Based on my love of running, I decided to conduct an experiment to test if it makes a difference what genre of music you listen to on a run. I thought that the more upbeat music you listen to the faster you would run rather than listening to slow music. As you can see on my chart/graph the time of the two runs did not change extremely as I thought it would. I believe this happened because running is a mind game and it is really all in your head. Also the weather made an impact on my run because it was slightly more windy on my Experiment 1 testing. This made a difference in the two times because the wind was pushing against me which made a negative impact. What I have taken in to consideration is that the music you listen to on a one mile run doesn’t really matter. Even though my prediction was wrong, I have learned many new skills in the running field that I can take in and use when needed. Running is a sport that is different for each person that participates in it. Because of that, I believe that if someone else did the same experiment I did, the results could vary.
