I'm happy either way. Downloaded 'Running Trax' but it seems too slow, you are always off beat when running to it. Other times its just nice to let your mind drift in peace and quiet.

Anything over an hour and usually i'll have headphones in to help the time pass, for shorter runs theres no point- just concentrate on breathing, pacing etc. I never have it too loud that I can't hear road noise etc. Never listen to music on the bike it's an invitation to be crushed by a lorry or some other disaster.
I dont mind that you cant have music on during a race- it aids concentration if you're just whipping along with the noise of the tyres and the noise of your breathing- and the noise of the laboured gasps of the guy you've just dropped on a hill fading into the background. :D

Sometimes - mostly on longer runs, but the earplugs keep falling out! Need to get some that hang over the ear, but a bit tricky when you wear glasses too I should imagine.. :?
