What does everyone listen to?

Wk7 r1 this evening! Normally listen to cheesy 80’s rock - just seems to have the right tempo for my runs! But starting to tire of it and it doesn’t distract me so starting to clock watch which I hate. Any recommendations?

Hi, I’m same as you, enjoy the cheesy rock! I found a good one on Spotify called born to run 150bpm, haven’t got bored of it yet ( not sure I’ve even listened to it all yet!) find it’s a good tempo for my running, I’ll be doing week 7, run 3 tomorrow 😊

I’m playing the same one!! Agree the tempo is perfect- good luck on your run!

Haha cool! I’ve tried other rock ones but they just don’t seem to have the right tempo, so I went back to that one.

Thanks 😊

Maybe I should stick to what I’m used to! Completed my first 25 minute run the other day and really found my running rhythm and don’t want to lose it now!

I had something different on my first run of week 7 and didn’t do as well, slower and didn’t run as far, did so much better with the second run with my original music! But I did also change my route so could’ve been a mixture of both 🤔

I make up my own playlists and set them on shuffle. I'm an 80s chick at heart, but will listen to anything really - today's had mousse t, siouxsie & the banshees, Donna summer, Bow wow wow, classix nouveaux, jake bugg, avicii, blancmange, King, armand van helden, the knack, the stranglers, bastille, Lloyd Cole, the automatic automatic, van McCoy.

I listen to podcasts, which take my mind what I doing and gets in the zone quicker.
