Really been enjoying audiobooks while running lately. Great for zoning out on longer runs. Used to run with music, then nothing for awhile, then podcasts. Now audiobooks. Currently loving "The First Law Trilogy" from @joeabercrombie.com. Fantastic story, and the narration is top-notch.

I’ve been doing half / music half podcast. When I run I am using it as meditation or thinking, so music is always less of a distraction (not for all). I’ll keep trying!

Yeah, I feel like you always hear that you shouldn't listen to anything while running/working out, but I always default to podcasts—might sneak in a few audio books—and find that it helps me run longer, while also being able to either focus on, or come up with, new ideas.

for the longest time I loved running without music or anything and just enjoyed being outside and soaking up my surroundings. not sure what changed! now I just want to zone out and go 🤷‍♂️
