I don’t mean your favourite song, or even the one you listen to the most, but what is the song that just makes you feel like “yeah, I got this” when you’re running?
Mine is “Do you love me” by The Contours (from Dirty Dancing)
When that comes on I just seem to find my stride instantly 💃🏼🏃🏼♀️
Chelsea Dagger by the Fratellis. I even join in on the woo
Tune. Added to my playlist
Woo!
I am a oldie, the song that makes me run, even if I am out a walk is Keep on Running by the 1960's group, The Spencer Davies Group, yesterday it was played on my running Spotify app BUT I did not for once run while it was being played for 3 reasons.
1:-I had ran a 10K the previous day
2:-I was due to run a 5K the following day, which I did this morning.
3:-I had my old trainers on which could have caused me a injury, nevertheless it was tempting to run while that music 🎶 was being played.
I had to check with that one. Once I listened I knew it, just hadn’t known who it was by. Added
A lady called Jancanrun invited runners to compile a list of their favourite songs for running, I chose that track, I asked her to put that song on the Spotify list, it's now there, that's where I heard it yesterday when out for my walk, I go a lot of walks and listen to a lot of music, I have cycled for many years but not as often as I used to and now run as well, I never have music with me when cycling and recently I have not had any music while running either.
Just downloaded The Rocky Story album, all the best tracks from all the Rocky movies, those should get me moving 🏃♂️🥊
Yep, love the Rocky soundtrack. Started my week four to Gonna Fly Now
This is the only thing I listen to. Love the Rocky sound track. It definitely pushes me in the last few minutes when my body wants to quit but I refuse to give in.
Repentless by Slayer... but I do decide when it goes on... if my headphones are on I’m usually not listening to anything until the last few minutes.
I think I’d die if I tried to run to that right now 🤣🤣
I rarely try to match my music to my feet... on the odd occasion that I do listen to music for a whole run I have a problem as my musical tastes mean it’s going to push me too much, so I build the playlist with the fastest stuff from my music, then I don’t even try to keep up!
One more time ..Daft Punk. Saw me home on my graduation and first 5K. 🏃🏼♀️
Love that song. I love associating music with memories. You’re going to get such a buzz every time you hear that song now
Definitely and it was a coincidence each time as my playlist was on shuffle! C25K magic?
Mine varies from the motors (late 70’s) wham, kylie, right up to Taylor Swift. I change it quite regularly but like to listen to something which would Normally get me on the dance floor after a beer or two...
I’m quite eclectic too. I tend to like individual songs rather than artists.
and here’s me thinking “it tricky” to run to “walk this way”
When I ran w5r3 (2o mins) I was listen to the radio and Tonights gonna be a good night by the Black eyed Peas came on . I was a couple of minutes from the end and this really pushed me on when I thought my legs were going to fall off!!
Ohh Chelsea dagger forgot about that, but it’d make me go too fast. One I like at the moment when running is ‘we’re not gonna take it’ by twisted sister. Get it stuck in my head all day though when it comes round on my playlist.
I listen to a Apple Music Dance playlist when I run and just hit shuffle, I don’t know what it is but when the Dua Lipa track, Physical comes on it gives me an extra push 😊
Michael Buble “It’s a Beautiful Day”, Alice Cooper “Poison” and Ed Sheeran “Castle on the Hill”. A pretty mixed bag but they all do it for me!
down by the jetty Dr Feelgood
From Paris to Berlin - Infernal. Seems to match my stride perfectly!!
There’s a few on this thread that I’m adding to my playlist 😊
Love that one - used to do the squat track to that in Body Pump many moons ago!
I graduated to Tiny Dancer by Elton John. Something the kids added on after watching Rocket Man😁
Quite a few different ones, but “do you love me” is definitely on my list and always makes me smile when I hear it! The other ones are for example “crazy little thing called love” by Queen or “hit the road Jack” by Ray Charles 😀
She’s Got Me Dancing by Tommy Sparks. Recommended by a fellow runner and now it’s one of my favourite running songs.
What’s on your playlist?
Strava/Fitbit/Garmin...etc? - what’s your preferred running platform (not device!)?
Wk5R3 and the Sheep Traffic Jam 
Must NOT eat jam tarts before a run again...
Second consolidation run (and jam warning)
