Have you tried the "rockmyrun" website? You can sign up for free and get 1 free playlist per month( on basic membership, some mixes you have to pay for) i have 6 playlists now, i love soft rock and cheesey 80s music, with the odd modern track thrown in and its been good for me loads of variety to suitall tastes!

[misswobble Graduate]

Shouldn't you be listening to laura's instructions?

[Sarah-A Graduate in reply to misswobble]

The app plays your own music with Laura talking over them.

[Dotties]

I'm listening to and living Meghan Trainors album, it's awesome, and sassy!

[bluebear3]

Lol @ listening to Laura, she comes in loud and clear over my tunes. I LOVE Megan Dotty, shes fab but not quite quick enough ! I Like a good beat to pace to,

[Katiej75]

No one would like mine then! A bit of Metallica, G 'n' R, heavy metal 😳😀 lol

[MarkyD Graduate in reply to Katiej75]

Now you're talking! I'm gonna put RHCP "Give it away" on my playlist and see how it goes. Definitely had Rammstein 'Engel' and Primus 'John the Fisherman' in the past.

[Joh2020 Graduate]

'Footloose' or Flo Rida's 'Good Feeling' always motivate me!

[rmnsuk Graduate]

I listen to tom odell, metric and plain white ts.

one of tom odells tracks is just the right bpm for me. those three minutes go much quicker than the rest.

[runswithdogs Graduate]

Hot chip - hold on

Bruce Springsteen - dancing in the dark

Simon and Garfunkel - Kodachrome

Florence + the machine - dog days are over

Arcade fire - mountains beyond mountains

Daddy Yankee - Gasolina

These are some of my songs on my race playlist. My usual running playlist has these on shuffle with slower music. I always pray for the slowslow songs to start on the hills (and it never does).

[Jaynew01]

Ain't no stopping g us now by McFadden and Whitehead and I'm Every Woman by Chaka Khan. I go to the other extreme with AC/DC Let There be Rock and another favourite is Stand Up by Thunder. I like lyrics That are relevant 😃

[helmal Graduate]

Call me Maybe Carly Rae Jepson

Standing in the way of Control Gossip

Mr Brightside The Killers

Uptown Funk Mark Ronson

Bad Influence Pink

Whole of the Moon Waterboys

Just some from a collection of many..........

[GoogleMe Graduate]

I've said it often but I feel that people miss out if they use their own music instead of the weird and wonderful 'Laura's own' on the podcasts. I bought myself 101 running songs as a graduation present to myself.... although these days I am more likely to be listening to the BBC Ouch! disability podcast or Infinite Monkey Cage etc

[Sarah-A Graduate in reply to GoogleMe]

I actually liked Laura's mix. Especially that track that goes "see you later all you haters, I'm stronger than you". So motivating and inspirational. (but I guess that's the idea!)

[bluebear3 in reply to Sarah-A]

I cant on principle listen to ACDC simply because its my hubbys fav lol and he wont listen to anything new as he says its all rubbish lol I feel like I would be giving in and letting all new talent down

[sprior1961]

Listened to Cheap Trick Live at the Budokan this morning.

[misswobble Graduate]

I love cheap trick's "Surrender"

Kodachrome! Love it!

[katybaines Graduate]

Hey Bluebear! Girls Aloud are cracking to run to, as well as my beloved One Direction and also Taylor Swift's new album. Can't go wrong with Queen Bey. Also I have the songs from the running sequence in Forrest Gump like 'Running on Empty' hahaha. Enjoy!
