BEDA: Day 7: 1/2 Marathon Playlist {part 1}

August 7, 2014 By Emily 10 Comments

 

So I went and did this crazy thing. I signed up for my first 1/2 marathon. And while I was working out a training schedule for that 1/2 marathon, I signed up for my first 10k race as well.

Now I love Pandora, and more recently Amazon Streaming Music (which is free for prime members). The Amazon playlists are pretty awesome! But for some reason my internet in the YMCA sucks and I can’t use either. So as a result I’m working on creating a few playlists to get me through my longer runs. I first headed to the top charts to add some new and fresh music to my list. Here is what I came out with!

"1/2 Marathon Playlist" "Music for running" "Running Playlist" "New Music to add to your playlist" "Running"

Currently I’m Loving: (aka new to me music…)

  1. Happy (From Despicable Me 2) by Pharrell Williams
  2. Boom Clap by Charlie XCX
  3. American Kids by Kenny Chesney
  4. Let Her Go by Passenger
  5. Latch by Disclosure featuring Sam Smith
  6. Sail by AWOLnation
  7. Pompeii by Bastille
  8. Ten Feet Tall by Afrojack
  9. Get Low by Dillion Francis and DJ Snake
  10. All About That Bass by Meghan TrainorAlso adding two that also get me moving and are newer songs..
  11. Turn Down For What by Lil Jon and DJ Snake
  12. Fancy by Iggy Azalea

Stay tuned… I’m likely going to share my other playlists as well. (Country playlists, and Pumped Up Jams!) I should add that I run about a 12 minute mile. I didn’t build this list based on BPM but rather what kept me going through my run. Some music is only music I’d listen to when I’m running.

Help me build my playlist – share your favorite song to run to below!

Iโ€™m blogging everyday in August (BEDA) with Emma from Outmumberedfollow.

    I am not familiar with any of these recommendations. I like fast loud music for working out with.
