18 Aug 15 - 03:29 AM (#3731066) Subject: Folk music to jog to From: GUEST,Ottery Hello mudcat. This is my first post here, though I've been checking the lyrics database for years and years. A couple of weeks ago, finally getting tired of the impulse to bend over and clutch my heart half way up the stairs, I decided to take up jogging (slowly, on the spot) in the hope that this will make me a fitter ergo more worthy and beautiful person. Listening to music while I jog I've found helps me to block out the memories of multiple humiliations experienced during school PE. So far I've found that James the Rose (Steeleye) works quite well, since it's quite bouncy and is all about running awaaay. Any more suggestions? Thank you. |

I like just about anything with enough banjos in it. As a formerly fat, sick person, I am here to tell you that your plan will work. You don't have to run if you don't want to (or your body won't let you); a vigorous trot will do the job. |

You can download podcasts (not very folky) from the NHS at http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/c25k/Pages/couch-to-5k.aspx . |

18 Aug 15 - 05:18 PM (#3731244) Subject: RE: Songs to jog to From: GUEST,Ottery Thanks very much for the suggestions, folk(ie)s, and thanks for the encouragement! I need it. Like the suggestion of Quebecois music. I already have a CD of Le Vent du Nord. This would give me an excuse to get some more. manitas,I fear the NHS podcast would be too upbeat for me, unless it's narrated by Marvin the Paranoid Android. Is Moneymusk a strathspey or a band? |

19 Aug 15 - 05:39 PM (#3731595) Subject: RE: Songs to jog to From: Manitas_at_home As played for a ride or trot past its more of a fling but in the link given it's definitely a strathspey. I do find it annoying the way pipe bands change tunes after once through only, the ear doesn't get a chance to develop an understanding of the arrangement. |
