Today I decided to wear my farming, which I haven’t used for 3 years.
I was doing what I thought was run 2 of week 7;25 minute run. However, when podcast (nhs version) told me I had finished, Garmin was reading 20 minutes. I wondered if after all this time it was inaccurate. So, came home and replayed the podcast, timed the 25 minute run and sure enough after 20 minutes said run complete. I’m so gutted as got this far thinking I was doing more than I actually am 😢. Has anyone else noticed this?

Your Garmin was wrong. It's very likely it was set to AutoPause or AutoStop.
Think about it ... your podcast is like a running clock, a stopwatch, a ticking clock. If you were listening to it the whole time and it didn't stop, then it ran (and you) for 25 minutes.
Try this next time... take a simple stopwatch or... a WATCH with you
Did you? It’s so annoying! Laura, and I just checked the 20 minute run on week 5, that was also short. Don’t understand it, going to have to up my game to catch up now 🙄
Mine was Laura as well, I think they are all short so even at week 9 it doesn’t make 30 minutes. I started setting a timer as well but I thought I was just my inability to use the podcast 🤣
I carried on using Laura, but did feel disheartened as I wasn’t doing as well as I thought I was. I then used the Nike run club app and set the correct minutes but I couldn’t give Laura up as she did keep me going. Wonder if anyone else has had this issue.
I googled and found that people have had the same problem, others had found they had been running longer! This morning I did 25 minutes by my Garmin and Laura, goodness knows what is going on!
Like you, I feel like sticking with her as getting close to the end of the 9 weeks now 🤞
