When it comes to Ultra Running, people often ask if I listen to playlists of music. The answer is "Yes," however my playlists usually consist of full length albums. When running 12+ hours, albums help sooth the time and help it go on, rather than individual songs. Here are 5 of my favorite music albums to listen to while running.
Comment below::: What are your top 5 albums to run to?
"Joshua Tree" by U2
"I want to run - I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside
I want to reach out and touch the flame
Where the streets have no name"
"Suburbs" by Arcade Fire
"Hey
Put the cellphone down for a while
In the night there is something wild
Can you hear it breathing?
And hey
Put the laptop down for a while
In the night there is something wild
I feel it, it's leaving me"
"Lonesome Dreams" by Lord Huron
"It's time to run, they'll string me up for all that I've done
I'm going soon, gonna leave tonight, gotta
I did it all for you, well I hope you know the lengths I've gone to
What's a man to say? They'll be looking for me, should be on my way"
"Boxer" by The National
"We're half awake in a fake empire
We're half awake in a fake empire"
"Clarity" by Jimmy Eat World
"How long would it take me to walk across the United States all alone.
The West coast has been traumatized.
I think I'm the only one still alive."
for runners who enjoy listening to vinyl records... OR just stick with the Ipod.
