Friday Funnies & Cool Stuff

Need Some Running Music?
If you like to run to fast music - the techno/electronica stuff ... there is a podcast you can subscribe to called Podrunner. On the website you can listen to the current podcast to get an idea what its all about, download podcasts from the archive, or subscribe to weekly mixes. The DJ who puts them together maintains the same tempo for a full hour, from 130-beats-per-minute (jog tempo) to 180-beats-per minute (run tempo). Its a pretty sweet thing if you are looking for some running tunes!

Battle With A Treadmill
Check out Vanilla's recap of a recent treadmill fiasco, and his subsequent "treadmill manifesto".

And if you think the average runner has some treadmill issues, try running on a treadmill while jumping hurdles!
