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?
😱 that’s weird. I’ve never heard of this?
Nice typo though 🐷🐮🐴 🤣
Oh dear, just noticed that!!
Use the one you app. You can even play music at the same time and the volume will turn down when the coach starts talking 😊
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 
Are you using the podcast download or the NHS Couch to 5K app?
The podcast download-nhs couch to 5K
Strange. I'll download it later and check. Is your player set to 1x speed?
Oh no, how very disappointing for you. I’m sure it can’t be wrong for every podcast though.
It’s not something I’ve heard of before, either. Though I’ve never used the podcasts, just the app.
It’s a bit odd!
Yes I found the same when I used this. Who are you listening to? Wonder if it is this?
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’m glad it isn’t just me, but how annoying hey?! When did you realise? I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t taken Garmin today.
Did you continue to week 9 going by Laura or did you add time on? I’m not sure what to do yet, guess it will depend on how I’m doing on my next run.
Thank you for sharing
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 🤞
At least I was running less 🤣 struggled doing that
Absolutely!!
Is anything wrong with the podcast timing?
Tried the c25k+ speed podcast for the first time
Week 5, run 3 - 20 minutes done!!!
Week 5 run 2 and gutted 
Week 5 Run 3 (20 minute)
