Cool Tunes

Most people need music while working out because it helps you get through it. I always listen to music whether I’m running or at the gym. I like having my favorite songs blasting in my ears, it’s what keeps most people pumped and up for any type of workout. I have two playlists in my Ipod, one for long easy runs and another for interval and tempo/race pace runs. I’ll list a couple of songs to give you an idea of what I’m talking about. When I do long easy runs, I usually listen to a slower type of music. I don’t know why, but it makes me want to run for miles:P

At the moment, these are a few songs I have for a lengthier run:

• “Otherside” by Red Hot Chili Peppers
• “Starbright” by Quietdrive
• “Go” by My
  Favorite Highway
  .
• “Breakin” by TheAll-AmericanRejects
• “Sorrow” by Bad Religion
• “My Stupid Mouth” by John Mayer
• “Monster” by Lady GaGa
• “The Lime Tree” by Trevor Hall
• “Coyotes” by Jason Mraz

For a faster pace run I have:

• “Have Faith in Me” by A Day to Remember
• “Favorite Fix” by Artist vs. Poet
• “Godspeed” by Anberlin
• “Raise your Glass” by Pink
• “Sweetness” by Jimmy Eat World
• “Weekend Warriors” by A Change of Pace
• “Give it Away” by Red Hot Chili Peppers
• “House of Wolves” by My Chemical Romance

Switchfoot is one my favorite bands, luckily I got to see them the 12^th of December along with My Chemical Romance, Jimmy Eat World, Smashing Pumpkins, Bad Religion, Anberlin, and A Day To Remember. They’re one of those bands whose songs are perfect for working out. They have upbeat fast songs that make you want to push as hard as you can and they have their nice slow songs that are perfect for a longer run.
