Hi everyone.. So I just finished week one of C25K lite (the free one). Since I like the app, I went ahead & just bought the actual app C25K. I want to be able to play music on it like it tells me I can but apparently I dont have any music to choose from.. How do I get music on there?? It says just tap on the music you want but I dont have Any choices to get songs, albums or playlists. I need help plz!! tomorrow morning i'll be using the app so if I can have an answer b4 that, that would be great ;)
Thanks guys

    You need to have music on your phone, from what I understand. I'm not positive. I just use Pandora at the same time as C25k:) Good luck!

    If you are using an iphone, just use one of your playlists on the ipod. I also pair this app with the Nike+ GPS to keep track of my routes and calories burned.

    I have a Droid too and yes, you can hear the cues while pandora is playing. I also use RunKeeper at the same time to track my distance, pace, time, etc. But I turn off the 5 minute marker notification, it gets annoying! Runkeeper also shows how many calories burned, and it's sometimes very accurate to my HRM, but I only go off of my HRM now:) Make sure your phone is charge completely... having all these apps running at the same time makes it die quick! lol

    Nike+ does track the calories, not sure if it's available on android, though. Have fun with your run, I'm on week 2 day 1 tomorrow for the second time. I was at the end of week 2 when I got sick, so I just restarted when I felt better.

    Hey!
    I just bought the C25K app, and I'm trying to connect it to MyFitnessPal, but everytime I click 'connect', it takes me to a webpage with no option to link the 2 apps.
    I also can't see to find an option in the settings of the C25K app.

    Can anyone help out at all?
    Thanks!

    Nike+ does estimate cals.

    As for music through c25k - I used one that was 100% free - c25kFREE by ZenLabs. I could use any of my playlists, worked great. It mutes the music when the app tells you when to run or walk, etc.

    Now I run with Nike+, Runkeeper, my music, and occasionally the Zombies, Run! app all going at the same time! :tongue:

    I found the answer to connecting mfp to C25k. When you've finished your training run using C25k, it will ask you if you want to share. One of the options is mfp. Choose mfp & it will take you to a permission page where you can allow the two apps to share info. Hope this helps.
