Hi gang. My girlfriend's looking for a good Couch to 5k app... but crucially she wants one that will allow her to use her own music (i.e. talking over her existing playlist) rather than forcing her to use their music.

Apparently such a thing used to exist, but is harder to find now.

Any recommendations?

I've not used an app for my c25k attempt, FD, but doesn't the NHS app let you use you'd own music if you want?

That's the one Mrs Nellers used a while back when she got up to doing a few parkruns. She was able to use her own music and get encouragement from celebrity "coach" Sarah Millican, which always amused her.
