34 Graduate]

I have ran with Laura since day 1 , she's been in my ear every step of the way

[Fingersx Graduate]

I used Sarah to begin with but on w2 swapped to MJ & was pleased I did as he gives some really good running tips along the way

I absolutely adore jo whiley who wasn’t my first choice. But she’s so sweet. Does anyone else find that sometimes the trainer isn’t available?

[Runners Graduate in reply to woolly01]

I’ve never had Sarah unavailable myself

[Buddy34 Graduate in reply to woolly01]

Yes when your original trainer isn't available pick another then go back and pick your original trainer it seems to work

[ReggieBear in reply to woolly01]

I've occassionally found that Jo Whiley hasn't been available. I then use MJ - the American athlete chappy. Couldn't use Sarah - I find her voice quite whiney (sorry x)

Tried Michael and Jo and Sarah and finally decided to stick with Laura — mostly because she’s a Couch to 5K grad herself!

[FVRF Graduate]

Me too!

[SeeJillRun Graduate]

I have Jo Whiley, she’s got such a relaxing voice 😊

[Agentmay Graduate]

I've got Sarah, had her since w1 and not tried any of the others.

[Letties Graduate]

Jo whiley... it blends nicely with the radio I'm playing..

[ButtercupKid Graduate]

Sanjeev - he’s funny, he’s Scottish, and he also suffers from periodic depression. So glad he was one of the choices.

[DiverIzzie Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Me too - I keep thinking Still Game and I’m sure there’s at least one episode just waiting to be scripted around jack, victor and winston complete with false leg.... I make up the storyline in my head when I start to flag 😀

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to DiverIzzie]

Hate to confess it, but I’ve never watched Still Game ! I just wanted someone who wouldn’t sound too seriously sporty 😄

[Cfc55 Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

I use him too, must be a Scottish thing 😂!

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Cfc55]

We don’t even have a TV so I didn’t know what he’d sound like. I just read the descriptions and thought he sounded the least scary. Got such a surprise when he started talking 😂

[Fitgirltobe]

I use Sarah coz I think she is really funny but in this I think it's abit flat my sister used the dj one can't remember her name Lisa?? And says because she's actually ran this, she gets it and chats more so gonna try her tomorrow

[Fitgirltobe in reply to Fitgirltobe]

No not lisa

[Runners Graduate in reply to Fitgirltobe]

Is that Jo Whiley?

[Fitgirltobe in reply to Runners]

Lol yes the no is jo bloody autocorrect

[Runners Graduate in reply to Fitgirltobe]

😂

[Absrhia Graduate]

Didn’t like Sarah which was disappointing as I thought I really would. I like Laura

[Runners Graduate]

Might give Jo a go 🙂

[Runningshrimp]

Jo Whiley all the way. I decided to try Laura for a change after a few weeks. I found her quite robotic and have stuck with Jo since.

[Runners Graduate]

I’ve gone back to Sarah 😂 I think I need someone who sounds a bit silly 🙂

Always listened to Michael as he's the one who knows best about being a real athlete. He's the one with experience, the one with the gold medals 🥇🥇🥇🥇

[Running_Giraffe Graduate]

I'm using Sarah but I was wondering if they all say the same thing 🤔
