Music to motivate

I haven’t shared a playlist in a long time, so I thought it was about time I shared what I’m currently listening to on training runs.

Now I don’t know about you, but I find that music is really motivating, sometimes it could be just the beat or the tempo that gets you going, sometimes it could be the lyrics, and sometimes it’s both.

I have a huge library of music, so much so that I had to create a specific playlist where it plays all the songs that have not been played.  It also includes songs that have not been played in over a year.

Guess how big my library is – go right ahead.

I’m always on the hunt for music, especially music to run to. I love creating running playlists, that are my go-to when I run.
I have Gym Dj and RockMyRun mixes which are awesome when you can’t be bothered complying with a list of music, but sometimes you want to listen to specific songs. Know what I mean?

So here is my current playlist.  I’ve called it Run Melb 2013 (as it’s my training run mix for my half marathon in July – Run Melbourne)

1. Santa maria (Del Buen Ayre) – Gotan Project
2. Levels – Avicii
3. Right in – Skrillex
4. I love it – Icona Pop
5. Thank You – MKTO
6. Can’t hold us – Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
7. Big Banana – Havana Brown
8. Last Night – Pitbull
9. I could be the one – Avicii vs Nicky Romero
10. The Party Next Door – Avicii ft Taio Cruz
11. Liv tonight – Nelly
12. Turn up the love – Far East Movement
13. Take over control – Afrojack ft Eva Simons
14. Amensia – Ian Carey & Rosette ft Timbaland
15. As long as you love me – Justin Bieber (don’t judge me 😛 )
16. Hot right now – dj fresh ft Rita Ora
17. My songs know what you did in the dark – Fall out boy
18. Good Life – Kanye West
19. Euphoria – Loren
20. Change your life – Little Mix
21. Die Young – Ke$ha
22. R.E.V.O – Walk off the earth

24. That Power – will.i.am

I’m still perfecting this playlist.  So it may (and most likely will), change with songs, artists, and most importantly order.

So what are your top 3 fav songs at the moment?
