Podrunner

I planned to do a plug for Podrunner Intervals but I’ve just checked and apparently I’ve not blogged about Podrunner, how can this be?

Before we start, Podrunner is a podcast. If you don’t know what a podcast is then slap yourself up side the head and then go and read some of these.

Podrunner describes itself as: Fixed-BPM; Nonstop; High Energy; One Hour; Workout Music; Weekly; Free. The music is what I would describe as ‘house’ music, but I never was very good with the finer points of dance music terminology. I always tended to listen to dance music when running and since discovering Podrunner I listen to little else. There is a new mix out every week so (provided that iTunes manages to drag it through the gloop of China’s international internet connectivity) you get something new to listen to each week.

The different BPM thing is interesting, I tend to just listen to the latest mix, I do find though that within a certain range I fall in step with the music and consequently run faster or slower (slightly) but anything too extreme and my subconscious stops trying to keep up. So 161 BPM will probably make me run faster but 171 BPM and I’ll revert to default pace. Mostly I just like the music.

Podrunner is the brainchild of DJ Steve Boyett, he also puts out a podcast called Groovelectric which is similar music and more sensible BPM, this is good music for cocooning yourself from the sound of slurping tea in the office.

So back to where we started, plugging Podrunner Intervals, varied BPM music for interval training coming out on the first of Feb which should be interesting.

Check it out.
