🥇🥇🥇🥇 Just over five weeks now until HU Spring 2025 on 27th April!!!🥇🥇🥇🥇

Have you signed up yet? If not, then come on, what are you waiting for? !!!

It’s not too late and you can run or walk the distance of your choice: 10k, 10 miles, HM, MM or FM!

Full details can be found in our pinned post here: healthunlocked.com/marathon...

⭐ Event playlist🎶🎧⭐

The main purpose of this post! We need your suggestions!!!

We will put together a new playlist (on Spotify) and it’s time to tell us what music 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! Let us know the artist and title and any special version information, if applicable.

We'll add your suggested tracks to the event spreadsheet (page 2) so you can see what you’ll be running or walking to on the day 🎶 Nearer the time we'll give you a link to the playlist itself.

So, please, it's time to get thinking and give us your best tunes. Get your choices added now by commenting below!

⭐ Strava club ⭐

Remember, if you're a Strava user, or fancy joining up, we have a club for this event. If you join you'll be able to see your fellow eventers and give and receive kudos for your training runs. If you would like to be part of the club, send us a 'request to join' using this link: strava.com/clubs/HUspring25

⭐ Training ⭐

We hope your training is going to plan and everything is on track. If not, what can you do to adapt? Obviously you can be flexible on pace, or even on distance (changes can be made right up until the last minute, no strict rules here!), but maybe there are other ways to embrace the way things are turning out.

Do let us know how you’re getting on. We truly love hearing how it's going - good or bad, we're ready to cheer or to commiserate and support.

Have fun, take care, enjoy your runs and happy training everyone 😍

Your Team     Irishprincess ,     Beachcomber66 and me xxx

Hi Linda, ooo I love these playlists of everyone's favourites. .... At the moment I'm listening to a lot of T Rex, I find it's a good rhythm to dance or run to.open.spotify.com/track/4R5q...

And another I didn't expect to be so bouncy is Paul Simon.....

open.spotify.com/track/71Gv...

Diamonds in the soles of her shoes, another old but great song

Brilliant Sue. That will get us started very nicely 😊

What's the best T Tex track(s)?

SueAppleRun profile image
SueAppleRun10 Miles in reply tolinda9389

Sorry, I thought the link was the track, I'd say either Ride a white swan or Hot love,

Oh and maybe add Queen, radio ga ga 😁 any of those are uplifting with a good beat

You know I love my epic tracks but they are not to everyone’s tastes. More traditionally, I love Behind The Mask (Eric Clapton), Bad Moon Rising (Creedence Clearwater Revival) and Back To You (Lost Frequencies, Elley Duhé & X Ambassadors) as they always perk me up on runs.

In other news, I went to my running shop yesterday for new shoes and they were closed! So no new shoes yet ☹️

You'll love the shoes al the more once you get them!Thanks for the nominations. How about adding an epic track too? Mix it all up a bit 😍

I’ll have a think …

Yay! Playlist! There are soooooo many tracks, so I’ll try and be succinct with 2:

Goddess on a Hiway - Mercury Rev open.spotify.com/track/40MT...

and

Race for the Prize - The Flaming Lips open.spotify.com/track/1RZl...

Thank you! Now to join the club again 😍

Ooh! I think I've found recently that country(ish) works well on my longer runs - seems to strike a nice balance of sing-a-long and about the right pace to stop me doing anything silly. But also it's summer so we'll add something there too:

Six Days on the Road - Taj Mahal

For summer:

Christopher Walken on Sunshione - Shawn Lee, Princess Superstar

*and I joined the club too!

Ahh. I saw someone I didn't recognise!!! I'll add you now.The more mixed our music is, the better. Will add these to the list, thank you 😊

Awesome! Thanks

Thanks Linda, as we've now booked a holiday in the week immediately before, I am likely to do my run in the middle of the week allocated.

My plan is to get a 10km in each week up until then, I did one yesterday, and get some goal pace intervals (and some "hills" if I can find them!) into my other workouts.

Largely sticking with my Greg Garmin Coach 10km plan. There's a good variety and he seems to think I am going to achieve 57.30 (!) but I am not so sure... somewhere around the hour mark I'll be delighted.

Thanks for all the info and prep work. x

That sounds awesome! I'll make a note of the midweek run so we keep an eye out and cheer for you at the right time 😊

Hi Linda, I’m so looking forward to that new badge ….. the fact I’ve run zero miles since last weekend’s PR doesn’t bode well training wise, however. Still, I’ll be doing what I can in the next few weeks and by hook or by crook I’ll get there! Seems to be a running theme with my running at the moment!

Anyway, here are my tracks. I love Fleetwood Mac, and these are a couple of my favourites.

open.spotify.com/track/4bEb...

Thank you!

You always get there Cheeky! Sometimes it's truly remarkable ... but that's you 🥰

Thank you for the tracks, adding them now!

Hi  linda9389 , I don’t do Spotify and will be running to my iTunes running playlist . It was amazing how many tracks we had with running or walking in the titles amongst our joint CDs.

A few popped up on my 9k run this week that seem to match my 10k running pace so I will throw them into the pot.

I’m Walkin’ - Fats Domino

Hero - Enrique Iglesias

Can’t Run But - Paul Simon

Of course the one that always gets me over the line is Come on Eileen - Dexy’s Midnight Runners

linda9389AdministratorMarathon in reply toDexy5

Perfect Dexy, thanks for those. That last one is my answer to 'what will get you on the dance floor?' (question on my daughter's wedding RSVP) 😍

Dexy510 Miles in reply tolinda9389

Many a time I was dragged on to the dance floor to perform while my ‘friends’ encircled me. 😂
