Add to my very important pre-race playlist!
Be part of my pre-race preparation by suggesting songs for my NEW pre-race playlist. Music is a massive part of my racing strategy; as soon as I’ve warmed up and squeezed into my racing suit, my Ipod goes on and doesn’t go off again until I’m at the blocks and ready to go.
So, I’m giving you the opportunity to decide exactly what I listen to in the final moments before some of the biggest races of my life! Just think, I could well be walking out for a Paralympic final to YOUR song.
The only rules are: the songs have to be uplifting and/or motivational. All suggestions (within reason) will go onto the playlist although, depending on time allowances, I may not get to listen to every song in full. If you want to add to my playlist, please send a message via the Contact Me page or via Twitter @frannywill
N.B - your name does not have to appear on this page. If you do not want it added just let me know :)

My must haves:
- Coldplay – Viva La Vida (“I use to rule the world”… and I will again!)
- The Levellers – Beautiful Day (very uplifting and makes me want to dance around)
- Safri Duo – Played A Live (often used in events as a walking out tune for competitors – it makes my skin tingle)
- Eminem – Lose yourself (not my usual genre of music, but my roommate played it a lot before a big race at the World Championships last year and its great to remind ourselves that we only have “one shot”)
