Music is a must-have for me during a workout, especially whilst running. It really helps me to zone in and keeps me away form distracting, negative thoughts. During the half marathons I recently ran, on both occasions I nearly hit that wall around the 16km mark. If anything, music really helped me get through. Old school music is a huge part of my playlist. When you’re running low on energy, I love hearing coming across an old track, and suddenly thinking “I remember this!”
Pink: Get The Party Started
Spice Girls: Wannabe
Fat Joe Ft Ja Rule & Ashanti:What’s Love.
Eve ft Gwen Stefani: Let Me Blow Your Mind
Blue Cantrell: Hit ‘Em Up Style (Oops)
Jagged Edge ft Nelly: Where The Party At
Blackstreet ft Dr Dre, Queen Pen: No Diggity
Sean Paul: Temperature
Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody
Toni Basel: Hey Mickey
Whitney Houston: It’s Not Right But It’s Ok
Destiny’s Child: Bootylicious

Not quite sure if I cut it for my brother’s radio show, but in the meantime I’ll continue mixing up my playlist with some old school tracks. Which songs are on your playlist?
