Do all the coaches say different things?

I’ve been using the app and have my graduation run tomorrow.

Reading the posts tonight it’s occurred to me.... do the different coaches have different “scripts”

Why do you like yours? I’ve only ever listened to Laura though....

Should I switch for tomorrow?

I was literally just wondering the same thing. I have Michael, I just wish he would talk more actually!

I think the script is pretty much the same. I started with Sarah Millican but the voice/tone wasn’t right for me - switched to Michael Johnson and liked being ‘under the watchful eye’ of a pro - straightforward instruction but kind - I felt much more like I wanted to do as coach told me and not give in so he would be proud of me! 😂 enjoy your graduation run

They all read the same script so yes they all say the same thing. I started on the podcasts and got used to Laura so I stuck with her when I switched to the app. I’m sticking with Laura as she’s been with me all the way. I find myself talking back to her sometimes - ‘Thanks Laura I’m proud of me too’ 😂😂

I listened to all of them apart from Jo Whiley as I don't like her voice! I started with Sarah Millican but found her voice too quiet, for some reason with the other two men, my music wouldn't quiet when they were talking so in the end I stuck with good old Laura.

I used to answer her back too!

I was disappointed that they didn't say different things - I expected Sarah to be more jokey etc and I wished there was more talking too, but I can't fault the app.

Yeah it would have been good for the personality to come through

They say the same thing, but I preferred Sarah Millican.

I felt that she really understood what an achievement it was 🤣
