Shine Ya Light by Rita Ora -

"and we don't give up till we run out of desire

race to the finish and we never get tired

We are the winners cause we hold the world title

We started slow but we beat you in the final". ...love it!

And of course, "Running up that Hill" by Kate Bush! Listened to it regularly whilst doing C25K and also the very first time I ran HM distance!! (Yep, I am a fan!πŸ™‚)

Brave by Sara Bareilles (doesn't mention running, but I l love to run to it!)

There's a German group, E Nomine, a mixture of dance and Gothic, they have some brilliant songs with a great beat - my favourite one has the refrain (translated) "Run, run for your life" and then you hear the pounding of horses' hooves - I run when that one comes on!

Yes, love it. Was introduced to them by my teenage son who was quite bemused at his mother's taste in music!
