In light of the race coming up this weekend, I've seen a lot of requests on Twitter for good running music. I actually made a great playlist for just such an occasion while I was sitting on my spin bike a few weeks ago. While I was cycling (ha) through my playlists, looking for music that would wake me up, help me focus, and make 45 minutes pass...the following showed up and thus was born a new playlist, "Songs that Make You Say F*ck Yeah!"
Gloriana - How Far Do You Wanna Go
Jimmy Eat World - Bleed America
Ou Est Le Swimming Pool - Dance the Way I Feel
Rise Against - Architects
Pretty Lights - Forever Lost
Darude - Feel the Beat
Lucky Boys Confusion - Hey Driver
Cartel - This is Who We Are
Chromeo - Don't Turn the Lights On
Lucky Boys Confusion - Champions
Skrillex - Cinema
Kanye ft. Bon Iver - Lost in the World
Linkin Park - Bleed it Out
T-Pain, etc. - All I Do Is Win
DJ Khalid - We Takin Over
Blink 182 - Easy Target
I don't run with music anymore for long runs, which I miss, but it's for the best since I won't be allowed to use a headset during the 70.3. That hasn't stopped me from using music to drown out the other sounds at the gym or when I'm sitting on the bike.
What songs did I miss? What are your "songs that make you say f*ck yeah!"?
If you're running tomorrow, have a great race! You can find me in the beer garden at the end.
Coach says -- yea to songs! Play them in the car or pump up the volume as you cruise the metro and stand anxiously in the porto-lu line pre-race time. My offering is a bad 80's song by one who sports some bad ass abs - Marky Mark 'Good Vibrations'! And SUPER YEA!! to not wearing the tunes during the race. Super fun to hear what is going on around you (aka chatting up with fellow runners and all the loud cheers of people/coaches standing on the side line) and wheelchairs trying to do their best to race through the crowd as well. Tune in to the day and tune up the tunes before and when you are celebrating afterwards - f*ck yeah!!
