BBC Radio Scotland - Personal Best, Music and Exercise

Gillian Russell explores the role of music in fitness motivation and event performance.

What do you listen to when you're exercising?

It can distract you from fatigue, relieve boredom and elevate your mood so just how much can music help with fitness motivation and event performance? Gillian Russell talks to sports psychologist Misha Botting from Sport Scotland Institute Of Sport about the role music can play in our exercise regime.

If you're stuck on pop music when you're keeping fit, perhaps you need to broaden your horizons! Classical? Jazz? Opera anyone? Gillian goes out for a run with Frances Vaughan to find out more about Run Folk - an online community encouraging a hook up between folk music and exercise.
