Track Star Track List: 8 Great Songs to Run to

Lately, I've been trying to step my cardio-game up. The reasons for that are endless and obvious--but the over-arching reason is to be healthier. Now I'm not pro-status when it comes to distance running, so I need a little extra motivation. Last time I was in Chambana, I did my first 2-mile run since Summer before Junior year of College. The girlfriend lead the way, but these tracks provided an added push along the way. Add them to your playlist for your next run and let me know if they help.

1.) Kanye West ft. Jay-Z & Swizz Beatz - Power (Remix)

Gotta love the tribal-esque beat and up tempo snares/claps. Not to mention Jay-Z kills the verse.

2.) The Black Eyed Peas - The Showdown

The countdown is enough to get me hype. Probably should start your run with this one.

3.) Linkin Park - Bleed it Out

If you're one of those runners who pushes yourself to your limits, this is just what you need. LP is always inspiring.

4.) Madonna - Miles Away

Yes. Madonna. The beat/tempo are undeniably a runners dream. Plus, the title is Miles Away. Seems fitting.

5.) Jay-Z ft. J. Cole - A Star is Born

Let the lyrics do the motivating for you.



6.) Drake - Show me a Good Time

Another good starter track. Also a good pre-gaming/party song. Works all angles. =P



7.) Kid Cudi - Heart of a Lion

Need I say more.



8.) Eminem ft. Lil Wayne - No Love

Eminem's verse is Grade-A. Just Blaze kills the beat.
