With the London Marathon on Sunday (13 April) we thought this week we would have a list of the tunes people might have on their Ipod while pounding the streets of London.
Two brave runners in our office have been kind enough to share their suggestions with us:
Sarah Chapman
Miles one to 10
Cinematic Orchestra – Breathe
Nicole Willis and the Soul Investigators – Keep Reachin’ Up
The New Mastersounds – Stay on the Groove
Miles 10 to 20
Random Heroes – C’Mon and Get It
zeroDB – Anything’s Possible
Elektrons – Don’t Give Up
Miles 20 to 26
Shy FX – Shake It
Quantic Soul Orchestra – Pushing On
4Hero – Better Place
Support Sarah through her Justgiving page
Ian Noon
A golden olden: Bryan Adams – Run to you
One that I listen to cheer me up and keep me feeling sunshiny when I’m running for hours in sub zero temperatures with grey clouds all around is Deee-Lite’s Groove is in the heart
Finally, a cheesy classic – S Club 7 – Don’t stop moving
Support Ian through his Justgiving page
Please note that the songs selected may not reflect the musical taste of those individuals but are there to get them through the 26 miles or so…
Of course if you are not running the marathon this week but might be interested we have a number of shorter runs that you could try including the London 10K and the Royal Parks Half Marathon . Of course for those outside London we have the Great North Run and Adidas Women’s Challenge . For runners wanting to run further afield we also have places for the Berlin marathon and New York too.
