Has anybody any suggestions for music? I don’t use any but I wondered if that would make the run more enjoyable as I don’t enjoy it but do like the sense of achievement when I’ve done it.

I’m a v v slow jogger so something fast isn’t going to work

Just to say- there are some noisy ones in there... but sometimes you need a bit of noise to keep you going...😂

I've made a couple of playlists: one slow, one faster. Don't assume you need banging dance music or similar. It will encourage you to run too fast! Choose calm, chilled music, especially at the beginning.

My longer slow list starts with Dire Straits Romeo and Juliet, then Arms of Mary by The Surherland Brothers - slow but with a good beat.

Good luck
