Question

Answer 2

Answer 3

Music for me. It will help you keep a good beat. It also keeps you more focused. At least I think that ;)

Answer 4

Tv keeps my mind of my body. I keep my focused attention and it keeps my running from being boring and tiring out. I do running while watching tv. I notice 20 min go by fast.

But with music you can take it anywhere. : )

Answer 5

I prefer the music, but I also watch the TV if something good is on.

Answer 6

I have a running playlist on my ipod that I listen to when I run. I think it helps the time go by faster, but if I run outside I don't listen to it.

Answer 7

I guess for me I don't care either way. My personal preference is to run outside. Sometimes I have to use a treadmill though because of the air.

Answer 8

I listen to music. the beat helps me keep my pace the same for some reason. tv just distracts me and i lose my focus.

Answer 9

Running outside keeps me motivated. I wouldn't be a runner if I was stuck on a stupid treadmill. Try running outside a few times, you may realize that you enjoy it a lot. Measure some routes with your car, if you want to know how far you have gone.

Answer 10

Fast beat music will keep your tempo up as tv might slow you down.... So i prefer Music......... Also as a good motivater

Answer 11

i listen to music and its probably better to listen to music but nothing to dramatic which will effect you r heart beat or brain to move faster, something with a steady beat.

I listen to music- only very high energy songs with a quick beat so i can run to the beat of the music - fast pace.... TV will get ur mind off of running if u are like dying... but i still like Music soo much better
