20 Best Running Songs - Hits and Favorites to Upgrade Your Run
Need some great running songs?
These (mostly) popular tunes will motivate you to pick up your pace and run farther than before.
As a runner, I am a huge fan of pounding the pavement with music. The right songs can get me though some rough runs, as well as some monotonous runs (read treadmill). Mostly they make my running experience much more enjoyable.
Below, you will find my 20 best running songs. Before you see what they are let me give you one disclaimer:
I am a female and I'm not into explicit lyrics ... a couple of the songs might not be manly enough for some guys.
I will continue to update these songs as better ones come up. Take a look:
