A word on music

There's no right or wrong music to run to. At this stage you might feel you need hard disco to carry you forward, I know I did. Kylie Minogue worked wonders for me with her Spinning Around, as did Daft Punk's Around the world.

But there's something zen about running to the lightest of music. Music that goes da di da and still pushes you forward. Try running to bossa nova, and let the happiness of the soft soft swishing on the drums propel you into the distance. Try anything Jorge Ben, Astrud Gilberto or João Gilberto.
