I love some jams when I run. Music is super important to put me in the right head space and to keep me moving. Some of it’s upbeat, some not so much, but all of it could be used in a Gatorade commercial. While you can’t listen to music during your race (it’s against the rules, sorry!), the right mix can help you focus your mind pre race or distract you from the effort and pain during training.

Here’s what I’m currently jamming on when I run:
