Welcome

0:06

to week 4 of your first day to 5k

0:08

program on Podrunner. I'm

0:10

Steve Boyette and I'll be with you for about 2 minutes

0:13

here and then we'll get going. So

0:15

far we've talked about good running form and

0:18

we've talked a little bit about mental attitude and

0:20

frame of mind. Now let's talk

0:22

about the music. The music in

0:24

Podrunner isn't there to distract you but

0:26

to give you a metronome to regulate your pace,

0:29

which research has shown regulates energy

0:31

expenditure and makes your workout more

0:33

efficient. Podrunner uses electronic

0:36

dance music because the tempo is dead

0:38

on, because the individual tracks are

0:40

designed to be put together to form one

0:42

big piece, and because this type

0:45

of music evolved from a long history

0:47

of music meant to keep people moving.

0:50

As the program continues and the higher speed

0:52

sections get longer, you'll notice that

0:54

the music gets more intense as it goes.

0:57

I try to make that last high speed track

0:59

the most energetic, positive, and

1:01

uplifting. Even the slower sections

1:03

will intensify as the mixes get longer.

1:06

This is to give you some more motivation in the last

1:08

part of your workout, when your energy reserves

1:11

are lowest and you're starting to feel it. It's

1:13

a boost. The cool down track

1:16

always has a positive and relaxing vibe,

1:18

and the beats will fade out when your workout is

1:20

officially over, though the music itself

1:23

might tail out a little past that to

1:25

help ease you back down to earth. By

1:27

coordinating your pace and taking part

1:29

of your attention without demanding all of it,

1:32

the music acts as an intermediary

1:34

between your mind and your body. So,

1:37

with good running form, a frame of

1:39

mind that helps you get into the zone, and

1:41

music that coordinates the two, you

1:44

have body, mind, and music engaged

1:46

in a benevolent conspiracy to give you

1:48

a great and efficient workout that

1:51

also just happens to be more enjoyable. It's

1:53

been the foundation of Podrunner's approach since 2006,

1:56

and it's worked for millions

1:58

of people. So let's put it that way.

1:59

it to work for you right now. It's

2:02

week four of PodRunner's first day

2:04

to 5k program. 29 minutes between 129

2:07

and 140 bpm. Have a great workout, have fun, and keep going.
