Incentive to finish

I do run faster when listening to music. Classical, jazz or Country but am not a fan of head banging stuff.

So for Parkruns I now put on ACDC, and the sooner I finish, the sooner I can turn the noise off.

Old fogey, me?

I suppose running to music you dislike will make you run faster, the quicker you finish, the quicker the 🎶 music stops. 😊

AC/DC would definitely make me run faster, through pure enjoyment. Country would make me stop and never start again 😂😂😂.
