Marathon Music List

Listening to the right music which has a tempo similar to my running stride gives me an ability to ‘cheat’ / ‘hack’ my body. I know, this isn’t a revelation, but I was surprised by how well it worked. So here is what I’ve done:

  • Marathon Goal: 4 hrs => 240 min
  • Typical Song Length: 3 min
  • Total Songs In Playlist: 80

Here are the songs that I am going to put on my playlist to listen to during the marathon. I’m going to post them here as I find new ones. As you have probably already guessed, yes there are going to be 80 of them before October 12th.
