Music for Running

Music for Running

For reasons still unknown to me, I recently signed up for the Helsinki City Run, a half-marathon on May 9. I rarely exercise because I usually get bored out of my mind, but now I’m jogging through the snow three days a week and trying to make a go of it. Even quit smoking (again). We’ll see if this sticks.

Here’s a quick mix that I put together to keep moving. Ten tracks. One hour. Be forewarned: I like to run to emotional electro and full-tilt techno.

    Thank you! This is fantastic =]

    Gui Boratto, Ellen Alien and The Field (specifically Sound of Light) have been in my ears a lot when I run.

    Yes! Oddly enough today I was thinking of doing a running mix for the weekend. Course I need an interlude somewhere in there, I was thinking of doing one were the first 15-20 mins are warmup, then something a bit more relaxed for the next 5-8 minutes and speeding it up for the last 25 minutes. I know for sure I dont have enough physical condition to run effortlessly through the 60mins of this mix :P
