As we round out the last 4 days before our Ragnar race (Miami to Key West), I've put together Day 1 and Day 2 Playlists to share.
Most of these songs have a beat-per-minute that works for an 8:30 - 9:30 pace. Many of the songs have lyrics that talk about running, or about feelings you might have while running (e.g. "I'm on top of the world!"-- Imagine Dragons OR "All I wanna be is DONE!" -- The Band Perry)
I don't discriminate; I cover ALL genres. As long as it has the right BPM and a wicked bass line, it's on the list. Feel free to share it!
