It’s runtastic pop-pickers! 🎧

One of the unexpected joys of my consolidation runs has been the opportunity to listen to music of my choosing for 30 minutes without any interruptions - not something that normally happens! I couldn’t run without music and I’ve found that different tunes have a different impact

My hairdresser had this on in the salon at the weekend and when I got home I bought it straight away but resisted listening until today.

If you were a teenager in the 1980s growing up in the northwest of England, living for Friday evening in the nightclub, (fake ID in your pocket, 10 consulate in your bag, bottle of Dubonnet that someone’s older brother had bought you under your coat and white stilettos on your feet - come now, you know who you are!) chances are, you’re going to love this! It helped my 5:45am run go very quickly anyway! I couldn’t get out of bed quick enough in anticipation of shuffling along to the tunes. 17 again! It didn’t disappoint.

Happy listening, happy running 🏃🏻‍♀️ 🎵 🎧 👠💃😃

Ooh! I had a pair of them too! Don’t suppose you had the fishnet tights to go with them? Or maybe you did! 😂

No. Big baggy pants and frilly shirt a la Duran Duran. It must’ve been a sight.

That sounds really good. I was in my twenties during the 80s, but remember every one.
