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!

Morning all,

Just wondering what people listen to while running?

I use a combination of music and podcasts but sometimes find music pushes my pace when I dont want it to.

Any suggestions or recommendations?

I’ve enjoyed tea and trails podcast but always enjoy the second half more, when they interview guests, which is how I discovered fetch everyone.

Oh, I was trying to tag Mr Potato Head but didnae seem to find you. Let's try again Mr Potato Head

I don't often run with music but on ething I've been trying to do is to combine long outings with new music. And guess what, we have a thread for that too ;-)

I used to listen to music for every run, then when I did my first ultra in 2016 I just couldn't stand the noise in my ears, so I took my earphones out and have scarecly listened to anything whilst running since.

The only exception is that I will sometimes listen to a podcast if i'm run-commuting. An episode of Tom Scott's "Lateral" podcast is normally about the length of my commute so that works nicely.

I listen to mostly music. Usually spotify playlists. When I am doing a structured run, tempo, intervals etc I listen to podcasts. Diary of a CEO. Rob Brydon. The Running Channel. High Performance and similar.

I never run with music or anything in my ears beyond the birdsong and sound of the waves on the beach (most of my running is on a coastal path or past an RSPB reserve). The footing can be uneven or loose and a sheer drop onto rocks can be nearby so I need all my spatial awareness and not be distracted by a soundtrack in headphones.

On the rowing machine it's different though. Always music: either old-time ska or rocksteady tunes for slow steady rows or something a bit more punky and uptempo for the harder stuff.

Tiny little hairs, wax, eardrums, some fascinating little bones, a complex array of liquid filled tubes.... it's quite interesting in there really.

I like audiobooks for my long runs - epic fantasy makes the time fly. I have bone conduction headphones so I can hear the world around me too!
