So what do you listen to when out running? Tonight on my 4.5 miles I listened to - podcast No 9, Bastille - Grip, Elton John - Roy Rogers and Biffy Clyro - Friends and Enemies. I’m keen to read about what keeps your legs turning. I’ve got eclectic taste and listen to podcasts and a huge variety of bands. What are you into? If this subject has been covered, point me in the direction of the thread 😀 |

Great to run to. I love that they sing in their accents.

I'd be interested to know if you can search for tracks by reference to their beats per minute. I find some tracks are absolutely spot on for my pace (cadence?) and other make me start running unevenly as I try to count whether a bar of music completes/recurs in, say, 7 or 9 paces.

For example, I sometimes run to old recordings of John Peel's Festive Fifty. Every time he plays Fascist Groove Thang, I know the beat will be perfect for the next few minutes.

Back in the olden days we used to march to music which is part of the reason I can’t run to music. Beat nearly always throws my cadence, and then like Synge my balance is all over the place.

I tend to listen to the radio. Mix of music and chat, and doesn't dictate my pace. Station dependant on mood.

I have my favourite Festive 50 (1981) on a Spotify playlist if I need some nostalgia. Mostly listen to podcasts to make running a bit more educational. Amateur ones on sport (running, Celtic, Chicago Cubs) and more professional efforts from the Guardian, ESPN and Malcolm Gladwell. Current favorite is the BBC History Extra podcast. |

I'm more likely to listen to spoken podcasts than music while running these days. However, I seem to recall I used to have a running app that would adjust the tempo of recorded music to match the desired cadence. Or did I imagine it?! |

One of my favourite tunes to run to is No One Knows by QoTSA, I think Dave Grohl's drumming makes a great rhythm to run to. At the moment when I do run it's mainly Neue Deutsche Härte bands or LEJ, Jain and Sofi Tukker as that's mostly what's on my phone. I think the german and french stuff is good, I only understand a few words so I concentrate less on the songs and more on the running.
