Top 50 Running Songs

Top 50 Running Songs

Now I know what you’re thinking – “a running playlist on a physical therapy website?!” Here at Fit Stop we like to promote wellness, not just rehabilitation. Running is a great way to increase your strength and cardiovascular endurance. We encourage you to get out and give it a try!

Now if you’re anything like me, you just can’t run without music! I love zoning out with nothing but some headphones in my ears and shoes on my feet carrying me wherever I want to go. There’s nothing like a good song to help you pick up your tempo or finish out that last half mile or so. I typically enjoy a wide variety of music while I’m running and wanted to share my go-to running mix with you. Here is my playlist – 50 songs to keep pounding it out all the way to the finish line.

Do you hurt when you run? Some of the most-common injuries we treat in physical therapy are actually running-related! Knee pain, IT band syndrome, Achilles tendinitis, and plantar fasciitis are but a few of the injuries we specialize in treating. If you have any of these conditions or pain in any of your joints/muscles, there’s a lot physical therapy can do to help you!
