Whether you’re running outside (solo!), or just hitting the treadmill, good music can often make the difference between a rave run and a blown goal. That’s why we’re putting together 90-minute playlists each month chock-full of songs with enough of a beat to keep you moving.
As summer winds down and fall approaches, most runners have one thing on their mind: cooler temperatures for outdoor running. Until those chilly days get here, stay present and enjoy the few remaining weeks of sunny days and T-shirt weather—the time for layering up before heading out the door will be here before you know it.
