I'm really glad you dug the music. <br />It's funny, but since the music helps you stay on a specific cadence, you *may* feel like you're pushing it too hard if your cadence drops off during your run. One of the main ideas behind the concept was having a musical "assistant" to keep you on cadence. I'd happily send you a gift cert to download a 170BPM version of the song (or even 165BPM for long slow or recovery runs) if ya like—just hit me up! My email is remarkably similar to my name up there—john at hellasound (dotcom). <br />Thanks again!John at Hella Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07038053342399532585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061476672427195988.post-38771294850739506492010-03-29T20:21:04.268-04:002010-03-29T20:21:04.268-04:00I have two of these tracks and I LOVE them.

Am I tuned in to it the whole time, no - many times, I am lost in my thoughts and block out all of the tunes, but I love it when I need it, or when I don't have much to ponder.Happy Feet 26.2https://www.blogger.com/profile/07319635538117315117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061476672427195988.post-68519545548861827682010-03-25T14:44:27.493-04:002010-03-25T14:44:27.493-04:00Oh, and by the way...I no longer need to be distra...Oh, and by the way...I no longer need to be distracted from the hours of running, since it is my distraction from the other things. I don't have pains, and if I do I should stop instead of not paying attention to it. My breathing has never been hard. Sidewalks are still boring, but by lifting my eyes I do not notice them anymore.

In my mind I did it because it distracted me from hours of running, pains, breathing hard, boring sidewalk after boring sidewalk, and stresses of life.<br /><br />In November 2009 (http://www.crazyfloridian.com/archives/204) I decided to try running without music, and I have not been able to go back. I do not listen so I can be distracted from hours of running, pains, breathing hard, boring sidewalk after boring sidewalk, and stresses of life.<br /><br />See the similarity? In both situations I find that my mind is the best thing to do what I felt the music was doing. Also, I can sense that I have slowed much easier without music than with it.
