Episode Summary
This bonus episode of RunPod features Joe Wicks, known as The Body Coach, discussing his workout audio preferences. Joe reveals that his music taste is eclectic, ranging from classical composer Ludovico Einaudi to artists like Eminem, Tupac, The Killers, and Coldplay. He enjoys upbeat music that enhances his running experience.
While Joe prefers music during workouts, he listens to podcasts for mundane activities like cleaning. He expresses his struggle with audiobooks, explaining they can slow him down and that he has a limited attention span. Despite recording an audiobook for his children's book, he admits he rarely listens to long-format content lately, favoring the quick consumption of information promoted by social media.
Joe emphasizes the benefits of audiobooks for long runs, particularly when the author narrates the content, making it feel more engaging. He mentions how he could absorb more when exploring topics related to parenting, citing a particular book that helped him understand child development. Additionally, he discusses his go-to workout earphones, the AirPod Pros, which he finds convenient. Finally, he shares his favorite post-workout meal: a nutritious bowl of porridge with blueberries and peanut butter.
