Summer running has begun! Whether you are outside pounding out the miles in the heat or inside on the treadmill getting in some of your training runs, I have some new tunes for you to try out. Songs with fast beats help me to finish those last 3 800’s when my legs are fatigued and I’m ready to quit. The lyrics in some of my favorite running songs can give me that extra boost that I need. There are songs that come on during my run that fill my mind up with good memories. A great playlist keeps me entertained on the treadmill and of course when my favorite ones come on, I sing them out loud while I am running. I love to run the first few miles without music so that I can hear my footsteps while focusing on my breathing and form. After those miles I put my earphones in and soak in my favorite tunes! I wanted to share with you some of my favorite running songs of this summer:
