I haven't updated my music in years and have no idea what are good songs to run to. Please can you let me know some of your favourites.

Thank you.

T Rex - Ride A White Swan, We Love To Boogie. The perfect pace for me anyway.

Prince - Let's go crazy

Bastille - Pompeii

Ladyhawke - Paris is burning

This week I downloaded the BBC music app. You can identify your favourite radio stations and genres of music and choose playlists. There are upbeat playlists that are good for a workout. It's making a nice change to my usual playlist!

Donnie Elbert. Little piece of leather 😀

Land of a thousand dances. WIlson Picket

My absolute fave is The Who's Baba O'Riley. When the instrumental section arrives you gotta hope you are not running uphill 😁

jog.fm/ is great to remind of songs you like! I search by BPM and then make a playlist dependant on how fast I'd like to run.

Bit late to the party, but current favourites are...

Testify - Hifi Sean feat. Crystal Waters

Dream On - Amy Macdonald

Lose yourself - Eminem

Breathe - The Prodigy

Hyperactive - Thomas Dolby

The Believers - Deacon Blue

Food Dancing (Yum Yum Yum) - MysDiggi x Sainsburys (the music from their current to ads 😂)
