After run 1 i decided to listen to some music as i did run 2. Off I went with the lovely Sarah Milligan only to have "trance" music to listen to (Id dowloaded some "running tunes" which I thought might spur me on!) I almost had a heart attack.

Anyone got any ideas/suggestions on running music (sloooooooow running music)????

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure that my playlists would be any good for you as I tend to listen to upbeat music to keep me going.

[MotorbikeWoman in reply to Razouski]

I do need upbeat just not quite as fast as trance!

My music taste is seriously weird!

[MotorbikeWoman in reply to Oldfloss]

I think mine must be too!! I’m now using the “now thats What I call running” album. Good running best to keep me moving!!!!

Hi MBW, I have a whole host of stuff on Spotify - have a look and see if any appeal. I’m with Razouski I tend to run to faster music... but have a peek, I mix up the tempos, but if you hate the 80s - sorry that’s my period!

I need a decent pace (I’m 50 so 80’s my era too) just not trance!!

Big hair and knickerbockers....oh how I’m glad the pics weren’t digital!

[MotorbikeWoman in reply to Hidden]

Ha!! Blue eye liner and diamontè were my must haves back then!!

I’ve been listening to “now that... running” which is better!!

Great choice of tunes!! My jogging route seems to be getting bigger as I improve so I’ll need to add more songs to my playlist!!! I’ll borrow some of yours ideas. Thanks.

I am listening to Joe Jackson at the minute! Loved his stuff, still do of course

Martha and the Muffins! Love that!

I just got a load of new running tunes, most of them fast I have to say but I do have some slow ones. You must have your own personal slow numbers which mean more to you than any others, your smooching songs when you were 15 LOL

Mine is Still Crazy, Paul Simon. I have Maria Muldaur, Midnight at the Oasis,Something The Beatles, Norwegian Wood ditto, You wear it Well Rodders (not too slow but not too fast either). Melody Gardot Baby I'm a Fool

Brand New Key, Melanie Safka (love that un) Female of the Species by Spaced

Some good slower Otis Redding ones.

Have fun!

Best not t to think about the smooching I did at 15 😳😳🤭😂

However, I’ve found a few good running songs and am updating my list each time I run!! Thanks.

[MotorbikeWoman in reply to Cwtch2018]

Try a funny podcast? I get bored with music.

[Razouski in reply to Reb1971]

Hi Reb1971, any recommendations. I was listening to My Dad Write a Porno in the gym but had to stop as I was laughing so loudly people thought I was deranged! 🤣🤣

[MotorbikeWoman in reply to Razouski]

So funny!

[Reb1971 Graduate in reply to Razouski]

I love Fortunately with fi Glover and Jane Garvey. It’s daft and just chit chat so I don’t miss plot when Sarah Millican buts in. My dad wrote a porno is great too. I am beyond caring what other people think! 😆

[misswobble Graduate]

I like Eddie izzard 😁 very funny

I was listening to the match on my run yesterday. We scored twice! I dont care either, I celebrated 😁👍💪
