Hey guys,

Hope you're all well and your running is going well.
This is just a quick post to see if anyone has any favourite songs to run to and if anyone has any suggestions of songs which helps them maintain their pace.

Hmmm...well LittleLegs I think it depends on personal taste a great deal. I like the dropkick murphys for running music, and some of the tunes from the rocky movies :) What music do you like?

I did Week 4, Run 3 today and discovered that I really enjoyed running to Pandora's "Today's Hits Radio" station. All the songs were upbeat and helped me keep my pace. Good luck in your search for good running music!

Yeeah, I was thinking about buying the ministry of sounds running album but didnt know if it would be a bit too fast, I normally like to run to music with a set beat that is maintained throughout the song. Like for example I dont really like the song, "till i collapse" by eminem and nate dogg but it really helps me to push through the moments when I feel like I can't do anymore, the intro sounds like an army drill and really kicks start the determintaion and motivation plus it also helps set my running pace, so that its steady.

I think out taste in music may be pretty similar Alex20 :) so all other suggestions are welcome :)
As are anyone elses of course :)
Hope all of your running is going well guys x

I found an audiobook was really good last time I ran (Wednesday) as it allowed me to totally zone out of the running. It was the best run I've had so far - I ran for 30 minutes despite being told to stop at 25 minutes and felt like I could go on forever!
