My first run after graduating on Tuesday. Thought I would keep going until I hit 5K 🙂
I’ve found it really helpful having a running playlist on Spotify, but after 9 weeks feel I should mix it up a bit as I have listened to them a lot! Just struggling to find some new music. Does anyone else have a playlist or songs they would mind sharing.
I find slightly aggressive music motivates me more 😂 current favourite running artists are Prodigy, Pendulum, Stormzy, Jay Z and Chase & Status.
Any recommendations would be gratefully received!!!
Thank you and happy running 😊

Well done on your 5k! I won't share my playlist as it is so long, but Chase n Status is on it! I actually find that I mainly run without headphones now on my long runs, but when I do listen to music, it's generally realky down tempo and chilled, I find 'motivational' music puts me off being in the 'zone'. Try it, you might be surprised!
Thank you - tbh it sounds silly but I’m a little nervous of trying without music 😂 sometimes it gives me a bit of omph if I’m lacking. I will give it a go though and also more chilled music! Who knows it might be my new thing 🙂
I like heavy metal or cheesy pop, the contrast makes me grin and I find the combination fun and uplifting. Iron Maiden--Run to the Hills is a good one, as are many of AC/DC's more popular hits, especially 'Highway to Hell' during the last painful 5 minutes!
Well done. Always thought I liked Dance music to exercise to, I’ve now found I like the Easy 00s playlist on Spotify as I like to sing along...I just go through phases 😃
