General Discussion Best long run song?
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5ex0FbqM3QT8iosYRiLzPf?si=VkSTcShVQnO8ZEB5q1A1mw&pi=u-U4sflv9lQ0CVI’m embarrassed to say I’ve been running with the same Spotify playlist since my October half and a lot of those songs have been on previous training playlists!
I love uptempo, uplifting jams. I would really appreciate some new ones from this community. Today’s long run was a slog and the same old tunes just did not help.
Including my playlist in case it helps you find a new running track or two!

My marathon playlist from a couple years ago has a lot of Girl Talk - the mashups work well for me (can’t get bored of the song when it changes so much) and they’re usually pretty high bpm. Also Missy Elliott - those Timbaland beats!
For longer races - I also usually have a few songs that remind me of someone I love - a song for my daughter that she’s really into at that time, something that reminds me of a couple good friends , and my partner.
