Tortoise on the beat ... ๐Ÿข

Amidst VWC Tech-confusion, Iโ€™m still trundling along. And today it was Not Raining. ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜„

I have discovered a set of podcasts called Podrunner, which some others might find handy. Seems to be a large library of music podcasts with very specific beats per minute. Thereโ€™s relatively little irritating talk and big choice. The music Iโ€™ve found so far is only so-so: not tuneful but it does have a really strong beat and is less boring than a metronome. ๐Ÿ˜Š There are interval ones of many sorts as well as steady beats. Might be worth exploring for some, especially for either picking up pace or maybe slowing it down/steadying the flow.

Happy running. ๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒธ

I do hope your New Forest traiks are drying out a bit now Granspeed, I shall have to look out those pod runners . I usually shuffle my own music but thereโ€™s no doubt my speed changes with what pops up. I did try Spotify tracks at certain beats pm but I couldn't stand the adverts.

Happy running

The gravel tracks are getting better, though there are still some good puddles. No running in a daze. ๐Ÿ˜ณ But the farm track local to my house is a quagmire and beyond the little bridge, there is a moat. ๐Ÿ˜จ I am still on lanes and pavements locally.

The Podrunner music is variable and Iโ€™ve only tried a few so far. But I got one about 5 bpm faster than my usual basic trundle and it definitely moved me up. ๐Ÿคฃ And there was an uninterrupted hour of it.

๐Ÿ‘I love downloading choices from my own music & putting them into playlists marked 3k run 5krun etc I plan my music according to the run I want to do & change it frequently so I donโ€™t get bored. Sometimes I run without it & thatโ€™s an enjoyment in itself, listening to the dawn chorus, sounds of the sea & time to think.

Yes, Iโ€™m mostly a โ€œnakedโ€ runner! We are lucky if we run in natural surroundings. I am on town pavements at the moment, due to high mud levels, so was looking for music beat to help regulate my pace. Trying to get some advantage from this spell of uncooperative weather. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ
