"Bangarang by Skrillex. It's a kick-arse tune that makes me run at the ultimate pace."
"Born To Be Wild by Steppenwold. It's an oldie but always gets the blood and adrenaline pumping. The feeling of freedom it evokes never fails to get me psyched to run."
"My favourites include What's My Scene by Hoodoo Gurus and All My Life by Foo Fighters. A good mix of Aussie classics and hard-hitting American rock is the best combination to run to."
"Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics is a favourite. I like anything 80s and daggy."
"I love running to Feel The Love by Rudimental. It's uplifting and has a great beat."
"The track that really fires me up when I'm feeling flat is God Is a DJ by Faithless. I'd listen to this before I'd walk out behind the block as well."
"I like Sweat by Snoop Dogg because it's fast. I like the beat and it's very appropriate for running."
"Midnight Life by The White Panda, a mash-up of M83's Midnight City and Kanye West's Good Life. It's motivating with a catchy beat."
