Music is the answer. W9 R2

I’ve been running to get some headspace during the lockdown and haven’t had any music on to give me time to think. Today I decided that I needed something lifting. Made a quick playlist of ‘happy tunes’ and managed to run 1/2 a km more in the 30 mins run time than W9 R1!! Super happy with that! 1 more to graduate and then my new goal is a 35 min 5km xx

What a success - top tune tips? I have about a dozen playlists (Run in the 80s being today’s choice...) and would love further inspiration.

So today I had

Born slippy - underworld

Paradise - George Ezra

Black magic - little mix

How you remind me - Nickelback

Can’t feel my face - the weekend

Titanium - David guetta

Love and pride - King

She’s a rainbow - Rolling Stones

Islands in the stream - Dolly!

I was buzzing when I got back!

Good for you! Some people like to listen to the birds singing, others like comedy or mind improving podcasts. I love my music playlists - it's part of my running experience.
