Hi, weeks after graduation I'm just about to go out without Laura (been doing week 9 and week 1 on jog/run). I've used jog.fm to find music at the bpm I want to get my target time for the 5k which means I don't know if it's inspirational yet but it's certainly different to the music I'd normally listen to. It's very varied and I certainly hope it'll do the trick. I'll let you know!!

Well done for graduating. You have to send a msg to JR21 to get your graduation badge. If you have already done that just repeat again as I know he was apologising if some people were missing theirs . Just go up to the directory at the top of the page and click his link and ask for your badge. Good luck with that.

Go to google and type jog.fm and make your own playlist. You can even put in your pace you run and it will give you tracks that suit your pace. Good luck with that one.;)

Just given you your graduate badge Lvingncanada. Well done!

congratulations on graduating and get your badge too. All I can say is chose running music you love, never mind like! On my last run, I put my running playlist on shuffle, and after I had all my electronics set and wired I set off. Only to discover that I have set shuffle on my whole music library and random slow and tranquil pieces of music plopped through my earpiece for the next 30 minutes. NOT what I like for running music, so I was fairly annoyed with myself once I got home. For some unknown reason Led Zeppelin's opening notes to Stairway to Heaven started just as I turned into my driveway... What could I do but laugh at my silly mistake

Congrats on graduating. I have made some music lists because I am repeating some runs. I noticed that the podcasts tend to have lighter music to start and towards the end when you might need a bit of a push they go a little 'heavier'. I did this and found it helps when you are getting tired at the end! Re-living my headbanging youth!

Thanks to everyone for the advice. I def need to revamp my music. Find 30 mins a bit grueling without it

Not what you're looking for?
