August Running Challenge

[OpalLilyEats]

How do you get yourself into a steady pace? Mine seems to be dictated by what I'm listening to which can end up very badly!!!!!

That's exactly why I don't listen to music when running. I either run with nothing or listen to an audio book or podcasts.

I bought a garmin watch which tells me my average pace for that lap (1 mile) so I use that. I'm sure there are apps that do the same?!

I have a running album, so all the tracks are quite well paced. I don't listen to anything with the club though as they tend to gossip as we go.
I can't wait to get my garmin watch! Mum and dad are buying it me in September for my birthday. 10 days before my half so thats good.

I don't think of enjoy it without my music. I used to have a running playlist but I deleted it by accident haha. I need to make another one as I can feel my pace speed up when it's a fun song that I want to dance to!!!

I listen to music from Spotify and I'm definitely influenced by the music but I just enjoy it.
