Opinion – Finish Line: Do you run listening to music? A selection of playlists to liven up your workout

When it comes to running, many choose to pack their strides with a song, and choosing a playlist is as personal as setting a goal for the practice.

There are those who seek to listen to their preferred genre, regardless of training, or who choose something faster for the most intense and softer when it is necessary to hold the pace to cover a greater distance.

I’m part of the first group, but I tried some playlists available on Spotify to help give the blog’s reader-runners a direction.

00s Pop Run

It was one of my favorite playlists —millennial writing here. It brings the most packed songs of pop from the 2000s, and the memory of the ballads helped to liven up the workouts, but without speeding up too much.

Fun Run, Run This Town e Pop Rock Run

The three also bring many pop songs, but not limited to the 2000s, with some pop rock tracks. For those who like the genre, it’s a way to vary between the different playlists available.

Running Remix

Here, the pop tracks get a little livelier with remixes. For a workout that requires a little more speed, the playlist can be a good companion.

funk for running

I like the music of the genre, especially the ones packed for running, but the playlist has slower tracks, which ended up discouraging the training.

Electronic Running

I’m not a big fan of this style of music, but I found it to be a good choice for shooting training, when I need to increase my speed a lot, even for a short period of time. As these workouts are shorter, even though I don’t really enjoy it, the playlist didn’t last as long as it bothered me.

Rock ‘n’ Run 150 – 180 BPM

Although the playlist starts with a very fast-paced song, the other tracks don’t follow the same rhythm. It’s a good choice for those who like the genre and are looking for a selection for a workout that doesn’t require so much speed.
