Taking those first ever steps out of the door in my trainers ranks high in my list of 'most difficult things to do' table. And after my first run of 1.45miles in 12mins 44secs and stopping 6 times, I could have easily given in.
A little bit of internet surfing however and I stumbled accross AudioFuel. Motivational voice coaching, beats from a famous heritage (The Matrix), I was sold so purchased Adrenaline Junkie.
From the outset it's gave me the boost I needed to get out there and run. Run fast and get PB's.
I do like to listen to other music from my collection, but the AudioFuel beats are by far the greatest.

"Ivory Blue is an excellent motivational track to kick you off. Fast beats at 170bpm mean that from the starting blocks your focus is on your pace. This compilation pushed me to my 10k PB."

My Motivation Tip
Look in the mirror : If you're looking good, you'll want to keep it that way. If you're looking bad, you'll want to do something about it. Might seem a little vain, but I'm a regular poser now after shedding over 1 stone and toning up.
