That being said, I don't really have any plans for this long weekend. So hopefully I can get rested and have a nice long run this weekend, 10 miles is in the schedule for Saturday morning! Woohoo! Haven't run that far in months, so to say I'm nervous is a huge understatement.
So today is Thursday and time to share another "jam" with you, the music that gets my legs pumping and my booty bumping. Today's "jam" is on the techno side, but I enjoy this song a lot. It's a bit of a throwback jam because it was released a few years ago, but it is still very present on the airwaves today. The video isn't my forte, but I like the song. There is someone in lingerie for a short bit, so if you have little ones you may not want to play this around them. Just a heads up.
So today I present:
It's got a great beat and helps during lag times when I run. Not necessarily what I listen to when I'm at the end of my run and I want to finish strong, but more like in the middle when I tend to get bored, this is a good pick me up. I know not everyone is into the techno beat, but I like having it on my list because it helps me to zone out and I tend to get lost in my thoughts that way. Hope you take a listen and check it out. Enjoy your Thursday!!
Now it's your turn: Do you have a long run planned for this weekend? Do you like or dislike techno based songs? What type of beat helps you?
Good luck on your 10 miler! I have a semi-long run with my son scheduled for tomorrow. It's more of a taper, 5 miles, after doing 7 miles last week. It's supposed to storm all weekend though, so I'm not sure what we'll do. He needs to run outside b/c he struggles with outside more than the treadmill and needs one more long run before that 10K next week! Techno music usually isn't something I listen to while running, I need lots of lyrics to sing in my head or something!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen! I do enjoy long runs with other people, helps to kill the time in discussion. Hope the weather cooperates and you get some time in nature!
DeleteI'm planning for a 9 mile run on Sunday! Longest this year so far! I enjoy techno sometimes. It certainly helps me pick up my pace, but I don't think I could listen to it for the whole run.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your long run! I know you'll do great! Techno definitely helps to pick up the pace, but like you, I can't listen to it the whole run.
DeleteGood Luck with your 10 miler!! I am headed to Minneapolis for the weekend -- picking up 2 race packets (races aren't for awhile)!! Excited to have this week over....it was VERY LONG!! One more week with students and then I am free for the summer!! Happy running!
