What is the actual length of the podcasts?

Has anyone else timed the length of the running/walking sections and total podcast? I'm running on a treadmill and the 30 minute podcasts only last about 20 minutes. Has anyone else found this?

Can you please be more specific and say which podcast Week and Race?

The NHS/Laura podcasts are generally 35-40 minutes if you include the warm-down walk. You can see their duration by adding up the various elements here - nhs.uk/Livewell/c25k/Pages/...

I found it on earlier ones but the week 3 says its 27:19 but it actually only lasted 17:54. Having done a bit more investigation I now feel like an idiot...I didn't realise there is a button on my iPhone that plays the podcasts at different speeds and I must have turned it on my accident. Well, running this week is going to be an awful lot harder!

I did that this morning when starting the podcast while walking. Must have pressed the little 1x icon which made Laura sound very squeaky! I twigged luckily before starting the run. :)

She now speaks really slowly from my point of view! Was really weird. Luckily today I survived the actual time!
