Short distance runaround

My wife and I just completed week 5 run 3 with Michael Johnson as our 'coach'. After 5 minutes of running Michael told us that we were half way through today's 20 minute run although I knew we still had 15 more minutes to go. By the time he had said we had completed our 5 minute warm down, we had actually completed our 20 minute run. I wonder if anyone else has noticed this and whether this is just with Michael.

We have both completed the programme before when only Laura was available.

Perhaps there is a small timing error on your app, I ran with Laura and there were no problems at all., well done to both you and your wife for completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run with C25K. Onwards and upwards to week 6 run 1 but be careful about that run as it catches out some people with the interval walks 🚶 and runs 🏃

I noticed that on my Week 3 runs with Jo Whiley that the halfway bell goes off a good minute after it’s supposed to. Hoping it’s just a glitch on Week 3 🤞
