When you run alone, you have no one to entertain or push you along. Music is the key.
The songs on your playlist are everything. If you don’t have to the right songs, your run isn’t going to go according to plan.
My playlist is a mixture of rock, metal, and pop. It’s a unique and motivates for me. All of the songs also help me release the pain inside of me.

All of these songs may be different from each other. The one thing they have in common is being upbeat.
It’s all about the beat for helping you move faster and keep going. So when you make your playlist, make sure you have upbeat songs.
