Do we know how moonstomping affects pace and cadence? 🤣

[Hidden in reply to Jay66UK]

I only tested it on an uphill walk - am testing it on a 10k run tomorrow, but how can moon stomping be anything other than perfect?

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Here here!!! Lol x

[BethMay]

Fantastic! I’m off to download it now!! Thanks all xxx

Excellent compilation Jancanrun . I've loved my two tone playlist, which I've been out to a few times, but I will add in some of the additional ones from your list. I think I may need to start using spotify, then I'd save myself the job of putting them into Deezer.

I hope all is well with you. It feels like ages since I've seen a post from you, but that's probably because Don't seem to have had much time to get on-line of late.

[Hidden in reply to Razouski]

Hi - yes I have been a bit quiet - migraines a go-go, and so I've limited my social media stuff, as I just couldn’t do the screen time - hence the delay in releasing the playlist. I love two tone and ska and test-walked this one at the weekend, but added in a few more today.

Hope you’re well? I am back in UK for one week beginning September - possibly a PCT opportunity?

I did just under 10k this morning and it’s a perfect beat all over. I loved Monkey Man and Tom Hark both of which came on at just the right times

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I love monkey man too....and rat race...the beat is perfect x

[misswobble Graduate]

Hi Hidden - gave the playlist a spin on my 4K recovery run this morning. Absolutely loved it, thank you! 😊

[sarah65]

Brilliant playlist - thanks for this 😊

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate]

I took this out with me last run & I must say, I LOVED IT!! I just had to stop myself breaking into a dance!! 😂 thank you Hidden ....buster bloodvessel’s timing was impeccable!!

[BethMay in reply to Mummycav]

😂😂😂😂 The Can Can came on just as I got to my Nemesis Hill. Just what I needed 💃🏼 (closest emoji I could get)

[Hidden in reply to Mummycav]

I love it too, it was a brilliant playlist - ran 10.4km this morning and then followed it up with a slower 5km, about 20 minutes later. The cadence just works so well - not my brilliance really - just all the contributors

[Marvo69 Graduate]

Love it

Well done kids!
