One big question for runners leading into a race is: What's going on the playlist? I don't bring music with me when I run, but I almost always listen to music before a run. With Boston coming up in five days, I have put together some of my favorites that help put me in the right state of mind. Maybe they will work for you:
Song Away by Hockey
All Hands Against His Own by The Black Keys
Float On by Modest Mouse
Hurt Feelings by Flight of the Conchords
Maps by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Lights & Music by Cut Copy
Sail by AWOLNATION
Kids and Heartbeat by Childish Gambino
Here I Come and Marathon Man (remix) by The Roots
Lose Yourself by Eminem
Monster by Kanye, Jay-Z, Nicki
I'm Shipping Up to Boston by The Dropkick Murphys
Run this Town by Jay-Z & Rihanna
Umbrella by Rihanna & Jay-Z (on only because it's close to 180 bpm)
All of the Lights by Kanye & Rihanna
Wavin' Flag by K'NAAN
Superstar by Lupe Fiasco
These are the songs on my Boston 2012 playlist. I like a nice mix of styles before a run. Some of the best running advice I can give is to go with what works for you. Find what makes you comfortable and ready to run your best!
