Music ??

[Shelby1973]

Hi can anyone recommend some upbeat music to run to please ? I love my rock music but even Jon Bon Jovi can't keep me going at the pace I need . Thanks 😀

[reluctantrunner76 Graduate]

Ministry of sound, best of trance is a good choice!!

[Shelby1973 Graduate in reply to reluctantrunner76]

Thanks I'll take a look not what I would think of listening to so could be just the thing x

[reluctantrunner76 Graduate in reply to Shelby1973]

You should give it a try. You'll be whooping out loud and running with your arms in the air in no time:)!!!

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to reluctantrunner76]

I can just see you reluctantrunner...waving your arms in the air like you just don't care!!!!!

[reluctantrunner76 Graduate in reply to Mummycav]

Yup, that's me. One of my favourite dance moves is pretending the ceiling is falling down and I need to keep pushing it back up. Whoop whoop:)!!!

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to reluctantrunner76]

😂😂😂

[Hidden in reply to reluctantrunner76]

Thats what i like to listen to 😊

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to reluctantrunner76]

Love ministry of sound

[mrrun Graduate]

Anything by Miles Davis, anyone?

[Feegle Graduate]

70's and 80's Disco helps me

I know it's old but Tom Jones is good for pace!

[Jododds in reply to rachaelam]

I have some of his old ones on my playlist-brilliant!

[rachaelam]

Tom Jones is mixed up with a whole load of random stuff.....Marianas Trench, Blossoms, Madness, Joss Stone, Marcus Collins, The police, Right said Fred, Imelda May and it continues.......I know it's a weird mix but it works for me! The thing is...it keeps me running...which is all i need! Hope some if it works for you x

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

What pace is it that you need?

[mrrun Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I try never to mix pace and music choice Essential It all comes down to good vibes that your music gives you. Leave the pace to the drummer!

[Shelby1973 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Something that can keep me spurred on x

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Shelby1973]

Err..not sure whether my weird tastes would suit... x

[Shelby1973 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I like alsorts . My favorite been soft rock and power ballads but gotta admit I like a bit of 50:60s and the king 😀 My mam and dad lived rock and roll so grew up around it

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Shelby1973]

Well...... dare I say, ABBA get me through to 10K... Proclaimers keep me going, like this morning...happy pace.... could run for ever...

[misswobble Graduate]

Just what I was going to ask! Slow pace would be my choice. Mind you I only used the podcasts with Audiofuel as supplied, and good old Laura.

[icklegui Graduate]

chirpy cheery 60s pop? Or funk and soul? I've been picking shows from the BBC radio iplayer (can you tell...)

Or I like the first suggestion, I think things you wouldn't normally listen to can totally help!

[miss_august Graduate]

Seconding Ministry of Sound, they have a good playlist on Spotify that I use most of the time. Dance music is the only way for me! Upbeat and repetitive and not weighed down by lyrics.

[GingerBohemian Graduate]

I was thinking about this today actually whilst choosing today's playlist.

Why not create a Spotify play list that is named *your C25k name / C25K

So mine would be GingerBohemian/C25K

We all chat away on here so why not share the music

Obviously I realise not everyone is on Spotify but for those that are

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate]

My absolute favourite track for running has got to be 'lust for life' by Iggy pop...it's just over 5 mins long and when it comes on when my tracks are on shuffle, I get a new lease of life

[MsFickle]

Hi I have Latino - if you ever went to Zumba it's very similar 😀

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate]

I like songs like 'despacito' I try & translate what they're singing about & before I know it another 3 minutes has passed!!! Apparently those lyrics are rude though so maybe not suitable for my innocent ears?!!!!!! 😂

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Mummycav]

That one is well rude apparently!! My daughter is a Spanish and French teacher she won’t tell her students what it means 🤣🤣

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Polly2810]

😂😂😬

[Shelby1973 Graduate]

Thanks everyone 😀

[Rignold]

Extreme Noise Terror

Napalm Death

Anaal Nathraakh

should help with pace

[mrrun Graduate in reply to Rignold]

Napalm Death as a backdrop for hill run is guaranteed to shed calories. Rammstein can be a bit sentimental at times but quite good for easy runs. At full blast volume.

[Branners12 Graduate]

Foo fighters all the way!

[Surreyjelbel Graduate]

ELO for me!

[MagicandCastles Graduate]

I have a right mix- mostly rock, punk and britpop I guess- but one of the best songs to run to has to be Walking on Sunshine! 😝

[Sadie-runs Graduate]

Prince and Madonna. And I sing along like an idiot as I run.

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Sadie-runs]

I wish I could run & sing!!! I try but I feel might go into cardiac arrest...I'm sure that St Johns ambulance are on stand by every other day in Brighouse when I'm out!!!!!!!!!

[Sadie-runs Graduate in reply to Mummycav]

"Like a Virgin" has a lovely running pace and it's hilarious for innocent bystanders when I sing this and run. Humour gets me through a run, truly.

[GingerBohemian Graduate]

Foo Fighters

Motörhead

Spencer Davis Group

Prodigy

Matt Monro

Cream

Specials

The Jam

Julio Iglesias

An eclectic range I think you will find

[Shelby1973 Graduate in reply to GingerBohemian]

Ooh definitely my kind of stuff 😀

[GingerBohemian Graduate in reply to Shelby1973]

Go on spotify and look for 'timowenuk' and then either playlist 'Bike 2017' or 'bike'

I listen to both when on the motorbike but one is for long distance journeys and one is if I am just scootijng around doing errands
