Tracks from Les Mis, Dave Brubeck’s ‘Take 5’, theme tune from ‘The Piano’, ( ‘The heart asks pleasure first’), assorted Glenn Miller tracks. My brother in law has just told me that I should download the theme of ‘Chariots of fire’! I Think I will! For a long slow warm up you can’t beat Beethoven’s 7th symphony in A, 2nd movement. 😃 For your cool down walk, ‘Skyfall’ - “This is the end...” 😂

I found 70s & 80s pop (eg wham, Village People YMCA, ELO, plus other similar) easy to hear when running - although always left house to Pharell Williams "Happy"! Good luck.

theme to "last of the mohicans", for me gives a definite boost if your flagging

Hi Dillyseesee - all my playlists can be found by searching for retro runners on Health Unlocked, or if you are a Spotify person, then my profile is here -

open.spotify.com/user/janca...

I do like to theme them, as it makes for a more interesting run (in my head!!). Alternatively, check out Razouski ’s posts, She is a real music fan and often writes new lyrics for songs, there’s always great inspiration there

I’ve just done W7R2 listening to the best 80s hits in the world ever and I loved it. Not listened to 80s hits for a while. Cheesy but good for me to run to.

Hello - I have amazon music app & just choose tunes I like. My favourite of all at the moment is The Greatest by Sia as the lyrics are perfect I.e. “running out of breath but I got stamina... don’t give up, I won’t give up... I’m free to be the greatest” it gives me a real boost when it comes on. Other than that my current favourites are Step by Step by Sia, Answerphone (feat Yxng Bane) by Banx& Ranx& Ella Eyre, Can’t Hold Us (feat Ray Dalton) by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Heaven by Emeli Sandé and Sing by Ed Sheeran. I’m not sure if that’s much help as everyone has different music tastes but that’s what I like! 😊

Hydration ideas please!

don’t want to be drinking high sugar content alternatives. Any suggestions please? Also, are you...

Ideas on how to run faster please.

well over an hour to run a 5k. Any tips on how to improve my speed I currently run at approx 3.5mph...

Shoving your mp3 player & house/car keys down your sports bra is not a good idea...

Just sayin'.... Still a bit stiff after Sunday's run this morning so I popped out for a 30 minute

Faster or further - your thoughts please

and increase the speed to get to 5k or just keep running for longer to get to the 5k.

Your Top music running tracks please!

Hi all! I want to put myself together a playlist to run to. Wondered what your best running tracks...
