Music to run to?

I’ve noticed that I enjoy my runs a lot more with a bit of music. I love Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Kitchen Disco playlists but I’m already listening to them for the 2nd time and need new suggestions. What music/playlist do you listen to on your C25K runs?

Hi DorsetDiva …i like a bit of madness & the specials personally…I also like to listen to true crime podcasts, seeing red is a good one if like that sort of thing? There’s plenty of running playlists on Spotify if you have it?

Sounds good. I’ll definitely check out seeing red. And who doesn’t love a bit of Madness? 😁

You’ll have to add something on my post that you like 😉 …seeng red is good to listen to, just don’t listen when you’re running in the dark on your own!!! It suddenly becomes evident how scary it can be!!!

I run to Don Letts' culture clash. Also on Sounds. It's eclectic, not frantic and not too much chit chat. 🎧

big Elton fan

roseabi asked for suggestions a while ago and made a compilation with a broad range of tunes. :-) Have a look, maybe there is something there that you like for runs.

I need music with somewhat stomping beats and found out that funk works quite well on my runs. Currently it's Marc Ronson's "Version" album that accompanies me.

Other tunes, stomping or jinglyjangly (not on the list below)

The Kooks - Four Leave Clover

Jimmy Eats World - No Sensitivity

The Blue Aeroplanes - Worry Beads

Artic Monkeys - Arabella

Royal Blood - Come on Over

Royal Blood - Figure it Out

The Subways - Rock & Roll Queen

Jungle - Busy Earning

Here is the link to roseabi's list:
