What are your go to running songs?

For those of you who listen to music when running.. what songs never fail to get you motivated?

I’m making a playlist for my big 20 min run lol, and need inspiration!

I’m an absolute music lover.. in fact music is my life.. by I’m struggling to find songs that really hit the spot when running!

Thanks

Hang on. If you're a music lover and music is your life, you should know exactly what songs to play. 😉 The ones you love listening to.

I love a bit of Queen....real motivator for me and Greenday...hard not to sing though....which then makes me realise im not running hard enough

I love to run to music. Two songs that always push me on are

Baby Driver by Simon and Garfunkel

We didn’t light the fire by Billy Joel

Loads more of course but off the top of my head they do it for me!

Don't worry It is one of the tracks on the C25K podcasts with Laura. Including the warm up on week 9.

I put some of my calmer, poignant songs on to start my run and help me keep it slow, then I add faster, livelier music for the second half. I usually do 3 playlists for the new run week so I never get bored. 🎶 I am also going to try listening to podcasts or the radio and also to run naked (as in no music, no app, etc) The latter happened to me by default once and I enjoyed the freedom!

Some of the upbeat Madness songs.

A bit of pink rock at times.

I have a 80s play list that I listen to sometimes.

I've never been a fan of ACDC , but sitting one night looking for new music I downloaded ' Thunderstruck" by them it's really great 😊

I’m not a fan of Rap, but the beats in most rap songs are actually perfect for running. I select rap running playlists on Spotify. I also like running to the Smith’s and The Strokes.
