With the Brighton marathon just days away and the London marathon next weekend, running season is most definitely in full swing. As so many of you are taking on a 26.2 mile challenge, we thought it was time to call on the running pros amongst you for some expert advice. First up, we asked you to help us put together the ultimate running playlist.
You tweeted us your running anthems and took to Facebook to tell us the song that gets you through the tough miles. You really are a brilliant and eclectic bunch! The result is a six-hour mix that includes everything from Biffy Clyro to Bonnie Tyler. It’s the perfect accompaniment to running off any Easter eggs…
For those of you that use Spotify, you can listen to the playlist here.
Are there any songs missing? We’d love to add them. Leave us a comment on this blog, write on our Facebook wall or send us a tweet with your suggestions.
