Does listening to music make you run faster? New study has the answer.
I’ve been reading a number of articles about running with music. The verdict is interesting:
Does Music Help You Run Faster? A Look at the Scientific Research.
I’ve never run with music (and it’s not allowed in most races), but I’m tempted to sort out a parkrun playlist and give it a go one week.

Interesting read. Funnily, I used to run with music but since the Yoga took over (and I like my mellow music with my Yoga practice) I prefer running without to be able to hear and feel my breath more, to not be distracted from how I feel during the run etc. I just like being aware of things now and music may take away from that. Having said that, back in the days the right tune would propel me forward.
Interesting! I rarely wear music but I do like to have it for a race and speed work. I like listening to my breathing to help me keep myself in check. But I like the distraction for a race.
