Dancing by the end of W6R1

I've been choosing tracks to run to- everything from

This- open.spotify.com/track/3F41...

To this-

open.spotify.com/track/1ljz...

and to my surprise I found myself doing little dance moves with my arms towards the end of this run!

The whole thing is good magic, I swear it is

Music does help my runs so much

Music is so helpful- I was flagging tonight and Black Eyed Peas’ Pump It came on - it might as well have been the Rocky theme. Was so rhythmic to run to. Probably looked a right wally but who cares? 😀

Yeah! Good song! Exactly, who cares? I wonder what the Chariots of Fire theme-tune would do?!

Music has total got me through this. Meatloaf got me through the first 20 min run (I actually did a bit long than 20 as I ran till the end of the song!)

Here's my list which your welcome to follow/use it's a bit eclectic in places and does come with an advisory on language!!! Sometimes you just need a good swear word to push you through!!!

Imagine dragons, there is a couple of theirs on there. It's best played on shuffle.

There are some great songs on there Squeaky.

I like trying to keep the beat with my steps when running. Being a fan of rock/metal that can be challenging lol

My personal favourite is Run (excuse the obvious pun) by Foo Fighters, definitely a good tempo to run to and has some slightly slower sections so it’s like doing interval bursts
