ORIGINAL POST:
If you are having problems with downloading the Strength & Flex podcasts, or any of the other NHS podcasts, than the following post on C25k might help figure out how to still download and access these podcasts.
Thanks to roseabi for putting this together!
🆘 ARE YOU HAVING TROUBLE ACCESSING THE NHS PODCAST ? 🆘
Some of you will have noticed that the NHS Couch to 5K, C25K +, and Strength & Flex podcasts disappeared from the NHS website about a week ago. Podcast apps were also affected by this.
We contacted the NHS website people and after a couple of days they had restored the podcasts to the websites.
★ But... THE PODCASTS MAY NOT CURRENTLY BE WORKING IN PODCAST ALL APPS such as Apple Podcasts, PlayerFM etc. The NHS website people are still working to fix this!
⭐ There are a couple of things you can still do to access the podcasts, which I list below.
1. Go to the relevant NHS webpage and play or download the podcasts from there:
Couch to 5K: nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/c...
Or get the podcasts from AndyD's post for the time being healthunlocked.com/couchto5......
C25K+ (Stepping Stone, Speed, Stamina): nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/c...
Strength & Flex: nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/s...
★ You can stream the podcasts from the site if you run with data enabled, or you can download the podcast files to your phone or mp3 player.
DOWNLOAD and then You can access downloaded files on your phone by looking for the downloads folder in the 'Files' or 'MyFiles' app.
★ If you have visited the NHS website recently, YOU MAY NEED TO CLEAR YOUR BROWSER CACHE in order to see the updated pages with the restored podcasts.
Here's an article that explains how to clear your browser cache on various devices - note that your settings may not look exactly as displayed in the article, but the basic ideas are there!

IF NONE OF THIS WORKS FOR YOU DO NOT FEAR!!! 😁
2. Download the podcasts from Google Drive
★ Visit AndyD's post and follow the relevant links to the podcast files you require:
healthunlocked.com/couchto5......
TO DOWNLOAD tap on the three dots to the right (or at top right) of the file and select 'Download'. As above, find your downloaded files in the 'Files' or 'MyFiles' app.
