I need Running & Exercise Music, to get my groove back [blush]

[Starbear]

Reading a Menopause Book it suggested I should do 40 mins of Exercise in the morning As I'm not sleeping well at waking up at 5.40ish am I might as well go for a run.
So I brought a NEW Sony Walkman but there is no room for my old tapes ha! ha! So with the lovely help of Clumsymum & BadgersPaws who taught me through the GEEK Thread how to download music from itunes to my MP3 player I'm sure they were tearing their hair out at various points I now need some 80's maybe 90's pop music to run to. All suggestion gladly welcomed

I want running tunes too (as soon as I can work out my ipod touch)

So far I've got 'Sisters are doing it for themselves' eurythmics Uptown Top Ranking, Nite Club The Specials. I can't remember what I used to listen to in my old 'Jane Fonda' style Areobics classes. I do remember what I wore white lycra leotard,tiny shorts, leg warmers and my lovely Reebok trainers. I suppose Flash dance music would be good!

Hellymelly maybe on the Geek Thread they can help you too

Bump

I NEED THE GEEK THREAD !! I had no idea there was one.DH bought me the ipod for Christmas and so far I've taken several er..photographs on it,and that's it. All very annoying.I can't even find stuff that I want on it, everything I like seems to be un-purchasable...

I use 101 Running Songs [see iTunes]. It's a 50-track collection. £12.99 if you don't mind spending a bit, it covers every mood!! The only problem I find sometimes when running with music is that I subconciously run to the beat which is fun but isn't always a good thing if it doesn't conincide with your running rythm!!

I sometimes use iTunes collection "New Wave of British Heavy Metal" if I feel angry or want to do some speedwork!! Just don't use it in heavy traffic as you'll be enjoying the music and not watching for cars!!

hellymelly The girls on that thread where fab but I.T is annoying because it gives you the impression that everything is easy But it's not I had to put my new touch phone in a draw and went out and brought a cheap one with keys
ftm42 I'll look at that. I want something that suits my old 80's memories too. I'm digging into iTunes now. Barber yesterday had a great old record on youtube but I can't remember the band's name 'knights of a thousand... Tey had very load Adam Ant drums and dressed in medival Knights gear The song would be right up my street. Have to go back to him tomorrow as we chatted so much about old music, I ran out of time for him to cut my son's hair (long story!)

Ha ha TENPOLE TUDOR .They were very funny.
