I’m just into week 5 (using the app) and desperately need to refresh my playlist. Need some inspirational upbeat songs to keep me going as it gets tougher. Any suggestions please ?

Hidden has developed all sorts of spotify playlists with different decades and themes. I am sure she will be a long shortly with some links for you

Alternatively, Spotify have running playlists that might suit you

Spotify coming to the rescue....

If you go to my profile there

open.spotify.com/user/janca...

There's quite a few 'retro runners' playlists there - some named after our own MummyCav, mentors, Irish John, MrsT82 etc, etc.

Others are my warped like of making lists so we have weather playlists etc.

Hours of fun, although I must admit the 80s music features quite a bit as does His Purple Highness... hope it helps

I cheated and let others pick my music by listening to radio shows with the app. If you're in the UK, faves were on iplayer radio: Craig Charles' funk and soul (6music), Sounds of the 60s (Tony Blackburn), Jonnie Walker's Sounds of the 70s, sort of thing :)

I swear by ELO for a pick-me-up :)

Now that’s what I call running, any of their albums are great

Jean Michelle Jarre Concerts in China. Enya, various songs some fast and good ones for cooling down. Elton john “I’m still standing(running)!

These are good for me especially Concerts in China. There are some good running beats in some of the tracks.

Happy running 😀😀

I listen to the radio when I’m running and The Climb by Mylie Cyrus came on it was strangely inspiring 😅
