RunnerDude was recently contacted by the Virgin London Marathon and a running music company called AudioFuel to see if the readers of RunnerDude's Blog would like to help them out with a little project. My response? "You Bet!"In the lead up to this year’s marathon, they’re asking runners to nominate their favorite running tracks of which the most popular will end up being the “soundtrack” of the London Marathon!
Organizers know that filling your iPod with good running music is what a lot of runners like to do and they’d love if you could nominate your favourites, too. Ideally they'd like to generate some debate and get nominations from a wide cross section of the running community as possible.
Audiofuel has also included a free fuel sampler - http://www.sendspace.com/file/ezy5qh that you can check out!
