What you listening to??

[Sofabeardave1969]

I was just wondering what everyone listens to while running 🏃‍♂️ in terms of music?? I’m listening to the Grease soundtrack at the moment but don’t tell anybody as I’m 48 years old and work in the building trade!!!#guiltypleasure

[oldwheezer69 Graduate]

Er.... Don't laugh but today's run was to a 1980's mix!! Starting with Matthew Wilder... Ain't nothing gonna break-a my stride.... classic!! Normally though I use an app called Rock My Run which has a lot of continuous tracks and also allows you to adjust the speed of each track to match your running pace which I really like

[Rua8 Graduate in reply to oldwheezer69]

I’m adding that to my playlist now!

[Sofabeardave1969 Graduate in reply to oldwheezer69]

Great, I’ll take a look at that👍 by the way, I LOVE THE EIGHTIES 😀

[oldwheezer69 Graduate in reply to Sofabeardave1969]

Same here I was walking up and down that lovely beach in your profile pic over Easter, lucky you if that's your running territory

[Sofabeardave1969 Graduate in reply to oldwheezer69]

Picture taken last year!! Back there at the end of May and can’t wait to run it!!!

[Rua8 Graduate]

I just asked something very similar two days ago, got lots of interesting music which I’ve added to my playlist - you might get some good ideas from that thread too My favourite run song is Dirt on my Boots by Jon Pardi (country).

[Deborahchick46 Graduate]

I'm running to the greatest showman soundtrack 😊

[oldwheezer69 Graduate in reply to Deborahchick46]

Oh yessssssss!!!!!

[Fiefiem Graduate in reply to Deborahchick46]

Me too! It’s been just about the right length for my week 4 runs. Fortunately I don’t have enough puff to sing and run!!!!

[Sofabeardave1969 Graduate in reply to Deborahchick46]

Hi, just to let you know, I ran to the greatest showman this morning, I really enjoyed it and somehow I ran 7k for the first time(I’ve only ever ran 5.5k)!! Thanks for the suggestion 🙏🏻🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

[misswobble Graduate]

I bet that’s brilliant!

Tell me more! 😁 🏃‍♂️

[notoutofbreath Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Well played! LOL Full soundtrack as my running playlist? I'm sure there are worse things I could do...

[misswobble Graduate in reply to notoutofbreath]

Gonna make you run liked greased lightning 🌩

[alexpie Graduate]

Music doesn’t do it for me so im listening to a podcast that was recommended by a running group im part of, its called ‘my dad wrote a porno’ it really makes the time fly by xx

[Nictwit Graduate in reply to alexpie]

But doesn't your laughing disrupt your rhythm 😂

[alexpie Graduate in reply to Nictwit]

Nope, not that i notice, the time just flies by

[Sofabeardave1969 Graduate in reply to Nictwit]

Yes, try doing your last kilometre to Look at me I’m Sandra D 😂😂😂

[misswobble Graduate in reply to Sofabeardave1969]

It’s great! Love it! Riz had the best part in that film by a mile!

I like the bit in Beauty school Drop Out, “who wants their hair done by a slob” 😁😁

[Sofabeardave1969 Graduate in reply to alexpie]

Will try that definitely 👍

[ClarriePan Graduate in reply to alexpie]

I listened to the first one on a run a couple of weeks ago and I didn’t get on with it. Im not sure if it’s my type of humour and also when I went along the main road I couldn’t hear it because of the traffic noise. It doesn’t matter so much with music. Maybe I’ll give it another try on a quieter route and give my funny bone a dust off😄.

[Runninginsingapore]

ABBA, billy idol, madness, guns n roses, lily allen, the cure .... bit of a mix really!

[Clarab73 Graduate]

Wonderful! I listen to hard and fast beats during normal work outs but bring it back down to Josh Groban stages for running so I don’t go too fast. Might try your guilty pleasure though. I love Grease!

[AnotherNewbieRunner Graduate]

I really struggle to run along to music as I just want to sing along so a friend recommended running to classical music... it's very relaxing, although I may have to try the podcast idea 😁🏃‍♀️

[Bells411]

The greatest showman soundtrack does it for me, or daily mix off Spotify. I’m going to go to podcasts though as I think they’re better, like being read a goodnight story , more soothing and supportive!

[Sarakc Graduate]

I like a good variety! I have made a few playlists with songs I like! Such a mixture!

I use Spotify and recently downloaded “Acoustic oldies but goodies” which I like! I normally prefer my own choices rather than a given list!!

I like Running commentary podcast too for a wee change! I find listening to people talking takes my mind off running even though they are talking about running!! But I enjoy the humour!! 😀

“Acoustic Rock “ latest Spotify list!!

[sr4363 Graduate]

I can't run without music and last nights run was to Anoebis - Boom Festival 2016 (goa trance). I probably should listen to something more befitting my age (61) but that's my guilty secret!

[Sofabeardave1969 Graduate in reply to sr4363]

Wow😲

[V3r151m1tud3 Graduate]

I have only just stopped listening to the W9 podcast, although I “graduated” some weeks back. I have put together a very eclectic playlist of appropriate songs which I’m currently using and adding to as I think of more. Some highlights:

Naked by Reef

Ain’t it a sin; Charles Bradley

S.O.B.; Nathaniel Rateliff

Joker and the Thief; Wolfmother

[Markboswell]

Hi Dave, i went through the music on my phone ansd made a playlist of fast tracks ( motorhead, some punk rock etc). I play it on 'shuffle' so i dont know what track is next. Definitely keeps me going. You need a lot if tracks though or it gets repetative.

[Windoze Graduate]

Nike running app pod casts 🤔 but currently Bob Marley and Beady Eye 😎

[ZoeLizzy78]

Iron Maiden, Bruce Dickinson solo stuff, Royal Blood, Florence and the Machine and some Arctic Monkeys. 🤘

[misswobble Graduate in reply to ZoeLizzy78]

My absolute fave at the mo is The Source and Candi Staton’s You got The Love, which was covered by Florence and the machine

It’s a belter

m.youtube.com/watch?v=PpqrM...(Not working as expected?)

[ZoeLizzy78 in reply to misswobble]

I’ve only just seen this! It’s on the album I’ve got on my phone, really cool!

[misswobble Graduate in reply to ZoeLizzy78]

It really hits the spot. The lyrics are uplifting too

[Mcdon Graduate]

I love 70’s 80’s my era x

[Stellie]

I've made a running play list. Oh god how cheesy does that sound!!

I just chose songs with a beat that I thought I'd be able to run to. Not too fast to bring on a heart attack but too slow that I'm not motivated.

Couple of examples...Robert Miles/Children. Jennifer Lopez/waiting for tonight. The one I'm ashamed to admit to is Kidd Rock/ So Hot.....my guilty pleasure 😂😂.

Will be looking through these replies now for inspiration.

[Bobbymahon]

I have gold radio on line blasting as it's just continuous music , can't beat it ..

Danny zooko

[SammieCh]

I have just switched to podcasts I find I can lose myself in these and just concentrate on keeping going and I also find the time flys by

[Millsie-J Graduate in reply to SammieCh]

I have done similar, loving them.

[SammieCh in reply to Millsie-J]

Yeah I’m listening to adulting with Oenone

[Willie42]

Started with U2, it's a beautiful day and finished with Tina Turner,Proud Mary .

Week7run2 done.🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[Hidden]

I found a Running playlist on Apple Music and I’m tailoring it more to my liking

[Amandana]

I like podcasts by electronic DJ's. No pauses between songs, but some voice-over by the DJ now and then. Here are a couple:

CLUBLIFE

Group Therapy: Above and Beyond

[JGalv Graduate]

I have been listening to George Michael, Simply Red, Adele, my hubby worries when I have music on running as he thinks I am not paying attention to the roads, if he is in the house when I go out and run, he is on pins till I get home awwww haha

[misswobble Graduate in reply to JGalv]

Yeah my husband’s same. NOT! 😁

I got locked in the goddamned park! Did he notice I was missing! Did he eck as like. Snoring his head off on the sofa when I finally got home

He said, “I was frantic” 😁

[kieran-williams]

pulled a rock playlist together and put it on shuffle never heard of half the tracks but find the strong beat really helps with my stride pace keeping it consistent for a song at a time

[Sunchaser]

Gosh this is really inspirational, I have so many ideas now that I’m going to try, definately the podcasts 😀. Sometimes i listen to music, other times i just love the sound of nature as I run around a local country park. I tend to listen to Absolute radio for a mix of rock, indie, 80s and 90s music, also love to chill out though to mellow tracks like Air and Zero 7. I use to listen to Zombie run to, must get back into that, does anyone know of any other running game apps??

[Pennyj66]

Mr blue sky, September, parisienne walkways, enter sandman, and some nightcore. Bit of a mix...

[siwhite Graduate]

Sounds of the 60's with Tony Blackburn or Pick of the Pops on the BBC Sounds app
