Trance podcasts for running

There are a lot of great podcasts by runners, for runners. Many of them feature podcasters who run as they record. The listening experience is that of having your own running partner right alongside you. This can make the miles slip by quickly, especially on longer runs. Check out Running Podcasts for a great list maintained by none other than Nigel from the Running From The Reaper podcast (which is one of my favourites).

So much for talking. What if you want to take some music along for the ride? Music preference is an entirely personal thing, of course. I find that downtempo or overly emotional stuff makes the run a bit tougher. Instead, I like upbeat melodic stuff with a rhythm that matches my own pace. I'm not too keen on particularly thrashy stuff either - it soon stops having any effect on my energy level.

What better then, than a little Trance to get you in to the zone, turn on, tune out or whatever it is that you like to do?

My top recommendations:

A State of Trance with Armin van Buuren

Trance Around The World with Above & Beyond (see the TATW subscribe button on the front page)

The Sound of Trance with Jonny Monsoon (iTunes link, RSS link)
