What song to cross the finish line with?

I’m hoping to Graduate tomorrow. Been thinking about what to cross the line listening to. It’s been a huge big journey. I’m late 50’s with lots of bits missing due to the big C a couple of years ago. Started the programme to lose weight so I can have my abdomen reconstructed later this year. So I’ve gone with ‘Take me home, country road.....’ (Kingsman version). Wish me luck!!Might be raining a bit in the eye at the end of the run.

Maniac from Flashdance. Great running tune and gives you that extra burst at the end. Plus we’re all slight maniacs doing this running lark 🤪

Good Luck for tomorrow and well done. Tbh I cannot remember my graduation song but now wished I could. All the responses given are brilliant but Sharklet 69 and Stanleyboys suggestions are my favourites. Above all congratulations in advance. Very well deserved.

If you've already got there...brilliant! 👍🏻😀If not, surely it has to be 'Sit Down' by James! 😂

Whenever I need an extra push it’s This is Me from The Greatest Showman. Cheesy, but it really does work - I know I can get 3’54” more out of my legs no matter how tired I feel. So I thought it fitting to use that as it got me through some of the tough runs!

Good luck and well done! 😊🥳

I go with "I'm still standing". Cool down walk Age of Innocence by Don Henley.

Cherish it all and well done!

My selected tune for a wave your hands in the air manner would be Do Your Thing by Basement Jaxx.

Good luck! I like Born to Run ("Tramps like us! Baby we were born to run!") for the midway slump but I always program "Senegal Fast Food" by Amadou and Mariam to kick in for my final few mins. The lolloping rhythm fits my tired gait but gives me a lift. It's in French so there's also a job for my brain figuring out the words (as far as my schoolgirl French can manage!)

All of the above and the Monkees, I’m a believer!

Well done and keep on going! This is only the beginning x

There have been some fabulous suggestions. I'm going to put them all on a playlist and one day will manage to start at the start, and finish only when they all end....that's a challenge!

Many thanks Thismumcan for the suggestion.

Take care and stay safe

The song that happened to be playing when I finished my run was ‘Ain’t no stopping us now’! How apt I thought as I pushed myself to do my 2nd ever 5k! And I managed to do it 2 mins quicker than last week!

Good luck for your graduation run 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️!
