On a longer run, you need a durable playlist. Specifically, you don’t want loads of new songs which might not suit you. Old favorites might not provide the oomph they once did. So, this scene requires something else: a stack of proven jams. To that end, we’ve collected a full hour of hits from the front half of 2019 to propel all the way to the end of your toughest training sessions.
The mix warms up with a TLC cover from Weezer and closes out with a club cut featuring Netsky, Bazzi, and Lil Wayne. In between you’ve got solo cuts from Billie Eilish and Iggy Azalea and band efforts from Bastille and The Cranberries. Finally, you’ve got a track that combine acts like Martin Garrix, Macklemore, and Fall Out Boy alongside a remix in which Feenixpawl updates a Madison Beer hit.
In short, the playlist is full of familiar faces and songs that—even if you don’t know them by name—you’ve likely heard in passing. To that end, you can take the infectious energy that propelled them up the Top 40 chart and put it to use in your most challenging workouts.
