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.
