HU10K/10 MILES EVENT: WE NEED YOUR MUSIC CHOICES 🎶🎶

[Irishprincess]

Hi everyone,

The days are slipping by and we hope your training is going well for the above exciting event on Sunday 19th May (or if you can’t make that day you can still do it between Monday 20th until Sunday 26th May).

If you haven’t signed up then what are you waiting for? It’s not too late and you can run or walk the 10K, the 10 miles or both! Full details here so let us know if you’re up for the challenge!

healthunlocked.com/marathon...

We aim to put together a music playlist (probably Spotify) and it’s now time to tell us what inspires you. What keeps you going or even gets you started? What gets you up that hill? We want to know your most inspirational music, the more tracks the merrier so don’t give us just one!

Your suggested tracks will be added to the spreadsheet (page 2) so you can see what you’ll be running or walking to on the day 🎶

So, get thinking and go forth runners/walkers and give us your best ⭐️🎶🕺💃🎺

From your team linda9389 , Beachcomber66 and me xxx

See if you can fit this one in, might be a bit fast for those who run to the best though.

If not this one is an old favourite

A great start Sue 👍 and this first one would certainly get everyone going 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

[Annieapple]

🍏🤣For me it has to be Michael Buble On the middle split.. open to something faster to bring it home 💪

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Annieapple]

Sorry Annie, I have no clue about Michael Buble songs. Can you give me the song titles please.

[Annieapple]

🤣 Probably showing my age!!

It’s a beautiful day

Come dance with me

Feeling good

Sway

There are loads and loads! However more than happy to go with other choices

Thank you!

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Hello Irishprincess, I don’t subscribe to Spotify and don’t like the adverts on the free version so I’ll be using my own iTunes playlist. Howeve , that doesn’t stop me throwing in a few suggestions for you.

Come on Eileen- Dexy’s Midnight Runners

These Streets - Paolo Natini

Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush

Just shout if you need more…..

It will be lovely to run virtually with you all again in May.

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

🙂

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

I’m a user of iTunes too Dexy but Spotify seems to be more popular around here.

Thanks for the suggestions. Keep them coming, the more the merrier 🙂

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

brilliant choices Dexy!!!😁

[CBDB]

Muuuusssiiccc!!!

I cannot decide on single songs so here is first a playlist with all sorts of running classics open.spotify.com/playlist/4...

But my favourite playlist at the moment is this one with some very unusual, and some less known choices: open.spotify.com/playlist/7...

So feel free to choose any one or more from that list!

Can’t wait to run to it!

[misswobble Marathon in reply to CBDB]

Golly! The Turtles! Imagine ……. 😁

I’ll be singing this all day now 🎵🎶👌

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to CBDB]

Too many to choose from! Can you tell me your bestie, bestest favourites 🥰

[CBDB in reply to Irishprincess]

Second list:

- mr blue sky (ELO) is a must, I think

- and I just am hung up on „26A: Clouds in the Sky” by NITS

and from the first list:

- Masterpiece, by Jessie J

- Happy, by Pharrell Williams

- Der Affe, by Ganz schön Feist

Got to stop now, as otherwise I’ll give you the whole list! Thanks for doing this!

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to CBDB]

That’s fab. Thank you!

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon in reply to CBDB]

My Blue Sky - ELO - love that song!!! Saw them live in Hyde Park a few years ago and absolutely brilliant!!

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to CBDB]

You cant help but smile when ‘Happy’ comes on , and coach Bennett says smiling is good on a run as you relax.

[Reggit Marathon]

are you really sure you want my suggestions - they’ll be random and probably not to everyone’s taste….

Courteeners - not 19 forever

Neil Diamond - sweet Caroline

Rammstein - Du Hast

Levellers - one way

Stone roses - waterfall

Heart - all I wanna do

Faithless - insomnia

Sam Fender - 17 going under

I could go on, my music taste is all over the place.

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Reggit]

Looks great! Thank you.

My taste is definitely not for everyone (big, epic orchestral battle music) but thank goodness we’re all different 🙂

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon in reply to Reggit]

Faithless - insomnia - what a tune!!!!! brilliant, has to be played at top volume!!😁

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Hedgehogs123]

Have you got any you’d like to add to our playlist Hedgehogs123 ?

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

A lot of them have already been mentioned . Coach Bennet from NRC has put a brilliant playlist together on Spotify, all the old 80's, which I love and I use all the time. So I'll have a look again at them tonight and suggest some.😉

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Ok, here's some of my fave songs ......... Not repeating some of the ones already mentioned :

Blue Monday - New order

A little Respect - Erasure

Lets Dance - David Bowie

Flashdance - what a Feeling - Irene Cara

Back in Black - ACDC

Only You - Yazoo

Pour some sugar on it - Def Leppard

Dancing in the Dark - Bruce Sprngteen

White Wedding - Billy Idol

Beds are Burning - Midnight Oil

Sweet Child of Mine - Guys 'n Roses

Heart of Glass - Blondie

Relax - Frankie goes to Hollywood

Jump - Van Halen

Think I'll stop now, I could go on!!! 🤗

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to misswobble]
