James Cracknell's Champion Choices

As Steve seeks the shortlist for the month's Running Tracks World Cup, we hear which mid-90s big beats helped power the Olympic champion-turned-runner James Cracknell to victory.

As Steve seeks the shortlist for this month's Running Tracks World Cup, we hear which tunes helped power the Olympic champion-turned-runner James Cracknell to victory.

James won two Olympic Golds in the Coxless Four at the 2000 and 2004 Games (in Sydney and Athens). He has six World Championship rowing titles and has undertaken a number of epic adventures, crossing oceans and continents, and running a sub-three London Marathon in 2015. He is now part of the Great West Run team, a 13.1 mile event in Exeter.

We hear that it was the big beats of two mid-90s dance albums which helped power him through a gruelling training schedule: Prodigy's Music For The Jilted Generation and Leftfield's Leftism.

Also in today's musical mix, a 1973 session track from Bob Marley & The Wailers, an Album of the Day from Blossoms, and Steve says farewell to The Maccabees with the spin of a Lost 45.
