Interesting answers I used to not listen to music, but now I find it has the placebo effect of making me feel more motivated. It is very faffy getting the wires in the right place so they're not bouncing up and down hitting you in the face constantly!

Not sure if there is already a thread on this, but just curious as to what people like to listen to whilst running and what motivates you?

My music taste is very eclectic generally and crosses many genres, but when running I love to stick on some trance and float away haha. Armin Van Buuren, Above and Beyond, Cosmic Gate etc, even better if you have a long hour mix from friends that DJ

My New Year's resolutions are to go on holiday this year as I haven't been abroad since I was 10 and to enter my first half marathon

Excellent replies - thanks everyone for your helpful advice I will be aiming to do squats and lunges 3 x weekly gradually building up the reps.

It may be worth checking if it's IT band pain as well? In which case the pilates 'clam' move is really good for that, and a foam roller.....

 

I've just googled 'the clam' and it looks a pretty good move to add in the mix as well.

Haha enjoy Phil

Great, thanks guys It sounds stupid, but I actually forgot cycling is good for quads - must endeavour to get out on my bike more often!
