I love music and I love running; a lot of my friends do not run with music at all and a lot of my friends can only run if they have music playing. I am in the middle; I prefer to use music during a race as it helps my concentration, pacing and stamina! For obvious reasons, I do not run with music when I'm running with friends or during early morning/late night runs.
When I run solo, I also try to alternate using music so that I don't always rely on it to get me through runs.
For races, I take my race playlists very seriously! For faster races (5ks-10ks), I include a lot of upbeat, tempo songs. For half marathons, I include a lot of songs that I can zone out to; for my marathon training, I will definitely be doing the same.
Here's what I currently have on my 5k play list- don't laugh!!! If you're looking for new running songs, the one's highlighted are recommended!
