Best MP3 players for joggers

By Damian Koh on 06 March 2008

Runners need an MP3 player that will tuck into a teeny pocket and provide decent-sounding musical inspiration to push through the pain.

I'm not sure how many of you actually listen to music when you are jogging. I hate running, period. The only reason I would do that is when the annual physical fitness test looms, or when I'm trying to impress a chick (it's all about keeping up appearances). I realised only recently why so many people like to zone out with some tunes while they are jogging. The music takes the fatigue off their minds. It's like an out-of-body experience, if you get what I'm trying to say. So for those of you who actually prefer sweating it out rather than over a pint of Hoegaarden, here are five tiny music players to accompany you on your next mindnumbing run.

Apple iPod Nano (3rd generation)

Honey, I shrunk the iPod! The new nano has all the features of its big brother, the Classic, but in a smaller package with fewer gigabytes.
