Re: Music to run to?
UK runner here too. I snapped up a 6 month FREE Spotify trial with my Virgin broadband and have a Spotify running playlist that I would be lost without.

Re: Is anyone else basically an exercise virgin?
I am a 38 year old ex smoker who has always hated gym culture and exercise and struggled like hell for the first 5 weeks, but hang on in there because it really does work.
