Making a playlist to procrastinate my bedtime to avoid a 14 mile run. Marathon training is hell, comment any hype up songs that help you run please! (the more i see everyone’s playlists/music taste on here, the more i realize how generic my music taste is. It’s humbling, thank you)

The way I motivate myself to run is by telling myself I can ONLY do something I want/need to do if I go on a run (even a short one). For example I only listen to my favorite podcast when I’m running. Or when I need to shower, I tell myself I can only shower if I go on a quick 20min run around my neighborhood and get a little sweaty first. I only listen to my running playlist (all my favorite songs that are ~60bpm, which is my exact running pace) when I run.
Try out a bunch of different paired habits (music, podcast, just listening to your own breath and thinking) to see what works best. One size does not fit all!
Lastly, when I first started out, I could only run sans headphones/music/podcast etc. i ran silently listening to my breathing, and I think it helped me figure out what my natural pace was. When I could hear myself huffing and puffing, I’d know to slow down. It took at least a year of getting in tune w my body this way before I could listen to anything for fun. i know that kind of cancels out the recs above BUT like I said, you might want to try all of these and see what fits for you ♥️

I run a lot, and I like running to techno music because I feel like I am in a video game. My friends know when I’m on “one of my little techno runs,” what is going down. Nowadays I just kinda freestyle it, might throw on a Giorgio Moroder mix, but when I started technorunning I used this podcast called PodRunner. It's like this DJ that makes a mix where the BPM changes according to how fast you should go. Some real endorphin blasters.

Trying out new stuff and getting really into it is tight! Go to a pottery class, teach yourself how to draw, sign up for a race, mod an old ipod!
