Which Coach to chose?

OK probably not a serious issue for most but I had Jo on week 1 (as I've always enjoyed listening to her) but found her underwhealming, I was expecting more chat I think. Switched to Laura week 2 & she's fine.

I finish week 4 tomorrow & looking at the site it seems the coaches all have different styles & motivation so wondered if I should look at the others or stick to Laura now?

Thanks

Stick with Laura, that's fine.

For some reason, every so often my app tells me that my selected coach isn't available, so I've found myself switching between Laura and Jo on a fairly regular basis. I don't really notice much difference in the text they deliver.

😱Jo underwhelming!, how very dare you! she’s great! but I have heard some of the ladies in work have chosen Micheal, one even answers him as she’s running 😂Why not try them all until you find the one you like best it’s a flexible app👍

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

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

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

Enjoy your journey.

Not sure if this helps but I chose Sanjeev. I didn't really know who he was at the time but he looked a kinda laid back guy and guess what, his coaching style completely matched. Calm but supportive and it sounded like he'd gone through the programme himself which helped (if I'm wrong, don't correct me. Ignorance is bliss haha 😂)
