In the bonus episode of RunPod, Bryony Gordon discusses her diverse range of music choices while running. She explains that her running routine is driven partly by her mental health and happiness. To warm up, she prefers motivational content from the meditation app Insight Timer, shifting to music halfway through her runs. Her long runs playlist is eclectic, featuring artists like Taylor Swift, New Kids on the Block, and Jay-Z, mixing everything from pop to hip-hop and even film scores. Bryony mentions how certain songs help her process emotions, especially regarding personal grief. She also notes that she listens to self-help and healing audiobooks, finding them essential for her mental well-being. Additionally, she shares her preference for using AirPods for an immersive listening experience while running, contrasting with her husband's use of bone conduction headphones, which let in surrounding noise.
