I don’t know about all of you, but I can’t set out on a run without my Ipod. A good round of music can make or break me on a run sometimes. Ever since I got my iphone I have been using the Pandora work out stations but have recently returned to my old school running playlists.
The next race I am running has a pretty boring course and is small in numbers, so I know I needed to start work on a good playlist to keep myself moving.
Keep in mind while reviewing this thing, in a marathon (at least for me) every song can’t be up beat and moving or I will literally kill myself in the first 10 miles so I try to get a nice mix of up beat and a little more steady…

Do you like Coldplay? I have Clocks and Viva la Vida on my playlist. Mas Que Nada by Sergio Mendes/Black Eyed Peas and “Say hey, I love you” by Michael Franti & Spearhead are two fun songs. I also have a playlist post on our blog that you can check out for other suggestions – be sure to check out RunColbyRun’s reply for more songs: http://marathonandsprint.wordpress.com/2012/10/20/please-dont-stop-the-music
Thank you so much for the suggestions and the link. I may be just about where I need to be length wise once I make these additions!!
