Right now it seems like my playlist is a lot of the current pop-y/top 40-ish songs. Sometimes I get into other phases like boy bands or rap (which is exceptionally good for running in a bad mood) or other random genres.
Yo Te Esperare has been on my running playlist for about a year and a half. Last spring (of 2012), Mariel introduced this amazing Spanish song to me. It was #1 on the charts in Spain and for as many times I listened to it during that busy season at work on repeat, I was unsuccessful in single-handedly making it big in the US.
Teenage Dream will always be on my running playlist and every playlist I ever make for anything. If there is one thing you should know about me, it is that I love this song and it will never ever get old to me no matter how many times I listen to it.
I Drive Your Truck is kind of a weird song to have on a running playlist since it is slow, but I really like the song so it is on there. Same with Crash My Party.
I really like when my socks match my shoes. Ignore the small hole in the toes... I did about a 7 mile run today. I didn't want to bring a watch so not sure on the time but I think I was going a slower-ish pace which I'm fine with since I didn't run last week. I did the 7.7 mile forest preserve loop and the first 4 or so miles were continuous but then the last half of the loop I had to stop for a bathroom and then took 2 short walking breaks. It was so hot, especially at this time of evening! I'm supposed to do a track workout tomorrow so hopefully that will get me feeling stronger again.
What is your favorite genre to run to? Or some of your best workout songs?
Do you have a song that you will never get sick of?
Do you take walking breaks on your runs sometimes?
I love fartleks too…and the word fartlek…and the reaction you get when you say that word around non-runners haha. I actually did one this morning - 8x2 min fast, 2 min jog so a total of 32 minutes with 1 mile warm-up and 1 mile cool down. This is probably my favorite since it is the one I do most often, but when I am on the treadmill in the winter, I’ll do all sorts of fartleks just to prevent boredom – you can mix in inclines for that as well.
ReplyDeleteI like listening to pop when I work out (but not when I run, I’m not a music runner haha). There are about 5-10 songs that remind me of my favorite spinning class that I miss, specifically Wild One by Flor Rida…I need a find a way back in that class, but it might be hard without an xsport membership and the fact that I no longer live 0.5 miles away from that gym.
I think I will try that fartlek sometime! I do it myself on the treadmill too - increase or decrease the pace every time the song changes or something like that.
DeleteI am still a member at the Y and we have a ton of guest 1-day passes, so we should go to spinning there one Sunday morning.
