Best C25K app suggestions please?

I used to run twice a week and loved the way it made me feel and I looked so healthy!
I tried to re-start recently and it didn't go well so I'm looking for a good motivational C25K app to spur me on.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

I use two different apps and do the runs from both - so taking more time but it’s easier and less pressure. I have done C25K before and always felt a bit intimidated and like each new distance / time was probably too hard for me, but this way is much more enjoyable and I’m not in any rush.

These are the ones I use:

The free NHS one worked well for me, you can have your own music in the background and there's a choice of voices. When you're done with C2tk Nike Run Club is good for more varied audio -uided runs.

I'm doing C25K at the moment. I just use the NHS app, with Spotify for music. I'm not interested in anything motivational, I just need it for the timings. I've picked Sanjeev as my narrator and he doesn't chatter too much.

Interested in this thread?

Thanks for the recommendations, I've downloaded the NHS C25K app and just done week 1 day 1 run with the lovely Sarah Millican encouraging me!
