Morning run

[Gthants]

Out yesterday, slightly later than I'd have liked, but I had to tie the run in with Aldi's opening hours. (Why they can't open at dawn for my own personal convenience is quite beyond me ... )

Just 32 minutes and 4k. Last run was 35 minutes and 4.2k.

That seems to be about the norm for the moment - a couple of 25-35 minute runs a week, with a Pilates session and a couple of half-hour gym trips for stretching/light weights/easy machines. This works with what has been a very busy Spring, work-wise.

Bach's Goldberg Variations (Perahia) worked well for a meditative run this time. (The last run was Sally Rooney on audiobook!)

Happy running!

oh I got to try the Goldberg Variations when running! I have dabbled with running to classical music (Rachmaninov, Prokofiev…) but still need to experiment a bit more. My majority of music has been rock, pop with specific beats per minutes to meet my cadence.

Fab run (and Aldi trip!) 😄👍🏽👏

I have a lot of playlists - some upbeat, some mixed, some single artist. One is just for running. I also have a classical running list, which is just short pieces of overtures etc - but no single movements as I get snobby about that! I'm working on a play about Bach at the moment, so the Goldberg kept me in the zone whilst being soothing and helping me not to run too fast!

lol!

Would love to try some of your playlists. Are they on Spotify by any chance? Mine (Spotify) are here (I think) but mostly rock and pop (for now) : open.spotify.com/user/21j2n...

No. Not on Spotify - we are with Apple Music!

👍🏽 ahh ok. I will have to continue to imagine your music!

But you have reminded me that I wanted to find some great “classical” running music. Will have to do soon.
