Love Laura but want my own music...

Any suggestions? I like having laura tell me all the useful things but i really think it would improve my mood if I could have the music I liked.

Do you have an iPod/iPhone? If so, use the Get Running App. Had it suggested to me, and it's brilliant. Still has someone telling you to walk/run/when you're nearly there etc, but it can run in the background so you can use your own music, and a GPS tracker if you want to as well. It's brilliant!

love this app which does the same as Laura with regard to runs, intervals etc but allows me to play my own music. Usually I play Laura for the first run and listen to her tips and then play the app for the next two runs

It might be available on the Android Market (or whatever it's called nowadays), I'm not sure because I don't have anything I can check with. Might be worth a look though :)

try 10k trainer on android market very simlair to c25k but lets you use your own music

I'm having the same issue, I'm on week seven and there are a couple of songs that sound like very bad music you'd hear in a bloomin' elevator...I wish I were able to just cut the music out and still have Laura's lovely encouraging voice with me.

Silly as it sounds I started this thing with Laura and I want to see it through to the end with her too :)

Lol I agree, cannot wait to be able to run on my own so I can make my own playlists!! The music is pretty awful. I am surprised that they can't afford the rights to any "real" music at all!
