I'm Steve Boyette, and this is PodRunner.

Hey everybody, welcome to PodRunner and an hour of great music in 100 beats per minute,

called Baby Steps.

I'm learning that PodRunner's usual approach to a mix doesn't work the same on the slower end of

things because your goals aren't quite the same here. You may be recovering from an injury,

or surgery, or illness, or back after a long absence. Maybe you just want to take a nice walk.

But here, you're probably not looking to set personal bests or increase your range or endurance.

You just want to get out and get moving. And so, this mix is more of a workout partner

than a training coach. More of soundtrack than drill sergeant.

PodRunner's tried and true techniques are still here for you if you want. The steady pace

that maximizes efficiency and energy expenditure, the increasing energy, even the peak at around 45 minutes

in. But they're more in the background so that the mix can feel more like it's going with you

than like it's pushing you. You want to drill sergeant trust me. PodRunner's got literally hundreds

of them on your podcast app, and even more at podrunner.com. But this should be available to you as well.

And now it is. And the reason it is, aside from the fact that it makes me happy that I can make

something that helps you and that I love doing it. But the reason it's able to be out there for

you is because it's listeners who keep podrunner going. Instead of playing commercials or distracting

you with pop-up ads or trying to mine your information to sell to corporations, podrunner relies

entirely on one time or small monthly contributions and purchases at podrunner.com.

I don't want to try to sell you cars or vitamins or whatever. I want us all to feel good because

we help keep each other going. It's awesome. It's magic. So if you're able to help,

please consider donating at podrunner.com. And thanks for your support.
