Fitness Podcasts

For you distance-running, techno-lovers, I found this podcast from a runner-friendly DJ. DJ Steveboy creates 1-2 hour long podcasts, also listing the beats-per-minute of the track. Pretty cool.

Incidentally, there is pretty solid evidence that the right kind of music can enhance athletic performance. This meta-analytic study (that means an analysis of other people's analysis) in the Sports Journal says that it three ways:

1. Distraction from fatigue
2. Stimulation
3. Synchronicity of exercise rhythms with musical ones

Check out the article.
