Old Ravers Running?

[SuperKat1974]

Hi all! Graduated yesterday so looking forward to getting some nice chilled 30 min consolidation runs under my belt - couldn't give a toss about my distance or personal pace; just glad I don't actually die after 30 mins! I'm a late 40 something dudette so stuck a load of my old tunes from "back in the day" onto my running playlist.... and found I was flying when the 94 drum'n'bass came on! Am really interested in the link between music and movement- so any other old rave bunnies finding they're feeling it when the old school comes on?!

Oh yes! 😂😂 My playlist has tunes of 160 beats per minute as it just matches my stride. It’s like a cheesy wedding party list and includes Shawaddywaddy, Blondie, Kim Wilde and Gloria Gaynor. Showing my age too! It makes me laugh and I can’t resist trying to sing along with some bits, in a gaspy sort of way 😂😂

[SuperKat1974 Graduate in reply to Frizzbomb67]

Gasping along is great! Though I wonder what passers by make of this sweaty lump trotting past singing "Rock Me Amadeus" 🤣🤣

Many congratulations on your graduation, fellow runner.

Keep running, keep smiling.

Thank you! I've graduated feeling fitter and stronger than I have in years - and with a new running addiction..... 😀

I have to admit that this 53 year old recent graduate listens to today's dance music.

I have a few old drum n bass and dance tunes in there but not many. Think i'm just an 18 yo in this older body

[SuperKat1974 Graduate in reply to Scoochie]

I agree - in my mind I'm still 21 but the 46 year old body begs to disagree 😂

[Roxdog Graduate in reply to SuperKat1974]

Haha. I'm 60 going on 25!

[Roxdog Graduate]

Must admit I occasionally have a bit of drum n bass playing! Well done, you have the right attitude about distance - just keep running!

[SuperKat1974 Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Thank you! I'm looking forward to doing my first consolidation run tomorrow and just enjoying the run - and the tunes! - for their own sake! 😀

[Roxdog Graduate in reply to SuperKat1974]

Great attitude! You are obviously loving it - I love a long run with no pressure. Hope you enjoy it all!

Just going to whisper S club 7 🤦🏻‍♀️

[nowster Graduate in reply to Hazel10]

That's a bit of a Reach.

[SuperKat1974 Graduate in reply to nowster]

I like what you did there!!! 😁

[SuperKat1974 Graduate in reply to Hazel10]

I think my cheesiest tune so far is Rock Me Amadeus by Falco..... 😂

[Hazel10 Graduate in reply to SuperKat1974]

Sorry but now feel proud of s club... just saying 🤣

[SuperKat1974 Graduate in reply to Hazel10]

Ain't no party like an S Club party!!!!

[Hazel10 Graduate in reply to SuperKat1974]

YESSA! 🤦‍♀️

I feel that the right music makes all the difference- love a bit of drum’n’bass .. struggled with my run this morning and think part of that may have been because I didn’t choose the right music 🎧🤣

[Hazel10 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I feel like you are in the place where every little thing has to be right - I remember I had to have the right pants on but I think I was just feeling cast at sea due to Laura not being there. It is beyond psychological - but so funny to realise how mad we all are! I have run for 40 mins, but maybe walked for 20 seconds and THOSE are the seconds at the forefront of my mind... now I do a bit of ‘jeffing’ here and there by choice to extend the distance. I am doing it. And so are you!! Whoop 🙌

[Hidden in reply to Hazel10]

I’ve still had Laura on but no pants 🤣😂🤣
