I've recently discovered the beats per minute playlist in on Spotify and I'm busy working out to proud Mary, which is just the most inspiring for me
What song makes you run either faster or stronger?

Eye of the Tiger from the 80s.

I have a long running playlist.
Run Boy Run by Woodkid is a good one.
Keep Moving by MØ
Power Struggle by Sunna
Butterflies by Gayle

Personal Jesus. Those first two notes are my mental cue that it’s time to start moving on the next sound

I listen to I’m the king of the swingers on the walk back - it’s early morning so I sometimes do a little dance in the middle of the road too!

Very long running playlist needed for very long runs.

Favourites:
"Go" and "Galvanise" by the Chemical Brothers
"Come on" by the Hives
Faster ones by kneecap. I can run a really good park run to repeated "guilty conscience "
