Music while running. Another "who knew..." moment

Jo Wiley's playlist - highly recommend 👌. Today W1 R2 made the bold decision to listen to music while running. Hadn't wanted to before thinking (such are my levels of hyperchondria) that music would mean I wouldn't be able to listen to my body telling me if I was having a heart attack or stroke! Well what a revelation! 20 minutes in and Steve Cram asked "how you feeling" and I wanted to tell him sssh Steve I'm in the zone with the wonderful George Michael at Club Tropican 🏖 " Just did the most enjoyable warm down (which I normally hate) grooved along by the cracking B52s 🎵🎶🎼🏃‍♀️❤️

I enjoy listening to music and last time I did C25k I started to listen to some podcasts too. It’s just great to get some proper ‘me’ time. Good luck and keep going ☺️

For me, music and running go hand in hand. It beats listening to my wheezing chest and clomping feet :) It can be really motivational too and helps with longer runs. Just watch out crossing roads :) Glad you are enjoying it!

Oh I’ll try that playlist. Is it the one called “Jo Wiley’s Shiny Happy People Music” on BBC Sounds?

It seems you can download it, so good for runners without good mobile reception.

Great pointer!

Yes its the Shiny Happy People Music. I only found it through C24K app but access it through BBC Sounds app. Good idea to download. Happy running 🏃‍♀️ 😊
