Running Playlist: 10 Songs to Supercharge your Speed and Leave those Pounds in the Dust

[ 4 ] 02/14/2013 | Lissa

I’ve been on a running hiatus up here in North Dakota. Winters are long and, well, cold. As a result, my speed (and I use that term loosely!) suffers dramatically. It might also have something to do with those baked goods I’ve been snacking on while I’ve been holed up in my house, too? I’ve started planning my comeback playlist, and once it gets above freezing, you’ll find me out there pounding the pavement. You’re in luck today because I’m sharing my songs with you… are you ready to supercharge your speed and leave those pounds in the dust?

Run, Run, Run by Dragonette.

Concrete Angel by Gareth Emery.

This is EXACTLY what I need right now. I’ve been dying for some new songs to ad to my running play list. Two of my favorites are “Home” by Phillip Phillips and “Put Your Hands Up” by Matchbox 20.

My Body has been my favorite workout song for awhile now, but I also love The Way We See the World (Nervo), Where the Lines Overlap (Paramore), Anna Sun (Walk the Moon), Look at Her Go (T-Pain), etc. Thank you for these suggestions! :)
