I have downloaded Spotify, that way you can listen to music while running or doing C25K. If it's C25K the music will fade when your coach speaks.

I have spotify, which I pay for. You can use the free version if you don't mind the adverts, and streaming rather than downloading.

BBC sounds has some music playlists for free. If you just run their app together with the c25k app the music will fade when there are instructions and then come back in again.

I use Amazon Music the free with Prime version, not the unlimited one. It still provides enough for me.

Welcome to the forum.

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

and is full of tips.

You can play either streamed music through another app or your own collection if stored on your device. The C25k app does not play music by itself.

Enjoy your journey.

Hi, I use Apple Music, but if you have the bbc sounds app, I’m sure your can listen to your fave radio station live, as you run! I might try that, tomorrow! Good luck, stay safe!

Yes use your own music stored on the phone, the couch25k app will pause or mute it when your trainer speaks like when the phone rings, or you can download a podcast version of each running session which has background music on it

Just play music through any app (your own downloaded music, or Spotify or other options) and the start the C25k app. It silenced the music when your coach speaks and then comes back on. No integration needed.
