Music to run to

[Couchfunky]

Hi has anyone got any great suggestions for music to run to? I find it can make a massive difference to my energy and enjoyment. I compiled a playlist called Run Girl Run. Ones that seem to get me inspired are Waterfront by Simple Minds, rain by the Cult (great on a rainy day !) holiday by Green Day, Black and White Town by The Doves and Lonely Boy by Black Keys. It would be great to know anyone else’s motivating tunes. Eye of the tiger anyone??? 😊🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Hi Couchfunky ...if you have a look on Spotify, there’s a few playlists that were compiled by jancanrun, she’d give us all a theme and we would give her our suggestions...it was good fun and the playlists are great...and I agree, the music, podcast etc can make all the difference

Try Spotify free app. You only have to listen to 1 advert then you get 30 mins of music. I listen to “music for running-easy run” it’s great music to keep you motivated.

Hey that’s a great tip thank you!

Hi. I am new to running & having just completed NHS couch to 5k & wanted a change of music. I tried your recommendation & although it is not my usual choice of music it did the trick. I ran further & faster (maybe to get away from the bad music). Whatever. It worked. Good recommendation. Thanks

I downloaded all my favourites and produced a running list consisting of Elvis Roy Orbison 60’s 70’s and 80’s Motown Party songs dance songs and play it on shuffle I need music as well to run

Lot of 80s stuff for me but I found that oddly Come On Eileen seems to turbo charge my 🏃‍♂️....
