I do not have google play and my MP3 player does not sync with iTunes. How do I download these podcasts to my little device? Thank you.

As far as I know both the servers you name allow you to download the podcasts in mp3 format, iTunes certainly does. If you find the files on your computer then they should sync to your mp3 player in the usual way.

If you follow the link in the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5... it takes you to a page within which you can select and download each of the podcasts to your computer. From there just transfer them to your device as you would with any other music files.

Once you've downloaded the MP3 files from the website (per IannodaTruffe's link) then you normally just connect the mp3 player to your computer with the USB cable. The MP3 player will appear as another disk drive and then you can drag and drop the mp3 files from your computer onto the music player.

What mp3 player are you using?

It's some generic-- PIWII. Was recommended on some fitness site. I had an ipod which I adored, but those evil people at Apple stopped supporting it. You couldn't get music off iTunes or even from your personal CD anymore. Whatever I had on the ipod--was it. Didn't want to drag my heavy phone on my arm or waist, Wanted something tiny. But I hate this. I'm going to look at something else. But--that's what it is. And they told me no device that isn't Apple will support iTunes. Apparently, they were lying.

That’s strange. I have quite a collection of old Apple iPods - mini, shuffle, touch & they all sync with iTunes. And I can still rip CDs into iTunes and sync the content to the iPods. I’m about to sell the little iPod shuffle on eBay & I planned to sell it with C25K podcasts installed 🏃‍♂️
