I started running in high school as a track member and kept the fitness habit. Running helps clear my head and just lets me think, but I've got to have some good beats to keep me going. My playlist is getting dull so I'm looking to switch it up. What songs motivate you to keep going?

There are a lot of songs that keep me motivated. When I'm working out, it's usually rap or something else with a fast tempo that keeps me moving quickly.

I run all the time, but recommend that no one listen to music when doing so. A good friend was killed by an auto when she ran in front of it. She was distracted by her ear phones. Less situational awareness was a major cause factor. YMMV.

Good Listening

I used to run every morning at 6:00 am. There is less traffic and I can get it done and be showered before work. I just listened to the radio (my favorite channel) that way I could keep up on current events too!

Oh, that's awful, gofar99! I'm so sorry that happened and I completely understand why you suggest caution. I only run on a treadmill, at the track, or on a trail where no bikes or cars are allowed. One reason I wear earphones is for motivation to keep going or a distraction. Another is to deter men. I know that probably sounds ridiculous, but earphones are like a "do not disturb" sign.

That is very unfortunate that your friend was killed while exercising (running). All runners and other music listeners as well should always be aware of where they are and what's around them. Bad things will happen if you don't.

Anything upbeat helps me run and get motivated. However, listening to Maroon 5, Fall Out Boy, and X Ambassadors helps me the most.

I have lots to recommend, but much of it may be outside of the range which you consider desirable. Any genres in mind? Drum and bass is pretty intense music to pump you up. Pirates of the Carribean has pretty epic music as well, for an epic style run (hehe).

I use my workout time to do a bit of meditation. It's simple - you just have to be present in the moment and not get distracted by anything else.

For instance, if I'm running, then I should only be thinking about running, counting my steps or breaths and so on. No music, no outside thoughts. That does a lot to help me clear my mind and start off my day on the right foot.

Have you ever used Spotify Running? It will detect your running tempo and find music that matches your speed/rhythm. It's really cool! I haven't used it in a couple years (because I got lazy) but hopefully it's still around.
