Hello there. Welcome to Rumpod on this special bonus episode, The Power Playlist. Now, this is where we'll get some tips and top tips, may I say, from our guest as to what to listen to whilst working out or running.

And this week's guest is a man responsible for getting you to train and turn up to races because he organises an absolute ton of them. He is the race director of run-through events. He is Matt Wood. Hey, how are doing? And I'm throwing this on you as well, haven't I? Very much so, yes. And out of curiosity, some events don't allow you to listen to anything. They ban headphones. Do you allow it at your

events? Yeah. So the official line for, um, from UK athletics is that you can't have earphones in races, but there's some bone conducting earphones you can wear. So you can kind of get around it by using those ones. So, but yeah, generally races, people don't do it. And I think there's multiple reasons why you would, you wouldn't wear them, I suppose, because there's like hundreds of people around you all kind of doing a very similar thing. If you do put your earphones in, you are blocking yourself off to that kind of encouragement or conversation that you wouldn't necessarily have on your own. I think it's more habit that people use them on their own for training and then do it in a race. But I think I always encourage people in a race itself to kind of take them out and be in

the moment with everyone else but obviously people have different ways of doing things.

Yeah. What do you do when you run? Do you listen to something? No, I don't. I listen to,

yeah, the nature around me normally. Sometimes if I'm doing a longer run or I'm training for like

a marathon and doing a big block, I'll probably end up doing like a podcast and like a podcast like this and having a good like one hour, two hour, listen to something.

Music wise for those longer runs, I probably wouldn't.

I probably just kind of saved that until I got home.

Yeah.

It's funny, isn't it how, I mean, so many people still can't get their head around listening to a podcast while they run. And look, hello to you, by the way, wherever you're listening. Maybe you are running and you're listening to Run Pod now. But I know that we have a lot of Run Pod listeners who listen before they run because they can't get their head around listening to a podcast while they run. but I don't know about you, but I always see it as, and the reason I came up with it is because I want to go for a run and be in a conversation, but I don't want to have to talk. I want to just listen. And I felt like that's what Run Pod was. So hopefully it's like a conversation that you're kind of a part of, but you're just the one that's listening in, if that makes sense. So it's almost like, it's like something that you're chatting as you're going. Definitely. Yeah. That's what I saw as anyway. No, and I think from your podcast as well, people are going to learn bits of information that they wouldn't have learned if they just kind of went off on their own and just thought their own thoughts I suppose and that's part of it as well and these conversations you have with all these people you have like scientists and that sort of stuff these information or these tip bits going to be really useful I think for me they're the things I like listening to in terms of information that I'm going to get that I wouldn't necessarily listen to during my day-to-day life because you can't, you don't have time. And reading books sometimes is very difficult, so sometimes I'll listen to an audio book and I'll get through a good, like, 10-hour audio book over a chunk of 10, 15, 20 runs. And I found that a really good way of breaking it all up to get some education in. Have you ever listened to anything funny while you've been running? Because that's hard. Because I find it hard to run and laugh. Especially on your own. I mean, you look weird for a star. I have actually fallen. I was on a treadmill once. And in the gym they were playing like, I don't know, an old episode of Friends or something. Anyway, there was one bit in it that was really funny, and I did laugh, and I fell off the treadmill.

No, you did. That's amazing. So just don't laugh and run. It's really hard. I've watched YouTube videos on treadmills where I've done that before. So my treadmill's a completely different to running outside, and I definitely listen to something or watch something on that. And I've watched like comedy stand-up shows and that sort of thing.
