the soundtrack to my run
Running without music might be on of the most pailful things I can imagine.
Alone with my thoughts, no thank you.
I need music to take me away so I am not considering walking the next kilometre because I am a feeling tired or sore. Music blocks out that sneaky, little liar that is hiding in the back of my mind. A great song can drown out the thoughts of taking it easy and conserving my energy. Music is an escape, and the pick me up I need first thing in the morning.
One day, I want to be able to run with no music and actually enjoy it. I want the confidence that I can finish strong, and that I won't talk myself out of my own workout. I just need to remind myself each workout that I am already up and out of bed, I might as well run hard and get it over with.The faster I run, the faster it is over.
This is our 7km morning run playlist.
It starts with some warm up tunes and builds into a sprint for the finish.
