Sticking to the beat

[Fiddler71]

Does anyone else find that they run to the beat of the music (whether they like it or not)? I can't help doing it, but sometimes worry that it might be too fast.

I'm quite good at maintaining my own rhythm but do occasionally 'click' with the tunes.

if you are - it could serve you well when you graduate. The 5k+ runs are all about running to the beat - and I'm just about getting the hang of it.

You'll know you're going too fast if either you can't finish a run, or you need more than one rest day inbetween. Although that just happens with life sometimes too

I tend to if it fits in comfortably with my pace - but unfortunately most of the tracks for the C25K didn't suit me at all! I don't mind when it's completely wrong for me, but I find it really uncomfortable running to a track that's *just* off my beat!

I find that if a fast song comes on that I like I do tend to speed up.

As parkbirdy says post graduatation you'll find it easy. I struggle a bit to keep to a beat as i zone out and only half listen
