Running over the Christmas period is not easy. It's cold, it's dark, and you'd probably much rather be inside eating pigs in blankets than out doing exercise.

I find one of the best ways to stay motivated is to mix up your running music. We've put together a mixture of feel-good Christmas tunes, old and new, to keep you on track over the Christmas break. Be sure to follow our playlist on Spotify!
