Members Beck Posted November 4, 2008 Members Share Posted November 4, 2008 It's true, but I hear music in my head all the time, so I just have to dial in the song I need. Trouble is, if I get a song stuck in my head that's counter productive, like "Sunshine Day" by the Brady Bunch, It can really mess me up.

Members slight-return Posted November 4, 2008 Members Share Posted November 4, 2008 I can dig it, I used to dial some bike rides in with a playlist - at the time I had an extra beater generic "walkman" that played a few percent fast so, when I had a ride aggressively dialed, but then felt I was plateaued I'd slam the tape in that bitch and turn up the heat! (being an external source, it could sometimes push when I would want to drag) on more sustained climbs, often I'd listen to audiobooks (worked outside of Boulder and commuted to Nederland, CO which is up in the hills, so I had a pretty decent uphill at night...but the Boulder library was right at the bottom of the hill as you left boulder so I'd stop in and grab an audiobook) music for power jams, audiobooks for the hillclimb trudge, singing for the spins(breath control) and the sound of my own breathing for group riding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Phait Posted November 4, 2008 Members Share Posted November 4, 2008 I can attest to running faster. I used to jog and whenever "Dead Souls" cover by NIN came up I jogged faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members srspud Posted November 4, 2008 Members Share Posted November 4, 2008 I used to train with rock music and it worked very well. When race day came I would just load the songs back into my head and the tempos would keep me going. I won a lot of bike races using music.
