depends on your phone .... i'm on android and using run double c25k its free for the first 2 weeks then £1.99 for the pro app

it's a bit "electronic" sounding and if i'm honest i prefered laura's dulcet tones but i hated the music so it's better for me in that way

You can also run Laura's pods through RunDouble. She does lag by about 30-60 seconds but this never bothered me as when, for example, she said 5 minutes left then I knew that I had even less!!! This item is because when you start RunDouble it starts first then Laura starts and depending on how long she does her introduction will be the length of the delay.

By about week 4 I only used to play Laura for the first run of the week and the rest of the time I played my own music.

I use c25k free on my iPhone, it lest me use my iTunes for music. At the same time I run Nike app for distance. The two apps work ok together.

I use runkeeper on my Samsung Phone and my own music. You can set runkeeper to give you progress reports. Mine is set to tell me my pace, and distance every 10 minutes and it also tells me each mile I complete

I use runtastic and really like it. You can set it so they speak to you or not :) I miss Laura too though. x
