Rachel Burden's Great North playlist
As you may know, Rachel Burden will be taking part in the Great North Run this Sunday, along with a host of other 5 live-rs.
She asked for your suggestions of motivational tracks to put on her MP3 player to try to get her round the thirteen mile course, and loads of you kindly replied.
All of which has led to the following playlist:

5LNPI: Do you let your children drink at home?
10:21 Thu, 17 Dec 09
New official guidance suggests parents shouldn't give children any alcohol before they are at least fifteen, with under-17s drinking only under supervision. We get the thoughts of Nicolay Sorensen, director of policy at Alcohol Concern. Would this stop binge drinking? Is this information useful? Are Mums and Dads doing enough to stop their children drinking too much?

Why would somebody take part in a great occasion such as this and then lose half the experience by listening to music?

Rachel. Where is "Keep On Running"? Spencer Davis Group - Steve Winwood on vocals. Good for at least two miles.
Time to Pretend? I have just checked out the track. It seems to be a paen of praise to - shock horror - fast living!
We are fated to pretend? lol

Stick Dire Straits' Telegraph Road and Pink Floyds Shine On You Crazy Diamond - both will pass fifteen minutes a-piece, and there's a long pumping rock instrumental at the end of TR.
Regardless of musical selection; good luck, young lady!!
