tunes to run by

What songs get you fired up to run? Who’s your go-to artist for track sessions?

My playlist is woefully outdated – I haven’t downloaded new music in (gulp) three years. I don’t listen to music ever on the trails or roads, so this hasn’t seemed like a big deal until I started a new marathon training block several weeks ago and realized I needed some fresh tunes to fire up my speedwork.

Here are my current (as in what I’m listening to, but definitely not “current” LOL) favs:

“Bad Reputation” – Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

“Can’t Hold Us” – Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

“I Disappear” – Metallica

“I Want You To Want Me” – Chris Isaak

“It’s The End Of The World As We Know It” – R.E.M.

“The Middle” – Jimmy Eat World

“Raise Your Glass” – Pink

“‘Till I Collapse” – Eminem

“Supafunkadholic” – Delhi 2 Dublin

“The Walker” – Fitz And The Tantrums

“Best Of You” – Foo Fighter

“Sabotage” – Beastie Boys
