0:21
get into
0:22
it number two run with a metronome easy
0:26
run and sync with a metronome set to a
0:28
specific BPM beat per minute this could
0:31
be on your watch or in your headphones
0:33
remember BPM is just the same as steps
0:35
per minute my garment 4Runner and most
0:37
run specific SmartWatches made in the
0:39
last four to 5 years will probably have
0:41
something like this I personally hate it
0:44
I can’t stand it I tried the vibration
0:46
audible alert and both at the same time
0:49
and it was just weird after about a
0:51
minute or two there are better solutions
0:52
that I’ll touch on in here in the
0:55
steps number four run with Spotify
0:58
playlist easy to
1:00
run with a Spotify playlist based on
1:02
your taste that analyzes music around a
1:04
specific BPM this is super easy just
1:07
open up Spotify free or premium and type
1:09
your BPM of choice into the search like
1:12
literally 180 BPM Spotify will
1:14
automatically create a playlist based on
1:16
your music listening style so your whole
1:18
history this playlist include music that
1:20
you have listened to or would listen to
1:23
and now you can run to songs that are
1:25
around that BPM note it is not perfect
1:28
take it all with an Absolut abute grain
1:30
of pink Himalayan rock salt some songs
1:32
are not at the bpms due to many factors
1:34
like the AI Miss analyzing it or the
1:36
song changing bpms naturally throughout
1:39
sometimes a song will be 182 bpms when
1:41
I’m trying to get 180 but you can delete
1:43
those tracks if you don’t like it it’s
1:45
not working future Darren here I know
1:47
you want to be able to increase your run
1:49
Cadence ASAP so to make it easier for
1:51
you to go out and just do it I created a
1:54
free six-month download trending plan
1:56
specifically that allows you to increase
1:58
your run Cadence 1 % better each week
2:01
and slowly adapt your biomechanics why
2:03
so slow because if you change your run
2:05
form too fast you can injure yourself
2:08
and the change won’t last be smart and

2:39
in your running life let’s get back into
2:42
it number eight get a DJ mix of songs
2:46
moderate this is the most granular
2:48
specific and my current favorite you can
2:50
pick the exact music you want and get
2:52
the exact steps per minute while
2:54
enjoying what’s actually in your head
2:56
and your body naturally goes to the flow
2:57
this is the advanced version of the
3:00
metronome get a DJ Mix that is mostly
3:02
the same bpms of songs you like can
3:05
tolerate and then match it precisely to
3:08
the BPM you want drum and bass and
3:10
Hip-Hop are best for this as the nature
3:12
of the genre is around 170 to
3:14
190 bpms you just need to do mental math
3:18
and multiply two for hip hop if it’s 85
3:21
to 90 BPM so just 85 is 170 90 is 180
3:24
the challenge is that this will require
3:26
you to download an MP3 of the of the DJ
3:29
Mak and the VLC Player app on your
3:32
smartphone so there’s an app called VLC
3:35
then every time you open the app set the
3:37
BPM to your choice with the actual
3:39
percentage so it goes you can speed
3:42
something up with a ratio of 1.0 to 2.0
3:44
3.0 times if you want to listen to a
3:46
podcast or something but you need to
3:48
just speed it up just like
3:50
1.02
3:51
1.04 which I am visually showing you on
3:55
this video podcast if you’re listening
3:56
highly recommend go watch it or check
3:58
out the website or show not I’ll have a
4:00
video on this so you need to work out
4:03
through trial and error what the actual
4:06
BPM is that you’re going for so I know
4:09
certain mixes I need to get them to 1.04
4:12
to be 180 to 182 BPM if you want to
