I used to run all the time when I was skinnier, now I'm thinking of taking it up again but I want to know what sort of music people run too. I'm not very good at music, I've no idea what I like but I obviously need something upbeat etc. So what do you guys like?? Any suggestions welcome :) Thanks!

    Well, I do one of three things:

    1) Run to podcasts (they don't throw off my tempo, as songs with faster or slower rhythms can)
    2) Run to a 180 bpm playlist (you can Google them to find them... 180 bpm is the "recommended" turnover to run to)... I usually save this for races or tempo runs
    3) Don't listen to anything at all and just zone out!

    Whatever you listen to, happy running! :flowerforyou:

    Ooooh, you're good, I'd never heard of the 180 bpm thing but I'll be googling that now. Thanks!
