Did the first run last night. Nearly killed me but feel great today!

Does anyone know if there’s a way to get music while using the app?

Good for you, IanMc. I had spotify which is muted everytime the c25k app speaks. If you don't have that, there are some music playlists on BBC sounds that might help.

Good luck

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

You can use any music player alongside the app, whether that is your own mp3s on a card or a streaming service. The music will dip when coaches speak.

Enjoy your journey.

Congratulations on starting C25K with run 1 of week 1, that to many is the hardest run of the whole program, take all the runs slowly, you can repeat any runs or week's if you wish to, I recommend Spotify for music.

Enjoy W1R2 let us all know if your tech advice worked for you and what tunes you played. 🎶 music is such a great motivator.
