Sam 45 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 When i run on my treadmill in Aberdeen i tend to watch DVDs as we have a TV right by the treadmill. Have watched a selection of The Office, Seinfeld and Friday Night Lights. When running in Glasgow i do a circuit along the Clyde. Don't run to music though, just the sounds of the weege.

Guest Gladstone Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Thought I'd resurrect my old thread...Started my training for Edinburgh marathon next year this morning. Hit shuffle on the ipod, and the following helped me through an hour on the treadmill:Friendly Fires - ParisSupergrass - Strange OnesRazorlight - Hold OnThe Beatles - Day TripperElbow - RibcageThe Clash - I Fought The LawINXS - Never Tear Us ApartKasabian - Running BattlePink Floyd - EclipseKT Tunstall - The Prayer (Didn't even know this was on my Ipod - it's from a live lounge album, and is quite shit!)Manics - Send Away The TigersFeeder - Lost & FoundQueen - We Are The ChampionsPigeon Detectives - Wait For MeThe Fratellis - All Along The Watchtower (another live lounge track - has anyone heard this? It's pretty fucking good)Cast of the Capital - An Organ's PledgeEmbrace - You're Not AloneI really need to make a running playlist. Most of these were okay to run to, but the obvious ones that weren't particularly inspiring were Pink Floyd, KT Tunstall and Elbow. By far and away the best (for running) were Clash and Feeder. I'm going to sit down with itunes and make up a playlist this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Stu Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I used to have DJ Dieselboy - The 6ixth Session permanently on my iPod for the exercise bike, which would basically kill half a spin class.Darwinian pruning, isn't it?

Guest Gladstone Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 When I was about 18 I used to listen to nothing but 2pac's greatest hits when on the exercise bike. Can't remember the reason - probably just because I listened to that album a LOT back then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gladstone Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Another hour on the treadmill this morning, another set of random "shuffle" tunes...JJ72 - Bumble BeeDavid Bowie - Space OddityThe Beatles - Eleanor RigbyThe Beatles - SomethingManics - ifwhiteamericatoldtheturthforonedayit'sworldwouldfallapartYvonne-Marie Evans and the YME's - FallinCharlatans - ForeverRichard Ashcroft - New YorkPaul Weller - Hung UpGreen Day - In The EndKasabian - Processed BeatsSpace - Dark Clouds (Fuck me - remember them??)Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc.The Libertines - The Man Who Would Be KingFriendly Fires - Jump In The PoolDoves - Where We're Calling FromYou Can't Eat The Word Food - This Friendly FireQuite a few slower ones in there, but I'm getting into just letting whatever the music is take my mind off the fact I'm running. I treat it as listening to music for an hour, and I just happen to be running at the same time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 What gym do you use and is it cheap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gladstone Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I'm at Nuffield (ex-Cannons). My membership is off-peak for about 42 per month. My work subsidises 50% so I get it for 21 which is ace. Off-peak is no use if you want to go after work though. I only go in the mornings before work so it suits me fine. But, off-peak does include weekends as well (I think). Think it's basically anytime except between 6pm and closing time Monday-Friday.I've a feeling the peak membership is about 60 per month.

Adam Easy Wishes Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 That's really near my flat but 42 is super-pricey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gladstone Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I've heard JJB is about as cheap as you'll get in Aberdeen. But when I was joining a gym, I wanted somewhere I could walk to work from, so Cannons was the only option. Plus I imagine JJB to be really really busy all the time for some reason...?

Kinnell Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Ran to work this morning and listened to Slayer - God Hates Us All. Knocked 3 Minutes off my best time. Think tomorrow I might go for Hummingbird of Death or maybe Black Eye Riot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Yeah, I used to go to JJB - my work gives me money off there - but I no longer live closeby to make it worthwhile (I used to go early before work too). Also even early mornings are really busy. Not a patch on how busy it is in the evenings though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootray Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 What gym do you use and is it cheap?I would hope it's cheap. Spending money to run for an hour is a bit daft. o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gladstone Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I would hope it's cheap. Spending money to run for an hour is a bit daft. o_OI usually run before it gets light, and I live in the middle of nowhere so running on the road is just plain dangerous.Plus I make good use of the swimming pool. If all I ever did was run, I wouldn't have joined a gym, but the pool is the main reason I'm a member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I thought I would give this a bash during my "excercise" at lunchtime which means after I finish my lunch, I sit on a sofa at work and drink a can of fizzy lovelyness and eat crisps while reading some crappy tabloid. Today I decided to catalogue what cropped up on my ipod while I "worked out":Pantera : WalkIron Maiden : Charlotte The HarlotMegadeth : Sweating BulletsMunicipal Waste : Relentless ThreatMcQueen : Break The SilenceOzzy Osbourne : No More TearsRammstein : Keine LustSanctity : The Rift BetweenSerpico : KulturaSevendust : PraiseSkeletonwitch : Stand Fight And DieL7 : WargasmMammal : Burn OutHeavens Basement : Executioners DayFive Finger Death Punch : BulletproofNightwish : Planet HellSoho Dolls : StripperSo all in all good solid work out music, got me up a fair old sweat!

Guest Gladstone Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 After reading Marie-Claire's thread earlier, I actually just re-read this thread and discovered that I was training for the Edinburgh Marathon as early as October.Since then, I've got gradually less fit...Luckily I missed the deadline for entering the marathon, and have had to opt for the half marathon. I really need to start training again very soon. The crappy weather over the past 3 months or so has really scuppered my plans.The proper training starts this week though. I did run the Garioch 10k last month with absolutely no training, so I'm pretty sure I can blag my way round pretty much any distance, but my time will just be shit...I did finally get round to making up a playlist on my ipod specifically designed for running - that helped me round the Garioch 10k. Most things by Kasabian seem to be pretty good for running - solid pounding repetitive beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
