Now I didn't put up and record times, but the playlist made the run enjoyable and kept me going when the 2 of the 3 aid stations didn't have any water left.
Your input is always welcome, what should I add to my playlist for the 1/2 marathon in October?
Great list! Thanks for sharing! Since you asked for input, I have provide a few ideas below...
ReplyDeleteI am a little nervous to suggest this because I worry I might not pass the Reese requirements for quality music, but I really enjoy running to 30 Seconds to Mars. (I know that a former actor is a lead singer...but I just look past that...) Most of their songs have a powerful chorus so they give you energy on your run. Recommended songs include Kings and Queens, This is War and Closer to the Edge.
Also, since you included some rap in there, I would also recommend a few Kanye tracks like Stronger, Champion, Good Life and Flashing Lights.
Finally a few tracks specifically that came to mind: Viva la Vida (Coldplay), Encore (Jay-Z), Show Me What You Got (Jay-Z), Bend and Break(Keane), and Cigarettes in the Theatre (Two Door Cinema Club)
Awesome list! Even though it is old, I think you should add Queen's, "Don't stop me now." Awesome power song.
ReplyDeleteGreat suggestions. Jason, I contemplated some Kanye... finally decided everytime he comes on I end up skipping over him. Don't mind his stuff, can't stand the person. Nat, I just downloaded Queens greatest hits. Freddy Mercury goes well with a nice morning run.
ReplyDeleteQueen is what got me through the SLC half. Well done on getting the greatest hits.
