I do this too! I have to admit that I listened too all the Harry Potter Books this way, but I love the idea of the development books too. Rock on… or rather Read on!

I tell people this all the time but not too many people try them. I pick all of mine up from the library for free. I associate different parts of the trail with parts of books.

This is so awesome!
Since my kids were born, finding time to read has been quite challenging for me…this is perfect! Thanks for your always inspiring blog! <3 I’m off to down load some books…

I love how many people run and read at the same time! I thought I was the only one, too! Can’t wait to download the suggestions everyone has made – I’m almost done A New Earth! -Rebecca

I’m surprised that they wrote an entire blogpost about this–I thought I was the only nut who did this! I run while listening to podcasts from NPR. In particular, Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me because it’s informative and it’s hilarious as well as Talk of the Nation because it keeps me up to date on the week’s news (and I have a soft spot for Neal Conan’s great radio voice!)

Love this post Rebecca!

I’ve started doing my workouts at home and at the gym to Brian Tracy’s Psychology of Achievement and I am seeing the benefits for sure

I just started doing this the other day after running iPod free for over 2 yeras. Running without headphones just seems more pure and I can focus better, but I figured if I’m going to be running several hours a week, I might as well get some reading done. I got half way through Super Freakonomics on last week’s long run. Born to Run is also a great one to motivate you to be able to go the distance.

I love listening to audiobooks while running. That’s what got me through my training for my first marathon since I trained completely on my own. I like mysteries and chick lit books (they’re light, fluffy and not too intense!). I have listened to some humor books, but sometimes it’s a little weird when you burst out laughing while running by yourself!

I do this too! Only I listen to podcasts while I run! Some great ones are :
– Bob Greenfield Fitness
– Lipgloss & laptops
– Hip Tranquil Chick.

Enjoy!
