Whether you’re running outside or How This Runner Changed Everything With One Step, good music can often make the difference between a great run and a blown goal. That’s why we’re putting together playlists each month chock-full of songs with enough of a beat to keep you moving. For even more tunes, check out our list of the A Part of Hearst Digital Media.
September is upon us, and for runners, that means one thing: long-run season. Now through November offers prime marathoning months, and leading up to those big race days comes lots of double-digit miles.
The Best Types of Dogs for Runners long-distance race is no joke, and requires new habits. You can muscle through a three-mile jog without carrying water, but that certainly won’t fly on an 18-mile training run. You may also need to splurge on better socks, stock up on energy gels, and plan out your bathroom schedule so you don’t end up stranded on the side of the road desperate for a toilet.
Another thing you’ll need during long-run season is a much longer running playlist. While an hour-long mix may be great for a 5K, if you’re going to be racking up 30 or more miles in a week, you’re going to need more music to keep you energized.
To that end, we’ve put together a 50-song playlist specifically for long runs. There’s plenty to listen to even as your run ticks up to two hours and longer. Long runs can be hard, but they’re so rewarding, and hopefully just a little more enjoyable with this mix.
