Surf City | Marathon Music


My running playlist needs a makeover. Like, a total overhaul. Especially since I've been doing so many runs inside on the track, and trying to focus, I don't regularly run with my iPod anymore - with that, it needs some help.

I have some super random stuff on my running playlist - everything from Survivor to Neon Trees to Ke$ha to Psy. Like this:


BUT - I currently have just about 2 hours' worth of songs in my playlist and need at max, 5 hours. So, bring 'em here: Your marathon music suggestions for 2013. New faves? Trusty go-to power songs? Faves to get you through a hard workout? Share 'em here!

I'll be sure to share my final playlist prior to marathon weekend, and my iPod thanks you for helping to shake things up a bit!

What are your running playlist must-have songs or artists? Thanks for your suggestions!

    I recently downloaded the BGR! Preserve the Sexy mix which is pretty good. Its a mix of stuff, but mostly hip hop/rap type stuff. A preview can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/user3208056/preserve-the-sexy-mixtape

    "Help, I'm Alive" by Metric, "Sleepyhead" by Passion Pit, "Heads Will Roll" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, "Welcome Home, Son" by Radical Face, and "Good Morning" by Kanye are my top five must haves for long runs. Good luck lady!
