I'm building a playlist for my 5K on 5/28. I usually stream music stations on Amazon but I want something specific and inspiring for the race. What are your favorite songs to run to?

Play Hard - David Guetta
It came on last night when I was on the last stretch and felt like I was dying. It helped me to push through. It also had the perfect beat for my pace at that moment.0 -
I usually listen to the Avicii station on Amazon for my runs, and I think he is one of the regulars played, so I will add it to the playlist. Thank you!1

I love The Rock Workout on Spotify the beat is about spot on for my pace. Has stuff like Ram Jam - Black Betty, Can't Stop - Red Hot Chilli Peppers, some AC/DC, Green Day, Foo Fighters, The Killers, etc.2

Fight Song and Walking on Sunshine work to motivate me.2

Do any of you listen to podcasts or audiobooks? I am thinking of experimenting some before my race.0

I've been just listening to some playlists named "Running" on Spotify.. but I just got started0

I really like the "You can do it" Spotify playlist at the moment, feeling in a dancey kind of place at the mo.
@TheGaudyMagpie how did you get on with podcasts/audiobooks?1 -
I've been listening to podcasts, and they seem to keep me more distracted than music. I've been listening to Lore and Mysterious Radio (but no alien stuff - aliens bore me). I've been trying Welcome to the Night Vale and it is not suitable for running to, IMO. Too monotonous. Tonight I'm going to try out Zombies, Run, as I've been set back a bit by the weather, my schedule, and switching to a dirt track.
I've been walking during lunch and listening to Escape Pod, which is short science fiction stories. I like it and I think it will do fine for runs if the Zombies app doesn't work for me.1 -

Thank you for the tip, Angela! I was listening to this playlist today during my run gave me a good pace.

I've been through a few different batches of music for my workouts.... this week Imagine Dragons are on the player. While I was struggling this morning against the urge to stop during the last couple of minutes of my longest intervals yet, Whatever It Takes came on and it was PERFECT to get me to the end :-D

My new favourite to distract me from clock watching is the Myths & Legends podcast on Spotify (think it's on itunes too)0
