My Favorite Running Playlist (45-Minutes)

/

I’m always on the hunt for new running music. 

If you see me running and want to get my attention, wave or throw something at me because I am usually in my own little world, sucked into whatever motivational anthem is coming out of my headphones.

Ever since middle school when I first entered the world of mix tapes, I’ve been obsessed with making playlists. 

Whether it’s to accompany a particular mood (does anyone else have a "cry mix"?) or a particular activity (sooo many driving mixes), I love curating the perfect combination of songs.

When selecting running music, my method is a little...unconventional. 

I run in place wearing headphones while previewing the song to make sure the beat is exactly how I want it. You laugh, but it works!

For me, the music I listen to can make or break a workout. It's the difference between cutting a run short or going for twice as long so it's gotta be good. I let it dictate the length of my workout way more than I should, but knowing its impact guarantees a solid workout just about every time.

This season’s playlist consists mostly of upbeat tunes featured in shows or movies and despite the fact that I’ve never watched an episode of Glee from start to finish, I’ve added a bunch of their songs because they are so damn catchy!

I hope you enjoy these songs as much as I do.

Here are 45 minutes of workout tunes!
