Hi all has your run ever gone wrong,

eg. “Right let’s walk for two mins”

Then 30 seconds later it says “Right off we go for five mins”

Totally threw me and today. Y husband said it did similar to him???

Yes on week 1, I hadn’t closed the screen on my phone which was bouncing about in my pocket. The podcast had paused itself, that last 1 minute run almost put me off the whole program. Tomorrow I attempt the final run of week 5 and am starting to love running.

Keep going and good luck to you both.

Haha funny but my phone was closed in its case in my pocket.

Very confusing

I have clicked on a podcast - week and number only to find halfway through the run it stopped because I didn’t let it fully download before leaving. It wouldn’t work on 4g because I must have had podcasts switched off on mobile data settings! Had to make up it up as I went along😄

Yes it happened to me twice while doing Cto5K...really throws you!

However these glitches are really just challenges to help us become mentally stronger & problem solve as we run 🤣

Are you using the podcasts or the app?

I didn't have any issues with the app already from early on, it crashed but that was only because there was another app creating issues. After that I made sure I closed all apps before starting music and finally c25k app. Never had another issue

Are you using the one you app? That seems to be the best judging from what others have said on here. Plus you can play music simultaneously and it’ll automatically turn down the volume when the instructions come on 👍🏽
