Just wondering if anyone has bought, and can recommend, any of these running compilations I see advertised on TV?
I'm a bit of an indie/rock girl but am increasingly finding that poppy/dancey stuff in the charts is more motivating whilst running - I just don't own any of it so need some guidance!
I have used i tunes and made up my own playlist of upbeat stuff. I have 2 different ones. I started off listening to dance music, and the type of thing you would hear in the gym, but my second playlist which I have used more recently is rock music (which i prefer anyway)
I recommend Pandora Radio. The app works on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, and it offers a wide variety of music stations. I usually listen to the Pop Fitness station when I run; the music is fast paced and energetic and really helps keeps me going.
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.
I d/l'ed 'now that's what I call running' it's got 3cds worth of up beat pop/rock/etc lots of good stuff in there, not what I'd usually listen too but great for motivation and I even know most of the tracks
“Suddenly, I was part of something. I was part of the running community. The more open I was about my running, the more open others were about theirs. I found out that runners love to talk about running.”
