I queue up podcasts or audio-books and use it as uninterrupted me time, though I do find audio-books harder to listen to on 2+ hour runs just because my mind tends to wander by that point. I find that podcasts are easier to mentally tune in and out of.

For me it's the only time (perhaps other than driving) I can truly focus on an audiobook. Ideally a nonfiction one, so it can be paused until the next workout at any time without creating a cliffhanger.

When I find a particularly engaging audiobook, I reserve it only for running. Works really well. I've done extra laps just to hear more of the book.
