Desperately Seeking New TUNES


Coming back from injuries sucks. Most of us have been there and we all know it sucks.  There is always that desire to push it, go a little farther or faster than you know should.  I’m in week 2 of my return to running.  Coach Laura has been on a strict treadmill-only regimen.  I started last week with 10 minutes of running, yup, 10-WHOLE-MINUTES and just finished 30 minutes this morning.  Still a far cry from where I left off at Thanksgiving but a step (literally) in the right direction.  The best news is, I have not had any PAIN from my runs.  I have been diligent about keeping the pace slow, for those that know me you know that I’m already slow so going slower is hard.  I haven’t run anything under a 12 minute pace and I’m okay with that (for now).  I’m happily running short distances at slow paces with NO PAIN! 


However, one thing I’m not OKAY with is my tunes selection.  I am in desperate need of some new tunes!  Please help!  Leave some of your go-to’s in the comments please.  Also, just so you know, the pop-ier and/or hardcore rap-ier the better.  Please don’t tell me to listen to some slow, whiney, emu-y music…I need fast, upbeat and preferably with terrible lyrics. That’s how I roll.

  2. i'm having a tough time going slow too. Last night was 4 miles at a 7.0 speed, where as none of my ultra training was slower than a 7.5 speed. ugh. and my quads were revolting by the end of it.

    I have no concept of tunes, since I suck at being a young modern human being like that. The only thing I can suggest is the new Justin Timberlake song Suit & Tie, it's got that JT beat that should keep you moving.

  4. I don't know why this made me laugh... maybe the "slow, whiney emu-y music" comment.

    I literally love old school Jay-Z, Eminem, JT (don't make fun of me for that), songs. They always just pump me up.

  6. SO glad you are feeling better!! I hate injuries.

    I am THE WORST person to ask about tunes for running...I never listen to music on the run, just podcasts...Besides the one you KNOW I like, ZenTri and GardenTri are really good.
