I don't run with Laura - am I the only one?

Because me and my husband are doing C25K together, we have just been doing the weeks ourselves with him doing the timing (and motivation for me)! Is it just me then or is there anyone else who hasn't had the pleasure of Laura?

Having Laura and the instructions is proving to be a great motivator for me, as well as reading comments on here! Sounds like your husband is your 'Laura' so if it works it's good! I like not having to keep track of the timing and just keep going until the wee voice tells me to slow down. I'm doing this on my own, must be great to have that extra support!

My husband was already a runner but came out with me to motivate me and keep me company in the dark. I used Laura, he ambled along at the side of me and walked/ran the same as me. He either used that as his warm up before his own run or did his "proper" run the next day. I still use Laura now even though i have completed the programme. I missed the prompts.

I did some runs without Laura but that was down to technical issues. I found her really useful to do the timings...meant if running on your own you dont' have to keep looking (or squinting in the dark in my case) at my watch. Do what ever works for you :)
