Marathon tunes

"Other people may not have high expectations of me, but I have high expectations for myself." 

Shannon Miller

I've put together a playlist of my favourite running songs so far. If you have Spotify, you can have a listen here. If not, here's a list of the tracks:


The Beep Beep Song / Simone White
Gimme Some Lovin' / The Spencer Davis Group
Many of Horror / Biffy Clyro
Counterpoint / Delphic
Back in Black / AC/DC
Queen Bitch / David Bowie
The Orange Theme / Cygnus X
It's a Hit / We are Scientists
Spitfire / Prodigy
Hysteria / Muse
Enter Sandman / Metallica
Last Resort / Papa Roach
Full Throttle / Prodigy
Joker and the Thief / Wolfmother
Waters of Nazareth / Justice
Traffic / Tiesto
Eye of the Tiger / Survivor
Holding out for a Hero / Bonnie Tyler


What do you think? Anything you'd add or remove? Can't beat a cheeky bit of Bonnie Tyler at the end :) I always think of Short Circuit when that comes on...


I also love John 00 Fleming's podcast - Global Trance Grooves. These are 2hr mixes of absolutely banging trance and progressive trance from around the world, with a 1hr guest mix most of the time. For anyone who likes seriously good dance music, I can highly recommend it. Old Mr. J00F has kept me running through many a tough run.


Training is going great at the moment - long runs are up to 16 miles now, and I reckon I'm well on track for my target time of 3:30. 


This weekend I have to fly out to Malta with work, and I'm going to miss my wife and son like crazy. I'm hoping to keep occupied with a few treadmill runs in the hotel, or maybe even a quick jog around the island.


Let me know what needs to be added to the playlist, and I'll consider putting it on!
