Training in the Malverns: What a Difference the Music Makes

Location: The Malvern Hills, Worcestershire, UK
Date: 10th April

Workout
- Long, easy run
- 1-minute burst up a steep hill
- A little wall jumping and tree-climbing.


Total Time: 1 hour 40 minutes

Post Workout Nutrition: this 90 minutes later.

I got a little creative with Windows Movie Maker and stitched together the highlights, along with captions and the tongue-in-cheek application of very different sound tracks to the same sequence.

As well as wearing the head cam, I also had Mrs M tracking my every move like the Paparazzi. I was doing the thing where I run forwards and backwards, up and down in her general vicinity so that she doesn't feel left alone while I am running and she is walking. I think the camera work gave her something to take her mind off the walking. She was a little hungover and not feeling in top shape.

Interestingly, I received an email from YouTube telling me that my video may include copyrighted material owned by Sony music, but that no action by me is required. It also mentioned that I may see adverts on the video (presumably by way of indirect payment.) This is irritating, but a better approach than simply removing the sound, which is what they used to do.

I tried mine earlier. It's difficult to see where to go with the digi cam thing. Probably give it another go over the weekend and at the race next week.
P.S. you are more of a Benny Hill than a Rocky for sure ;-)

Lightning - I am happy with that provided the comparison does not extend to his sexual proclivities, which I am led to believe were a little unusual.

Thanks Anon.
