It’s finally Friday!! Why do short work weeks always feel so much longer?!
As I mentioned last week, I needed a good power tune to get me through my intervals and this week’s 400-meter repeats were no different. While I find of late I’m using music less for some of my shorter runs, when it comes to speedwork, hill repeats or late in a long run, I like to have my music! So when I heard that Courtney, Mar and Cynthia were inviting everyone to share their “Favorite Fitness Tunes,” I couldn’t resist chiming in with my 5 current favorites. Note I say current because my tastes and playlists change often!
(Links to YouTube videos below in case you’re interested)
Love Runs Out by OneRepublic — The very first time I heard this one on the radio I knew I had to add it to my playlist. I love the driving beat!
Applause by Lady Gaga — While I’m not a huge Gaga fan, this song never fails to get me moving!
Now that We Found Love by Heavy D & the Boyz — Old school!
Dream On by Aerosmith — Told you my taste is eclectic! While a slower beat for sure, there is something about this song that always gets me going – maybe it’s the Boston connection 😉
25 Miles by Edwin Starr — OK so Old School there isn’t even a video, just an audio link! Despite its age, it’s a relatively new addition to my playlist and a favorite to hear late in a long run.
Be sure to check out everyone else’s list – maybe you’ll find a new tune for your playlist!
I like the Heavy D & The Boyz song! I haven’t heard that one in a while and is a good one to add to my playlist. Thanks!

I need a new playlist too! Let me know if you come up with any good ones to add!
I will always love Dream On. Right now I’m all about Pit Bull and that Fireball song.

Oh Pitbull does have some good ones – I’ll have to add him to my new list!
I love songs with the word Run in the title and I love One republic.
I never heard of the 25 miles song. That would be perfect to hear towards the end of you marathon!
