Running on Empty: Diary of a Marathon Mum

Top Tunes To Run Too

Running is a great stress buster as we all know. And it is great to run to music . I tend to do this at the gym rather then when I am out on the roads as I like to be able to listen out for traffic.

Anyone listening to John Inverdale on Drivetime on Radio 2 recently will know he has been playing top tunes to run to. He has also kindly mentioned my book. So thanks for that, John!

My top tunes for running are:

Show Me The Way To Amarillo  - Peter Kaye

Black Horse in a Cherry Tree - KT Tunstall

Sorry - Madonna

Three Wise Men - James Blunt

My theme tunes for runners in the London Marathon would be:

Road to Nowhere - Talking Heads

Run to You - Bryan Adams

and of course:

Everyone Wants to Run the World by Tears for Fears

And for those who get all the way round it has to be:

We Are The Champions by Queen.

Because we all are. Every nutty person who has ever run a marathon anywhere in the world is a champion, if only to themselves
