Following on from the best ever running playlist I've made another one filled with recent favourites and songs I've enjoyed running to over the past couple of weeks, especially at Robin Hood and Royal Parks. Having a few new tunes to pound the miles out to really does give you a lift! I'm making my way through all the suggestions on the last post too - I love hearing other people's favourite power tracks so don't be shy, do share!
The tracks on this one are:
Spectrum (Say My Name) (Calvin Harris Mix) – Florence + The Machine
Call on Me (Radio Edit) – Eric Prydz
Pandemonium – Pet Shop Boys
White Knuckle Ride – Jamiroquai
Open Up – Leftfield
Miami Vice Theme – Jan Hammer
Really Want To See You Again – Sneaky Sound System
I Love New York – Madonna
Chariots of Fire - Vangelis
"Chariots" is guaranteed to get you over the finish line, literally and metaphorically ;) It rescued me in the final mile or so of the Royal Parks on Sunday! And the eagle-eyed among you might see the Olympics on the television in the background of the "Push It" picture, very fitting.
I've also written a race review of the Robin Hood half for Women's Running UK, which is now online! Check it out here.
Otherwise, this week it's all been about chai lattes and ginger biscuits.....
In other words, trying to chill out! I'm absolutely gagging to get back to running but forced myself to take the week off. My legs and toenails have been thanking me. There has been plenty of walking though. Yesterday, Tom and I walked from Finchley Road in London to Covent Garden, which was a lovely long walk, and we took in Regent's Park on the way, where we saw a guy doing laps of the inner circle on his lunch break....by the time we got to our turn-off I think we'd seen him 5 times!
It feels a bit strange to have a weekend approaching and not have a race to go to! Meh! I am still mulling over my next challenge, thank you for all your suggestions. I can't believe I'm going to write this....but I'm considering a shorter trail race! But who knows. Famous last words and all that ;)
Hope you're all having a lovely week xx
