W8R1... done, no wobbles, no stopping!

Tonight was the first time I really felt good *during* a run. Same route, same gear, same everything. The difference: Best of Depeche Mode (no pun intended)! Just the right rhythm and pace for my legs and lungs. Feeling less puffed, more chuffed! Being a teenager of the Eighties helps!

I used to love Depeche Mode, I’ll try listening to them on my run tomorrow!

Aha just answered your earlier post...

If you want 80s music - then I have some playlists you might like to try....

Just checked out your playlists. They are great. 😁

More to follow - if you have Spotify - search under retro runners - I have a few rather silly ones going on, but my current fave is dedicated to mummycav!

You’ve got Electric Barbarella on there! As Ferne Cotton might say: “TUUUNNNE!!!!”
