Yeah, once you get used to it it's pretty cool. Before too long you almost get addicted to it. I used to love it when I hit that "runner's high". I remember feeling like my body was a machine and I was just along for a pleasant ride. I love running to music but the beat of the music has to match my stride or it just doesn't work for me. I've never heard of the song Hooker posted, but it's close to my stride. One song I've found that matches my natural stride is "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" by Jim Croce. Find a song that fits your stride, find out what the beats per minute is and then you can search for other songs with the same number of beats per minute.
I actually liked the song and thought it was very good. The downer to the video was not just having the second dancer to the left in the front row do the whole video by herself. She is very good and moved with the song much, much better then the rest. They shouldn't have even allowed the last dancer in it at all. She was boring to the point of it being aggravating to watch. Nice song though. Tim
I used to listen to music when I ran, but now I get more enjoyment from just freeing up my mind, especially when I'm trail running.
Sorry, as gay as it might sound, I enjoy the sounds of nature when I run. I also like being able to hear my breathing and steps. It keeps me in rhythm.
This!! Pandora is a must for me when doing any kinda cardio. I try to switch it up between running and jumping rope. I know jumping rope sounds kinda but try it for 45 minutes to an hour and see how ghey it sounds then!! There's a reason boxers live by it! Music definitely helps! With Pandora, you can just put in "Workout Mix" and go from there.
Tony there are websites dedicated to helping you find music that fits your pace. Google running cadence music and take a look around. Jogtunes.com is one site.
When I want to listen to music I just stream pandora, but lately I've been getting into audiobooks while running. It's amazing how fast 5 miles goes when you are concentrating on what's going on in the book. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
I usually listen to rock/heavy metal. I love that kind of music, so it helps me relax and gets me into the run a little more. I prefer some killswitch engage, trivium, and even a little 30 seconds to mars from time to time. Wish I would've had my nano charged the other day, 8 miles seemed quite a bit longer without any music.
Older Metallica works pretty good, the songs are long and you can change pace for slow/fast parts and get some interval training with it.
