Speed podcast - lack of rhythm :(

Anyone else notice that, whist listening to the Speed podcast, you can have the beat going exactly right in your head, but then you look down, and realise that your feet are dancing to a completely different rhythm? or am I the only one with a distinct lack of rhythm?

No point asking me...I'm a musician by trade!

What I did find with all 3 c25k podcasts is that there are points when Laura's shouting "1,2,3,4!" and she's not on the beat!

I thought it was just me mis-hearing it due to the sound of huffing and puffing I emit when I run. I always thought I had quite a good musical ear, having played the piano since the age of 5, but I found Laura's counting really off putting!

Definitely not you - it's Laura, and yes, VERY off putting!

Oh thank God it's not just me re Laura's 1-2-3-4! That aside, I do find I need to do a sort of shuffle every now and then to get my feet back in the correct rhythm. I find it takes a bit of concentration.

Lamp posts are easier on the ears and more tuneful, that is if you can call modern day pop music tuneful ;) Put the 2 together and you have just designed a HIIT plan:- sprint-recover-sprint-recover repeat until knackered, simples :)

Not what you're looking for?
