Do you have a playlist of songs that just pumps you up?
You know what I'm talking about. Maybe you're having a great day and the sun is out. You put the windows down and crank it up as you drive along.
If you're a runner or are working your way to becoming one, I consider a great playlist a must. When the home training runs get long, you need that little something that picks you up and gives you that extra push.
Here's some suggestions for your play list as you work hard on your body and get healthy.
Sure, you will meet people that don't listen to music when they run. In fact, some races don't allow the use of earbuds to even listen to your favorite playlist. But, I'm not here to tell you that.
I've used the songs below to train for five half marathons and one marathon. All of these songs (plus about 30 more) made it to my playlist for the 2015 Philadelphia Marathon. And if there was ever a time I needed motivation, it was running for 5 hours that day!
The playlist of songs below are rather eclectic. It spans my love for country music and 90's rock. Yes, I'm a bit nostalgic.
But, these songs work. They are great running songs. I share them here because I used them and I believe that you can benefit from adding these songs to your playlist. When the training runs get long, you need a pick me up.
So, there you have it. My playlist of kick-ass, pick you up songs. Sure, they may not all be your cup of tea. That's fine.
That said, I like to share whatever I do as a way to motivate and inspire you. You some of the playlist, all of it, or none of it. It doesn't matter to me.
The point is that you find something that works for you. Even more, I want you to get out there and enjoy you're running time. It's some of the best moments of my life. And I know you will feel the same way if you give yourself a chance.

I have a mix of 90s and early 2000s rap. I love hearing House of Pain Jump Around or Vanilla Ice Ice Ice Baby 🙂 It always gets me hyped no matter how bad I feel during a workout 🙂

Word to your mother! Haha. Love it!
Great list. When working out, I think you can’t go wrong with the Rocky Soundtrack. I see Eye of the Tiger is #1 here…also like Gonna Fly Now and Hearts on Fire. Also get motivated with Eminem’s One Shot, Papa Roach- Last Resort, Bush- Machinehead…and probably some club/freestyle dance music from the 90s/early 2000s.
Papa Roach!! Haha, love it. Can’t beat 90s and 00s. Lol. I’m very nostalgic with my music choices sometimes too.
