NHS Couch to 5K

Finally learned to love running at 46 with this app after a lifetime believing that my body wasn’t suited to running. Only downside is the music in early weeks is great, then unfortunately gets repetitive from week 5 onwards. This becomes an issue when runners need to repeat runs more than twice before being ready to progress to next run, and end up unable to bear the song repetitions week after week. Be amazing if the app could be updated with no song repetitions at all.

After several years of varying degrees of immobility due to a spinal injury, I’m now 3-4 months post op and have started to feel well enough to start low impact jogging. This app has helped me immensely.

Just about to start week 4 and really enjoying it. I look forward to the next run!!!! Can’t believe I’m saying this! I was the couch potato. But I have read that you can change the voice of the trainer but can’t see how to do it.

This is a terrific podcast! I’m so grateful that it has motivated me and keeps me motivated to put on my running shoes. Awesome! Thank you x
