A vote for audiobooks.

[Tiggercnk]

Been running a while and just moved to listening to audiobooks in the last week or so. I highly recommend it, really takes your mind off what you are doing and I find that music can make you run faster than you might want to as you find yourself keeping to a beat without realising. Just started listening to Michelle Obama, fantastic. She is such a descriptive writer and her voice is so soothing.

Quite a few public library services offer free digital audiobook loan.

That’s good to know. I’ve listened to podcasts in the past too and they are always good although not always long enough 😂

I went from music to podcasts and found that really helped my running too.

Thanks for your thoughts on this. I did an wanting to read Michelle Obama's book. I don't usually do podcasts when running or audio books but am interested in starting as now about to start Week 8.

Does the couch 25k app still kick in over your audio? Does it still run in the background? I wouldn't want to miss crucial words of encouragement from Laura.
