For the turbo I use the album Running Trax Xtra on my iPad, with alarm timers set to remind me to up the ante for intervals

And then some mellow choons to calm things down a bit?..

something like this....

...pick any rhythm you want to work to.

And then some mellow choons to calm things down a bit?..

I just turn down the volume for my cool down. By that time I'm dripping sweat into my eyes and breathing like a steamtrain so it matters less

Great wee warm tune .....

I actually map my rides and performance by music.

I'll start off with some fairly pumpy-but-steady music. Big beats, dub, epic trance and the like. Largely because I'm a chav without the dress sense. Something like:



Or an absolute all time fav:



If I get to 50 miles and I'm still on Chemical Brothers or Prodigy, I know it's going to be a good day!

When I'm red-lining, still care about how fast I'm going/climbing and want to eak out that last little bit of energy I'll switch it up into something a bit more up-tempo:



This normally lasts for only a few miles.

When I'm in desperation mode, need to make it over the next climb just to stand a chance of getting home, I'll look to keep a beat but flick to something 'softer'. I find 80's disco-pop is ideal for this:



This lasts for as long as I can bare it (both the pain and the music).

When I've popped completely, reached the **** it point and I'm basically granny-gear free wheeling it home, literally any easy listening goes. If I'm feeling mentally fresh but physically knackered, I might take some uplifting "beat-the-world" chart pop. Like Katy Perry. Or



If I'm done both ways, its the Righteous Brothers or Vivaldi. The latter especially tells me I've over-cooked it and am slightly delirious.

I like to finish a ride on stage two; physically drained but actually energised from the ride. If I get to stage four - arriving home listening to Miley Cyrus - I know that I've either been a) overly ambitious or b) a fat, lazy barsteward recently.

I am just getting back into swimming and as I stopped because it was so boring (sensory depravation thing) I have just got a waterproof Walkman thing (all in headphones with no wires).

I could do with something that would be in time with swimming. So far I have tried some early Jamaican Ska stuff that fits quite well. Any ideas for swimming? It needs to be upbeat and steady rather than thrashing.
