Most runners like to listen to their favourite music whatever their taste of music 🎶 is, mostly upbeat music but some people like to listen to ballads and even classical music while running or no music at all.

There are some suggestions on Spotify if you type c25k in the search area. I just went through and picked stuff I liked and made own playlist.

I have all sorts I have 60’s, 70’s 80’s and songs from stars that have passed away and now remade with them Philomonica orchestra like Elvis and Roy Orbison, disco and party songs, dance songs and now have the Mavericks and Dwight Yoakam.

I do find the up beat 80's quite motivational. I will try this :)

I then play them on shuffle so never know what’s coming up next. Oh have some Motown, Johnny Cash and Enrique as well as disco although sort of addicted at present to the Mavericks And a number of Dwight Yoakam songs . So have made a separate running list of these from one of their concerts so songs longer and more up beat. They have a good Latin, Mexican beat with all types of instruments played. Just make a playlist of your favourite tunes can always skip a song that does not do it for you when running.

Hi. I like classic rock with a strong beat

I have compiled an playlist by finding a song i feel i can comfortably run to. Then googled the bpm and then searched for songs at the same bpm. Its working for me atm😁
