A couple of other people mentioned running, I've been running for the past month or so, been digging deep for some motivational music to get me round my route.
80's montage power tunes do the trick to get me up those hills. So far I've come up with these & am open to other suggestions!
Karate Kid montage music from the end of part 1:
Scarface montage, from where Tony Montana is moving up in the world:

No 80's power montage collection is complete without Rocky:
Great Christmassy song. Just came back from Centerparcs & they did a Christmas fireworks show with this version of this song (among other songs like Troika) blaring out at about 100 decibels. Brilliant stuff:

Long live 80's music ... there is no other music - not in my house ... sorta stolen and amended from "The Big Chill".
