Got a notification when I logged in yesterday. He's the best IMO, and he seems to be the popular choice on here - very encouraging and I like his deep voice. Can't stand Sarah Millican. Haven't tried the others Jo or Sanjiv yet? Are they any good?

I’ve done it’s few times and I like Laura the best tbh!

Hobnobsandbroomstick · 22/04/2021 17:54

Sanjeev for me.

inmyslippers · 22/04/2021 18:07

Oh no! I used him he got me through it 😂

ChasedByFox · 26/04/2021 16:57

I love Laura, tbh- I wish I could have her narrate other parts of my life too!

DobbyTheHouseElk · 26/04/2021 16:59

I preferred Jo. She seemed to be more excited by my progress and added her own personal experience.

Laura was flat.

Sarah was secretly wondering why I was running and judging me.

Why is he leaving? I tried him a few times, but his deep voice always startled me when I was in my own thoughts.

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 26/04/2021 17:03

Oh no! I only run to hear his voice!

cakefanatic · 26/04/2021 17:12

I am so sad that he is going from c25k. In fact I’ve already lost his voiceover because I hit the wrong button. Sanjeev is ok, but Sarah Millican is awful.

I started with No and gave Michael a try when I got to week 7 I think. Ibdidnt like him! Admittedly it was only one run but I felt I could almost see him going through the motions reading his script in the soundbooth. Jo manages to sound like she cares about you. Grin

BettysCardigan · 26/04/2021 19:31

Jo was too empathetic! Constantly telling me how much hard work it is and how it's like I've climbed my own personal Everest really did not help!

Laura for me. Boring but no fuss.

friskybivalves · 26/04/2021 19:39

Oh that is a disaster. I find myself talking back to Michael as I pant along. 'I can do it Michael!' 'I'm nearly there Michael - not gonna let you down this time'. Can't bear the others.

I love jo. But she’s been part of my life since school and radio 1 evening sessions!

I was never really felt he was 100% genuine. Was an outstanding gold medal athlete really impressed that I had run for 3 minutes or was he just being kind?
