I have been walk/jogging 5k on the treadmill, for about 2 months. I am about to step out into the real world and really, really need some music. Something that pushes you on? Any recommendations?

Running to prodigy...got me from my previous 2k on a treadmill whilst dying...to 5 without even realising!

My absolute fave: Survival by Muse
My Queen faves have already been mentioned
Cheesy oldies:
Eye of the tiger by Survivor
Final countdown by Europe

So not music BUT if you fancy something a little different, I am listening to the Serial podcast while running. It's real life crime cases relooked into, bit weird but really interesting, works for me x

mylittlefidget · 07/05/2017 18:25

I second "don't stop me now" by Queen. Fab song to run to

KoolKoala07 · 07/05/2017 17:01

It's got to be call on me by Eric prydz for me!

BlessYourCottonSocks · 07/05/2017 16:59

I have some great stuff (although possible weird mix) for running 5k.

Recommend:-

Mountains - Biffy Clyro
Come on - Will Young
The Greatest - Sia
Move Along - All American Rejects
Get Ready - The Temptations
Roads - Lawson

I put a dubstep mix on YouTube when I'm on my treadmill. It's quite angsty and keeps me going!

Brilliant ideas. Love of of these. I am not fussy and will listen to anything! It gets boring listening to the same old tunes, so any new suggestions are great. My personal faves are dance, rock, pop,cheesy 80's, just not jazz or country :0)

random tuneage I know

Redhead17 · 07/05/2017 16:42

I have

I predict a riot - kaiser chiefs
Changed the way you kissed me - example
One foot - fun

I hit the wrong playlist the other week and had harder to breathe by maroon 5 which was quite fitting as it was a bad nasal morning for me

I listen to a mix bag not really aimed at running I like songs I know as they tend to go quicker so running time seems shorter Wink

Shake it Off By Taylor Swift
Mr Brightside by The Killers

They were separated by paragraphs! Sorry it's all jumbled now. Hope u can read it ok lol

Comealongpond89 · 07/05/2017 16:34

I started the couch to 5k about a month ago. The right music really helps. Some of my tunes include:

Fight song by Rachel Platten
Roar by Katy Perry
More than a feeling by Boston
Rock you like a hurricane by The Scorpions
Don't stop believing by Journey
Rockabye baby by Clean Bandit
Raise your glass by Pink

Power ballads are brilliant if you like that sort of thing which i do!

CantStandMeow · 07/05/2017 16:18

As cheesy as it sounds I have the imaginatively named "Now that's what I call Running". Some great tunes on there

IsThatYouPaul · 07/05/2017 16:15

If you're that way musically inclined, "Na na na" by My Chemical Romance is ace.

My absolute favourite at the moment.

Sammysquiz · 07/05/2017 15:51

I like to listen to Move by Little Mix when I'm running Blush

Therealslimshady1 · 07/05/2017 14:21

Pump it by the blackeyed peas is great for running!
