I've put together a playlist that can be adapted to your needs. This is a playlist where Spandau Ballet's Gold is playing around the finish time you are looking for

Elapsed/ Track length/ Track

00:05:03Mr Blue Sky

0:07:5900:02:56Cant hurry love

0:10:4100:02:42There she goes

0:15:2100:04:40you can call me Al

0:19:0000:03:39I'm gonna be

0:22:5900:03:59Walking on Sunshine

0:26:5000:03:51Gold

0:31:0200:04:12Every Breath you take

0:35:2500:04:23What have I done to deserve this

Just move Gold down to 7th for 30 mins and 8 for 35 mins.

Clearly you can put in your own tracks but using the timings to have a motivating song at the right time seems useful. The theme from Chariots of Fire is obviously another suggestion.

Based on the 25 minute time Spandau Ballet should kick in with 400m to go, 30 minute with 200m to go and 35 minutes about 100m to go

Just a thought.

Lol, I tend to think you can judge how old people are by their playlists (and whether or not they bother to have a playlist).

Great idea. I've got many playlists I made during the programme, used to take me hours! All different lengths for different runs! 😁

While on C25K, during the first 5 weeks of interval running, my playlists consisted mainly of upbeat and rock tunes. With their heavier beat, I found they helped to pick me up after each walking break. Once I got in to the 20+ minute runs, my play lists changed to slower, more gentler tunes as they helped me maintain a steadier pace.

Love this. Thanks

Wow!

And here I am, just making sure I get a funny (but not hilarious) podcast to start around my last 10 minutes or so, as I find those the hardest...

My favourite is still Kate Bush singing ‘keep breathing, in, out, in, out’. Gives me a lift every time 🙂

OOh! Is this on Spotify for the technically challenged of us?

[Oldgirlruns Graduate]

That looks like a really good playlist, especially There She Goes, which is an all time favourite of mine! I don’t have music for my runs but maybe I need to think about it as people on the forum all seem

to like it!
