Repeating w9r3

I graduated on Monday. But today I repeated w9r3 as I like the idea of someone talking to me as I run, it pushes me to carry on. By repeating w9r3 over and over does this effect anything on the app? I need to find another app where you get the same encouragement as couch25k gives you.

I'm not sure about the app as I use the podcasts so I don't have to worry about a song coming on I don't want to listen to at that time.

I used the podcast for W9 repeatedly post graduation for my consolidation runs for the very reason you mentioned, I liked the structure and the instruction the voice gave me.

Give it a try, I don't think it's limited to one play per run in case you need to repeat any runs.

Thanks for advice. I’ve downloaded podcasts and found the Audiofuel 5k app which I’ve downloaded and going to see how I get on with that tomorrow

In preparation for my eventual (hopeful?) graduation I have downloaded a 5K to 10K app. Not tried it yet though

Thanks Moz, what app is it?

It’s simply called 5K To 10K; heats about it on this forum and found it on the App Store :-)

I took Jo Whiley out with me at least 3 times after I graduated but then I decided I’d just like to listen to my own music or a podcast. Yes I could run 30 minutes on my own . I could stop and take a photo and I could try different routes and a few slopes to make things interesting.

You can do anything you like because you are a runner

Just make sure you consolidate that for 3 weeks
