Whether or not to run with headphones has been hotly debated by runners since the invention of the Walkman. Without igniting that debate again, I will tell you there are circumstances in which I will run with my mp3 player.
As much as we debate whether to run with music, there is always tons of conversation on what to run to! I don’t know about all of you, but there are songs in my running playlists that I would not listen to any other time. Then there are the guilty pleasures that I secretly love, but will never admit to!
Here are some links to suck up your Friday afternoon: Jog Tunes is a neat site that has music sorted by the beats-per-minute, so that if you have immense difficulty maintaining any kind of consistent pace when you run to music, you can construct your playlist based on your cadence. Running Music Mix is another one. It doesn’t tell you who the artists are, but links to playlists on iTunes so you can see the artists as well as preview the tracks.
So what about you? What songs are an absolute must on your list? And can you share why they’re there??
What about your favourite mp3 player?
I want to hear about it! Post your comments in the section below, or email me at iRun_Karen@live.com and I will post next Friday!
