1st run.

[Kindly]

Hi just done my 1st run really enjoyed it (well not at the time lol). Just wondered how you do it with music playing while your running/walking when Laura isn’t talking?

I'm here for the exact same question. I don't have any music on my phone so wondered whether there's a running playlist on the app that I'm missing?

[Schofield Graduate in reply to sweetiepopeye]

Hi, there isn’t I’m afraid, you’d have to either have music on your phone or an app, eg radio player, Spotify etc

[sweetiepopeye in reply to Schofield]

Ah thank you!

I’ve just listened to the podcast they play music but not sure if it tracks your run on app. X

[Schofield Graduate]

I just set my music on shuffle and then start the app, the music will auto mute when Laura talks

[Kindly in reply to Schofield]

Thank you I’ll do that next time xx

Welcome, great start - well done.😃

You can either download the podcast which gives you Laura‘s instructions & music - which is paced well for you to walk/run to. OR you can download the app which means you can play your own music simultaneously with the C25K app & Laura will talk over your music. Either way, you just do as you are told, without the hassle of timing yourself. - Not sure if that answers your question??

Good luck. Keep posting & we will cheer you on. 😄

PS I love your “not at the time” - I remember it well! 😂

Thank you I’ll listen to my music maybe better if it’s something I like listening to. Xx

Hope it get better lol x

Well done doesn't it feel great - I've just restarted and it was good to be back jogging! Sadly I did it on a treadmill but this morning is such a fantastic morning outside - great to be alive! I also am keen to hear how to run to music. Good luck with the programme JoP

Hi it is a great feeling when you have done it. Love outside at moment not to sure when it starts getting dark and cold. I’m going to play my music tomorrow along side of the app. As advised by elfe5 xx
