Music to run miles to…
The Guardian’s Project Marathon blog raised the subject of music to run to this morning, which is good timing because I was thinking about posting about it myself.
I find running with music difficult. I have a very specific stride/breath rhythm and music makes it impossible for me to stick to. But I do find it helpful when I want to run a) fast or b) uphill.
I also have a very odd selection of tunes on my running playlist… this are the (not at all doctored to make me seem cooler, as will soon become very obvious) most-listened-to-while-running tunes on my iPod
Frank Turner: I knew Prufrock before he got famous (watch it here )
Charlotte Church: Call My Name (watch it here )
Paramore: Misery Business (watch it here )
Simon Webb: Coming around again (watch it here )
The Killers: Mr Brightside (Jacques Lu Cont’s Thin White Duke remix)(watch it here )
Britney Spears: Circus
Jimmy Eat World: Big Casino (watch it here )
Enrique Eglesias: Escape
Nelly: Heart of a Champion
Eminem: Lose Yourself
Kanye West: Jesus Walks
Coldplay: Viva La Vida
Kelly Clarkson: Since you’ve been gone
Alcazar: Sexual Guarantee
Heather Small: Proud
(this one is because they played it at the marathon Expo the first time I ran it. So it reminds me of running. Although I only listen to it for the bit where the gospel choir kicks in)
And finally, and probably most weirdly,
Ludovico Einaudi: Nuvole Bianche
What’s on yours?
