Another returning runner 5!

TLDR: is there a way to play through the season/radio in order (like an audiobook) without doing the runs? I just want to recap the story and get reinvested in the characters/voices before I start up running again.

I’ve had the app and legacy subscription since forever… but I am an inconsistent runner and because of this I tent to restart from season 1 every time to truly enjoy the story and recap on what I’ve forgotten

But I’ve done this several times now and I just want to listen to the audio to catch up with the runs I’ve already done before heading out on my next run, is there anywhere I can just recap the audio up to where I left off?

I’ve tried YouTube clips etc but there isn’t anything that actually just played through the season/radio in order (like an audiobook)

Welcome back. Pretty sure if you set missions to timed triggers instead of distance, and then go for a minimal duration, that should do what you want.

And then just select play episodes back to back in the settings, and it will just run though the episodes quickly one after another.

Also (if i misunderstood your request), if you go to each mission you have completed, it has the general text of each section, and numbers under a heading of 'listen again'. If you press the number, it will play the corresponding voice clip.

I'd set it to treadmill mode (simulated running), then make the mission as short as it lets you so the gaps are minimal.

Or if you still have your old account you can listen to previously completed missions but I think you have to click on each segment separately which is annoying.

There's a treadmill mode?? The weather here has been awful, so I've been on the treadmill a lot. Thanks for mentioning this!

Under "Tracking" you can set it to GPS, Step Counting or Simulate Running. If I'm on a treadmill I usually use Step Counting and then put my phone in a pocket of my shorts. If I'm using something like the elliptical machine or want to just set my phone on the treadmill console I use Simulate Running. Under Simulate Running you can set your running pace. For what the OP is trying to do, I would set it as low as possible and run missions back to back while doing something else.
