Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

If you're looking for music, Love is a Battlefield, Rock Lobster and What I Am (Edie Brickell) work well at 180ish.

I once spent ages trying to measure the precise beats per minute of lots of tracks on my iPod. (This was a long time ago!)

Is there an easy way, in these modern techie days, of playing a track, perhaps through an app, and getting a beats per minute reading?

I've googled and there's something called BPM detect which will do that.

There's another one called BPM detector, which gets much better reviews than the one I previously mentioned...

Spotify have some bpm playlists, although the 180 ones aren't that inspiring. I have an app called, imaginatively, BPM, which lets me tap along and calculates an average. It also shazams.

Podrunner used to have an app where you could actually adjust the bpm of their tracks if you particularly liked one that wasn't at the speed you wanted.

Got something to say?

Hello all,

After some advice/shared experiences from people who might have gone through a similar thing previously if possible.

Bit of background. 50 years old, been running relatively seriously for 20+ years, usually quite high mileage, like my road Marathons etc. But I've historically been pretty hard on my body. The classic quite slow cadence, thus overstriding and the associated issues that brings. Mitigated to some degree by strength training, but my issues have been getting prog...
