I am a reluctant keep fitter. But my kids have been encouraging me to try this. Have done first 3 runs secretly. I am 58 and a couple of stone overweight. Amazingly for me I am enjoying it! Just need to work out how to listen to music and get the prompts. Not managed do far. I use Spotify - any tips?

Good morning and well done for starting, i found if i put the music on first and then started the c25k app it was fine, the talking and prompts cut in and the music faded and then the music carried on, good luck

Would agree, music first and then app. Hope it sorts out for you. Happy running love from a fellow gorgeously rounded 58 year old! 👍🏻

Well done! Are you going to keep doing it in secret and only tell them at the end 🤔 whichever way they’ll be so proud of you and quite rightly so!

Well done for starting and glad you're enjoying it!
If you start spotify and then use the split screen function, you will be able to have both running at once.
Well done Polly and keep up the good work👏👏
I’m running without music at the moment so can’t offer any advice but I’m sure this forum will provide you with all the answers you need.
Welcome to C25K 👋

I don’t run with any music, I like to hear what’s around me. The app should kick in and you should hear your instructions. Happy running 🏃♀️
