As you know I love to run. When I’m running in Chamonix I like to feel connected to my environment as it’s so gorgeous but in the UK I like to drown out the traffic and stifle the boredom with a running playlist on my iPhone.
I was recently tempted to buy at 80′s hits album (yes, I am a Duranie) but when I looked through the 60+ tracks on the album, I realised I only liked 30 of them and only loved 10 making it not such good value. So I’ve been compiling my own 80′s playlist – here are my songs so far…
- Adam & the ants – Kings of the wild frontier
- Ultravox – Vienna
- Soft Cell – Tainted love
- Human league – Don’t you want me
- Simple minds – Don’t you (forget about me)
- Thompson twins – Hold me now
- Kajagoogoo – Too shy
- Tears for fears – Mad world
- Blondie – Heart of glass
- The Mission – Wasteland
- Culture club – Do you really want to hurt me
I know there’s no Duran Duran on here but that’s because I already own everything they’ve ever made! This playlist should keep me going for an hour’s run.
Update:
Slight change – my 80′s running playlist now looks like this…
- Adam & the ants – Kings of the wild frontier
- Ultravox – Vienna
- Thompson twins – Hold me now
- Kajagoogoo – Too shy
- Tears for fears – Mad world
- The Mission – Wasteland
- Curiosity killed the cat – Down to earth
- The teardrop explodes – Reward
- Frankie goes to Hollywood – Welcome to the pleasuredome
Yeah baby!!
