If you run that slowly that you get bored it means you arent pushing yourself, run faster famalamadingdong

Chicks jogging around in shorts like your pic rel is what keeps it interesting

Lose the music, it messes up your rhythm and I'd you listen too the same albums or playlist over and over while running you will subconsciously skye down at say song 4 because that is where you always slow down.

>it messes up your rhythm
you're right about this, I started jogging without music and when I started listening to music I noticed it was fucking with my breathing rhythm and whatnot. I'll do my next jog without music, thanks for the tip

you're probably right, my goal up to this point was really just to run for 30 minutes without having to walk for a few minutes but I'll start pushing myself more, thanks

definitely, but I'm lucky if I see one or two where I jog, might need to change locales

heres a app that got me from bearly being able to do 5k to my first halfmarathon
Zombies run! its an app that interrupts your music with audioclips directed at you(runner 5 the zoms are behind you/get moving the bandits are on an intercept cource etc) if you get in to it its really motivating its a ongoing story they are up to season 6 by now (make sure to turn dont interupt music option of if you have an 1hour running mix or youll never hear the clips)

for music I suggest the pod runner podcast they have mixes at diffrent bmps so you can pic music based on how fast you want to go and run to the beat they even have some interesting stuff like intervall training mixes that vary speed

Slow down, you shouldn't be winded when you finish. You shouldn't be winded at all. If you get winded, slow down. Ficus on distance rather than time at this stage.

agreed, running with music is a meme that should be driven to extinction

>>42841625

I disagree I got so conditiond to going fast to the last song of this mix when it came on during the last km of my last race i went in to some kind of wierd mindstate where I apparantly growled at my cheering mother and screamed at people to get out of my way(they where hoping into the finish line holding hands) I passed a shittone of people and was euphoric as fuck but could barley stand when i came out of it I have close no memory of the time between when the song came on and crossing the finish line

Hey runners!
I'm training for a half marathon. The race is in 5 and a half weeks.
I run 3 days a week. A 10Km pace or tempo run, a 10K easy run, and a long run. My next long run will be about 21 or 22K, ie the length of the race. For my next 4 long runs, should I keep increasing this distance, maintain it or reduce it?
Thanks!

I usually listen to music, less often to podcasts while running. You should be able to find an hour of music that both keeps you in sync with your pace and hyped as it gets more exhausting. For me it's either a dnb set or single songs that fit the bill. Spotify has an option that lets you pick music by bpm, I think it's called something like running Playlists.

More important is the route you're picking though. Pick a nice green route, water is great, too. A change of scenery is helpful and can give you that 'new stage' feeling.
Options to do a longer loop are helpful.

if i breath properly (rising lower stomach instead of chest during inhale) i pretty much always reach my second breathing after 4km, so i rly dont need further distraction as im more or less high by then. make sure to develop good posture while running and train a lot of breathing techniques during dull times and u will see some serious improve on your capacity of evening out ur oxygen levels, making it way easier and way more entertaining to run long distances.
