Own Playlist

[ca66ie99]

I've have seen comments on the blogs about setting up your own playlists - can anyone advise me how to do this ?? The music is not quite working for me everytime, think I need a heavy dancey track to get me to the end !!

You can either load up your favourite music to an MP3 player, or mobile phone and then organise that into a playlist for your running.

I find setting up and fine-tuning a playlist very enjoyable

I use an Ipod and just make a PlayList called running from my music library. Then if I buy a new CD or better still when my youngest son buys one I add it to my library. His music is better for running to than mine and has got loads of umph to it (faster beat for running).

Yes, that is very true, I find sometimes the music on the podcasts do not have the umph to push me, in the middle of W4 the last 5 min run it stops altogether for probably a few seconds but it is enough for me to start struggling. Thanks for the advice

You can create a play list on Itunes and then save it to your device,i use an i shuffle devise

as it is very light, and will clip to your clothing and you can play your tracks in a random setting or track by track as loaded or you can skip tracks at a press of a button.

You can load a very large no of track to suit any mood.

if you want to listen to your own music but still hear when to run and when to walk, there is an app called GetRunning on Itunes which uses the same interval programme as Laura but you can play your own music in the background and a voice will interupt when it's time to run or walk. You won't get Laura's helpful tips and advice, but you can always liten to those before you start out!

Thank you for this, that was what I needed to know, I struggle with some of the music they play on the podcast but need the voice telling me when to run / walk. I'll check this out, thanks again
