Whether you’re running outside 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.
Welcome to the heat of the summer. It’s a scorcher out there, which means it’s time to up your hydration.
Whether you’re at the beach, the park, or in a gym with the air-conditioners blasting on overdrive, the temperatures are going up, and that means some sweaty runs are in store for you this month. Running in summer also means planning ahead—slather on the sunscreen, break out the big water bottles or hydration vest, and trade in leggings and thermals for shorts and tanks.
But perhaps most importantly in summer, you need plenty of motivation. When the sun is beating down on the pavement and the humidity is high, convincing yourself to get off the couch can be hard. And the alternative, waking up early or running at night, can be daunting as well.
To help with the summer scaries, here’s a playlist full of nothing but summer bops to help push you through even the sweatiest of runs. This set of upbeat summertime tunes will provide the motivation to brave the long days and heatwaves. Whether you’re on vacation or on your usual grind, add this playlist to your summertime running essentials for July.
Sunglasses, check. SPF 40, check. 90 minutes’ worth of music, check.
