Playlist suggestions ...

[Hennith]

As it seems that there are quite a few us who are running to our own music playlists, I thought it might be a good idea to share some of the tracks that really help to keep us going through those long runs. I know this is a very personal thing, what puts a spring in one person's step will probably just irritate someone else, but it might be useful to try something different now and again to stop things getting stale. What does anyone else think?

To get the ball rolling here are some that are working for me right now:

Pencil Full of Lead by Paolo Nutini

This is the Life by Amy MacDonald

Bohemian Like You by The Dandy Warhols

10/10 by Paolo Nutini

London Calling by The Clash

Barbados by Typically Tropical (good for cold mornings!)

I like shortish songs as they pass quickly and make me feel the run is passing quickly!

I'd really like to know what works for anyone else if you fancy sharing!

I was going to post something like this myself. Just out of curiosity really.

Being more of a rock indie alternative type of girl, mine might not suit everyone but is perfect for me.

Mine begins with Rage Against The Machine -Killing in the name of. Its just over 5 mins and suits my warm up walk plus I do find it really energising so I'm ready to run when I start.

I usually have it on shuffle after so its a surprise. But I have bands like the prodigy, queen, aerosmith, red hot chili peppers, queens of the stoneage etc.

I also have very eclectic tastes generally so have a few upbeat gems on there like, pj & duncans Lets get ready to rumble and will smiths Boom shake the room. Just for fun.

I didnt mind lauras music but do prefer mine.

Keep these lists coming. You never know I might feel inspired!

I've created a list from my own music, based on bpm. Starting slowly, builds up to 3 fast tracks in the middle, them winds down again. Best bit of all is the cool down walk right at the end.... 5 mins 44 secs of 'Smoke On The Water' by Deep Purple.... puts a spring in my step every time, no matter how tired I am!

Fleet wood Mac - You Make Lovin Fun

Rolling Stones - Lets Spend The Night Together

Elton John- Crocodile Rock

Supertramp - Dreamer

Blues Brothers - Shake A Tail Feather

Outkast - Hey Ya

Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot

Steve Miller - Jungle Love

Billy Joel - You May Be Right

Kings of Leon - Sex On Fire

U2 - Vertigo

Dep Purple - Smoke On The Water

I have two playlists, one for when I did my first 5k without stopping using the zombies 5k app. It had a horror/apocalypse theme and I was very amused that zombies were chasing me/reanimating to Thriller!

It was a bit short so I usually have sisters of mercy, nine inch nails, green day, levellers, green day, rem, imagine dragons, Bon jovi, Duran Duran, boomtown rats. It's a bit of an eclectic mix and has a lot of Hubby's taste in music and possibly needs editing.

[mummystar Graduate]

Beth Jeans Houghton - Atlas

Buzzcocks - Ballroom Blitz

Feeder - Buck Rogers

Catatonia - I am the Mob

The Killers - Mr Brightside

Amongst others...eclectic is probably the best word for my music tastes!
