This week’s Monday Motivation isn’t specific to running, but it’s helped inspire me in the past few days when I’ve been feeling low. This song came up on my Spotify when I was feeling particularly low about my calf injury- a bit like I’d never recover. It was one of those perfect moments when a song really speaks to you. Just listen to the lyrics!
The choreography in this video is absolutely stunning, and crosses the boundary between music video and short film- there’s so much raw emotion and beauty in it.
Anyway, I digress. Let me know what’s inspiring you this week. When’s the last time a song made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up? Perhaps a song you turn to in tough times?
Lots of love,
Pippa

A couple of weeks ago I went to Switzerland and we were driving into the Lauterbrunnen Valley as Jack Garratt ‘Weathered’ came on. It made the hairs on the back of my arms stand up. I don’t actually know what it’s about, I haven’t followed the lyrics that closely but the emotion in the song and how it builds has made me really determined in choices I’ve made lately. It’s a beautiful song, give it a listen, I think it will bring you some peace ☺️👊🏽

My song of choice is I Wanna Get Better by the Bleachers. The title alone speaks to me.

The video is very thought provoking, though. Made me cry.

A great song which I recently added to my running playlist. My all-time favourite for motivation remains “On a Mission” by Gabriella Cilmi.
