Running music

[The-K-is-Silent]

Progressing through the Couch to 5K plan quite nicely now. The right music helps, I can recommend a bit of Black Sabbath. Any other suggestions for good running songs?

the Sabbath!! Yep, Queen Bitch David Bowie, Love will tear us apart Joy Division, Touch me Doors, Led Zepp- living loving maid, all soul is good for tempo such as helpless kim weston. I use my own music as its part of the run for me!

Another couple of good choices are Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd, and You Don’t Love Me by Dawn Penn (just to show I’m not just into 70s rock!)

running to your favourite music is the correct music to run to, no matter what it is, you don't want to run with heavy metal music or rap in your ear if you hate that, music with a beat in it like the 5k app with Laura is about the write music to run to.

I actually like running to FleetwoodMac ...... 🎶you can go your own wayyyyyy🎶 Amongst others like Duffy, Paulo Nutini and of course The Who.. bit of Baba O’reilly, nice!

Me too, I'd say 80% of my runs are to Fleetwood Mac, to the extent that when the tech failed on Sunday morning I just sang it to myself anyway!

Lets not forget The Eagles too!

I was running to Paranoid today 😃👍. Gene Genie is good I really like Wilson Picket Land of a 1000 Dances

I have lots of faves 😃. I love Canned Heat, esp On the Road again, the harmonica bits are hypnotic

My fave today was The SOurce and Candi Staton You got the Love

Meatloaf, Greenday’s Nice guys finish last 😁

The Spencer Davies Group, Keep on Running, years ago I was at the athletic club's annual dance that my wife was a coach, they kept playing that song over and over, everyone loved it.

The instrumental bit in Baba O’Riley is crazy 😁.

[Whatsapp Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Love running to that song.

Any song that resonates with you and pushes you through is good. Whether thats because of an upbeat rhythm or the meaning in the lyrics. I like to run to a real mix.

Nice! How about some fast early Metallica and Ace of Spades by Motorhead? Also Please Don't Touch by Motorhead+Girlschool

[The-K-is-Silent Graduate]

Seeing a lot of metal!

[misswobble Graduate]

Born to be wild, Whole Lotta love, smoke on the water. This Flight Tonight by Nazareth is fab! Hope ya got yer heat turned on baby! 😁👍

I like a drop of Creedence myself. Their version of Heard it through the grapevine is not like anything you heard before 🙂

I am quite into Bob Dylan at the moment as his longer songs with non-repeating lyrics that tell a story are good for my longer runs

Some great choices, my running music is quite eclectic, The Clash Pink Cadillac, Cake Short Skirt Long Jacket and Schubert Death and the Maiden are current favourites. I’m rather enjoying running to chamber music generally at the moment.

Spencer Davis group! Wotsisname was in Traffic before that. Steve Winwood? That’s the fella. Great tune! 👍
