Calling all runners - what songs are musts for your playlists?

[CormoranStrike]

I’m doing C25K and will take every ounce of extra oomph in any form, and I think the right beats help.

My current list begins with Personal Jesus, and goes on to eye of the tiger and don’t stop me now.

I need some more!

Killers: I’m The (wo)Man
Royal Blood: Figure It Out
Coral: Dreaming Of You

My chemical Romance- Teenagers

Black Eyed Peas - Tonights gonna be a good night

Little Mix and Stormzy- you got the power

Lots of Fratellis/ Arctic Minkeys/ the Killers type stuff.

Fight song
I keep going to the river to pray
Ex’s and OHs
Sweet lovin
Sax
Solo dance
This is what you came for
Love story
Starships
Every time we touch

I tend to look for running albums with slightly ‘sped up’ version of songs too 😊

Built this city on rock and roll. (On repeat!)

Not a fan of this band but:

Muse - Uprising
Always makes me run faster.

Also:

Britney - Work Bitch

Gabriella Cilme - woman on a mission

Move your body - sia
Me too / Meghan trainor
Can’t hold us - Macklemore
Pump it - black eyed peas
Freaks - Timmy trumpet

I run to stuff I liked when I was a teenager. See if you can root out some albums you'd forgotten all about for years. Rediscovery of music you love is good running fuel!
