Outside running and music

[LeiYunFat]

I loathe running.

When I run I make sure I'm running fast enough to where I won't need music, because I won't EVER run long enough for a song to end.

lol so no. I don't listen to music.

Music slows you down and it interferes with your aural receptiveness, on the odd occasion I choose to run I try and do it properly which involves full attention being paid to the conditions, speed and form. If you're working hard enough you wouldn't be able to concentrate on music anyway.

That's a neat idea. I've never thought of that before.

For some it might not work, but for me, I tend to workout more correctly than if I just did it w/o music.

Makes sense. Makes a lot of sense, actually. I tend to think of speed when I'm getting tired. LOL Otherwise, I just try to run at a speed that I can maintain while being acutely aware of what is going on around me. LOL

I think that if you keep your music down low enough, that music can be very motivating, kinda pump you up you know. I run alot, everywhere, and my husband suggested that because i was a little uncomfortable about unknown nieghborhood, to have like a bunch of different routes you know that way you are unpredictable. Running with music is very enjoyable, i definatley suggest it!
