Hit me with your best running tunes

[Alybobs]

Thanks for all your support yesterday. It really helped.

I just finished week 1 run 2.

I must say I found it just as hard to get out of the door as yesterday as it was so blooming freezing. And because I hadn’t had a rest day my legs felt like lead. Feel better for doing it now.

Listening to Sam Fender got me into gear. I think I’m a little bit in love with him. Anyway, hit me with your best artists/tracks for running to please. 🎶🎶🎶

Great you've completed wk1r2. But please don't run on consecutive days you can cause injury that can stop you running. From now ALWAYS have a rest day between runs.

My favourite track at the moment is:-

The Weekend- Blinding Lights.

😊😊

There is lots of great reading here about running and why you should have rest days

I hear you re rest days but I’ve only got Thursday, Friday and Sundays to do this. Maybe I’ll go later on on Fridays to try and balance it out a bit. Or take hubby out with me in the dark evenings. 🤣

I know it can be tough fitting running around a busy life. Good luck 😊

Hi there and very well done I think my Amazon music and playlist is my new best friend... dont think I could do it without lol. A favourite of mine is the killers 'all the things I have done'. Well done to you 🏃🏻‍♀️🎶

Spotify have running play lists at different beats or you can make you’re own playlist from there

[Alybobs in reply to Sham19]

Thanks Sham19. I’m on Spotify so I’m going to put all these suggestions on one ultimate playlist! X

Walk this way is good - just watch out for the bell 🛎 - it caught me out the other day, thought it was the halfway signal 😂

[Alybobs in reply to Joanney69]

I’m going have to listen to it now just for the bell! Xx

Music is such amazing runspo. It’s dangerous asking me. On Spotify I’ve got a really eclectic playlist now.

Currently I like Titanium-David Guetta, Santana -Smooth, Waiting for Love -Avicii and my all time fave Rihanna and We Found Love in a Hopeless Place. Sorry 😐

[Alybobs in reply to Comfortnotspeed]

I remember dancing to that Rhianna one years ago in a bar. I’d forgotten about it. That’s defo going on playlist! X

I replied today to TurnTheTide about why rest days are non negotiable. Take a look.

Regarding best songs. My favourite at the moment is Good to be Alive (Hallelujah) by Andy Grammer. It makes me want to dance, let alone run! A good beat for a slightly slower pace is Bad Moon Rising by Credence Clearwater Revival.

I’m using an album i found on Tidal, “30 running hits” I’m loving it! Insomnia by Faithless came on just when I needed to focus and get through 60 seconds of running, spooky!

Check my posts for Speedy60’s info about rest days, it makes sense of how rest days work, maybe you could stagger your runs on the days you have available to maximise the time between runs for your muscles to strengthen?
