I've never used the inbuilt speakers - I jury-rigged an old amplifier and speakers with a cheap bluetooth connection so I can blast music as loudly as I like. The inbuilt fan is a bit silly, though.

I can never manage to concentrate on a book or podcast while I'm running. i just feed off loud guitars.
Yeah, I figure half an hour at a decent lick 5 times a week is plenty. I'm not going to get back into the madness of doing 7+ miles a day like a I used to. With hindsight, that just seems mental. There were some days at weekends where I'd do 7 miles and then think 'Fúck it' and do another 7.
