Yesterday I ran my first ever 3K, a race that was part of the Sri Chinmoy series. The race was very friendly and beautifully organised. A dead flat and traffic free course (apart from some other runners, cyclists and the odd dog) around Battersea Park means fast times are possible. And I really enjoyed the distance. Though because this was my first attempt, judging the right pace was a bit difficult. By the time I had hit a nice rhythm it was nearly all over!

I have posted before about the possible benefits running with music. This normally involves creating your own mixes on iTunes and similar services, or using websites such as Jogtunes with music from existing artists. But a new service called Audiofuel takes things one step further, by writing music specifically for running. The BPM of the music is matched to the intensity of your session, whether it be a nice and easy long slow distance run, a tempo workout, or speed work.
Try it out with their 16 minute free sample.
