Podrunner: My Favorite Fitness Podcast

By Laura Moncur @ 5:00 am — Filed under:

PodrunnerI have been downloading Podrunner onto my iPod for a LONG time and I’m surprised that I have never talked about it here. You don’t have to subscribe using iTunes. You can download the latest podcast here:

Running is much easier when I have the right music. Podrunner always gives me music with a thumping bass that makes keeping active easy. I hate it when I have my iPod on shuffle and a slow, mellow song comes on, so a mix like Podrunner lets me exercise without having to worry about skipping songs. I just start it playing and I have an hour of run-friendly music to keep me company.

    I’m so glad that you’re talking about it. I used Podrunner Intervals to get myself started running up to a 5K and love it! I tell whoever I can about these podcasts.

    I love Podrunner and like you have been using it for a while. What I’m concerned about is the accuracy of the Nike+ if I’m running at a sustained steps per minute. If I lengthen or shorten my stride over the course of a run while keeping the same spm the entire time, how would the Nike+ register I’m moving any faster or slower? Or am I missing something?

  4. Laura Moncur Says:

    Sharon,

    The Nike+ has an accelerometer, which means it can tell how fast your foot is moving. If you lengthen your stride, your foot needs to move faster to cover that much ground. That’s why the Nike+ is WAY better than a pedometer. I’m continually surprised at how well it works.

    The only time it hasn’t worked for me was when the battery in the foot pod was going dead.

    Best,
    Laura Moncur
