Ellie Goulding, who is a big fan of running to keep in shape, reveals that she mixes up her workout playlists to maintain her motivation. 

The 'Starry Eyed' singer told BANG Showbiz that keeping her ears and brain both active and distracted in the gym or on the track keeps her going for longer:

"I either run to something really kind of heavy like some drum and bass or something, or something really chilled something that engages my brain so I concentrate."

"I think that in classical music there's lots of kind of complex things that makes you - well, you get distracted by so many things going on that by the time you think, 'That was amazing, that was really good,' you've kind of done a mile or so."

Talking about her love of running, Goulding added:

"The thrill of running is purely physical. I could tell you it's a spiritual high but that would be a lie. I'm an endorphin addict. I love the idea of my body being how it should be - in shape and active, able to deliver. The more I train and see muscle definition, the more inspired I am to push myself harder."

She recently performed an acoustic show at the Nike store at The Grove in Los Angeles for 'She Runs L.A' and you can watch her rendition of 'Guns And Horses' here:
