Audio book!

I swapped music for an audio book tonight, I downloaded one from the library onto my phone, listened to it on the traffic jams too and fro work and headed out with my now familiar reader and characters in my earoles! What a success, I followed the story and just kept going, no worries!

I often run with an audio book. I find it much better than music.

What a great idea! I love audiobooks but didn't think to use them when running. As soon as I build up the stamina to a decent length run I'm going to give it a go. Happy listening!

Do you run faster if it's a suspense or horror story ?

I think I would runswithdogs, but I'm a bit woosy these days!

Music seems better if you are going for speed but for stamina, definitely spoken word, the time just flies by. This digital audiobook lending service is brilliant isn't it?

[Hidden in reply to GoogleMe]

This is my first loaned audio book, but I've been borrowing Ebooks for ages, I think it's fab!

[Sloggingalong in reply to GoogleMe]

Hello there - can you give me info on the digital audiobook lending service please

[Hidden in reply to Sloggingalong]

Have a look at your local library online, you'll hopefully have audio books and Ebooks available freeeeeee!

[GoogleMe Graduate in reply to Sloggingalong]

You'll have to check out your local public library service to see what they offer.

Brilliant!!! thank you Cloudchaser and GoogleMe. I didn't know this and it is going to be a great help

I always run with my audio book and the metronome ticking away over the top. I love it, and I get so engrossed in the story that the time flies by - often I just don't want to stop as the story has got to a gripping bit!

On a similar note, I download podcasts from Radio 4. I find Saturday Live perfect for long outings...
