I’m at a loss with the couch 2 5 K podcast. First problems with the app So reverted to the trusty podcast for week four run 2. When all of a sudden as it asked me to run it went at double speed. However much I closed and restarted it just wouldn’t go back to normal. 😂😂😂😂 would have made the run faster but keeping to plan just used the phone stopwatch and Spotify 😀😀😀😀 really rubbish start couldn’t get into any kind of rhythm but the second 3 min and 5 min a blast. Why does it take so long to warm up ?

The podcast is just an mp3 file, like any music file. Either it is corrupt, in which case it would be a good idea to download it again. The other possibility is that your device malfunctioned.

It takes so long to warm up because of the toxic ten healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Thank you. I love the second half of my run so it’s reassuring to know that the first 5 min is meant to feel like that as I was considering staying at week four for a bit longer. Keeping it slow and steady and looking forward to the longer runs and nice to know I don’t always need podcast Laura’s encouragement.

It's a shame you're having problems with the app/ podcasts. But you're still running. Well done you 😊
