Recently got back into running and I’m a bit bored with my playlist, please tell me your favourite music to run to.

The FInale of the Wiliam Tell Overture (it's on Spotify). It's on my running playlist and has a habit of coming on when I'm tiring and always perks me up (the temptation to pretend you're a horse is good to so long as it is dark and nobody about!)

Zippy, great list just got The Man and Helena ( also 'mama' as a mother of boys ) and more Linkin Park.
Anymore rock songs?
I can't stand the hip hop or rap stuff.

I quite like running to classical music - things like Handel's Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance (Land of Hope and Glory), Mozart Overture to Marriage of Figaro - they're all quite lively and have a feeling of moving forwards.

Scott Joplin is fun too.

I don't run, but 'Velouria' by the Pixies would be top of my list if I did!
That and 'Running up that Hill' by Kate Bush.

I'm another who listens to audiobooks and podcasts :)

For those exploring podcasts, ‘Running Commentary’ is great.

Two comedians chatting whilst running, so listening to them whilst you’re similarly breathing a tad heavy really works (for me, anyhow).

I don't run but these work well for the rhythm of the cross trainer so might be some inspiration:

Survivor - Eye of the Tiger
Lady Gaga - The Edge of Glory
Puff Daddy - I'll Be Missing You (slow track but the pace of it really works)
Jakatta - American Dream
Huey Lewis and the News - Hip to be Square
Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk
Ian Carey and Rosette - Amnesia
Tommy Shaw - Girls With Guns
Village People - YMCA
Mish Mash - Speechless
The Bee Gees - Tragedy
