Fun songs in your running mix?
Quote | Reply
I’ve started running after a long break and my Spotify is getting repetitive. What fun songs brighten up your mix? And girl power or just bouncy fun stuff?

Help me out as running is definitely not my favorite leg :-)

These ones always get me pumped up (no judgment please LOL):
- Can't hold us (Macklemore & Ryan Lewis)
- Stronger (Kanye)
- Roar (Katy Perry)
- The Champion (Carrie Underwood)

I use Apple Music and it has lots of curated playlists and I'll usually put one of them on for bike/strength workouts.

Yay! Love those!

And just found out that Spotify also has curated mixes. I’m really getting dragged out of my Walkman mix tape comfort zone :-)

In the gym I like listening to the Hamilton soundtrack.

That sounds interesting! I’m looking forward to the upcoming movie release!

The songs that get me head bouncing while running are pretty diverse musically.
Welcome to my house- DJ Dira
Shut up and Dance- Walk the moon
XXXs and OOOs- Trisha Yearwood
All Star- Smashmouth
Good as Hell- Lizzo
Fight Song- Rachel Platten

Those are the ones I mini dance to when they come on.

I find “Paper Planes” by MIA to be a virtually perfect running song. Keeps me at a nice higher cadence. Also “The Truth” from “How’s Your Girl” by “Handsome Boy Modeling School”, “Scenario” by Tribe Called Quest.... Fatboy Slim’s album that got popular that I can’t remember the name of...the one that has “Praise You”. Um, for a long run- anything by Explosions in the Sky has a great trance effect.

Sorry to interrupt, but I'm always scouting out threads with "playlist" in them and I happened to see this video last week

M.I.A.'s story is pretty fascinating

Following!

Have been adding a lot of motivational songs and upbeat songs these days, to get through those long runs on my own with no races in sight:

- Lady Gaga - Born this Way
- Keala Settle - This is Me
- High Hopes - Panic at the Disco
- Kings & Queens - Ava Max
- Just Got Paid - no idea who sings this one
- Harder Better Faster Stronger- Daft Punk
- Dance Monkey - Tones & I
- Faster Kill Pussycat - Paul Oakenfeld (the faster version)
- Little Less Conversation (JXL Remix) - Elvis & JXL
