Half Marathon Training (Week 7) + What Do You Listen To?

written by Parita 5 Comments

Week 7 wiped me out!  Well, my 9 mile run this past Sunday took me down.  I was SO exhausted.  When I tried napping on the couch, Vishnu jumped on me and talked to me as if I was wide awake.  Gah!  I may or may not have told him that I would punch him in the face if he didn’t stop bothering me!  Haha.  Don’t mess with a tired Par!

Here’s what week seven looked like:

Monday – Gaiam TV yoga + 2 short You Tube dance videos (this one and this one)
Tuesday – Rest
Wednesday – 4 mile run
Thursday – Full body strength training
Friday – 4.5 mile run
Saturday – Rest
Sunday – 9 mile run

My long run wasn’t as fast as I would have liked it to be, but I’ll take it.  At this point, I’m focused on endurance, pacing myself, and finishing strong.  Double digit runs here I come!

What do you listen to?

What the heck do you listen to when you run?  I get this question a lot.  Because running is so mental for me at this point, I need to be distracted.  While most people probably create running playlists, I create podcast playlists!  Music is secondary for me.

Here’s a list of the podcasts I listen to:

Serial
The Jillian Michaels Show (she still annoys me sometimes, but I like her fitness approach)
The Smart Passive Income Podcast
This American Life
No Meat Athlete Radio
Katy Says
Dishing Up Nutrition
Kimberly Snyder’s Podcast
The One Your Feed

With quite a few podcasts lined up, I’m almost guaranteed to have something to listen to!

What do you listen to when you workout?  Music, podcasts, nothing?

In case you’re interested, here are links to my weekly recaps:

Week 2 Half Marathon Training
Week 3 Half Marathon Training
Week 4 Half Marathon Training
Week 5 Half Marathon Training

    Ohh I am so glad you posted these podcasts! I usually prefer listening to music when I run but during my walks, I rather listen to podcasts- the time really does fly by! I usually listen to Jillian Michaels too but looking forward to checking out some of the others!

    WAY TO GO on the 9-miler…you are doing so well with training, P!
