great timing

Having finished w2r2 I switched to my i-pod on shuffle - the first thing to play was Bat Out Of Hell (live) by Meatloaf. It starts with clapping and cheering and was about perfect. Happy running, people.

That's funny - I skipped the song reference and thought you ran to 'i would do anything for love'. Which might be a terrible song to run to because it has those very slow bits, and then the super fast bits.

Happy running. I know what song is going to be in my head for the day.

My ear worm for the day was 'I would do anything for love' - but you're right: dreadful running music.

Might be good for interval training :)

The trouble is I'm only on week 2 so I'll have to wait for 7 weeks to find out: if I go off script my life will go to hell in a handbasket! (oh wait, what DOES that say about me?). I notice you're a graduate tho, you could try?

Sure. I'll accept this challenge. Next time I load up my home computer I'll buy the tune.

I'm picturing running way too fast on the fast bits, and comically slow on the slow bits :)

I look forward to the feedback! (also, turns out I have to run 3 mins tomorrow - I look forward to running comically slow too!)

Haha love that song my eldest daughter was inadvertently born to that one!!!

Ooh that is a trip down memory lane. I loved that song and had forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder 👍

Well done on the run.

Thanks. I'm a bit of a (not so) closet Meatloaf fan. And much to my - and everyone else's - surprise I've totally fallen in love with running. Although that could just be this fortnight's fad!
