A bunch of your recommendations found their way onto my iPod and this playlist so I wanted to be sure to share it with you guys.
I hope you find a new song or two that you enjoy!
Half Marathon Playlist
- Melanie Amaro – Don’t Fail Me Now – I take the “feet don’t fail me now” lyrics quite literally when I run to this song.
- Rudimental feat. John Newman – Feel the Love – It is ridiculously hard for me not to sing the chorus of this song out loud, but since they repeat it approximately 10,000 times in this song, I try my best to refrain.
- Emeli Sande – Next to Me – She has the voice of an angel.
- Calvin Harris feat. Florence Welch – Sweet Nothing – I definitely caught Ryan singing “you’re giving me such sweet loving” in the car one day. Loving? Nothing? Same thing.
- Gossip – Heavy Cross – This is the song from the Dior commercial with Charlize Theron. Wait, you don’t download songs from television advertisements? Oh.
- Martin Solveig – Big In Japan – Ridiculously catchy.
- Bingo Players – Cry Just a Little
- Scatman John – Scatman – I may never understand the words to this song.
- The Temptations – Ain’t Too Proud to Beg
- Pitbull ft. T-Pain – Hey Baby
- Hercules – Zero to Hero
- Moby – Natural Blues – This song is rather slow in the beginning, but it picks up as it continues and I always find myself getting really into it.
- Usher – Scream
- Yellowjackets – Wavin’ Flag – A little acappella music for some variety!
- Taylor Swift – I Knew You Were Trouble – Shame on me now.
- K’naan – Better – The lyrics that say “I’m only getting better” remind me to push myself and try to improve on every run.
- Black Box – Strike It Up
- PJ Loughran – Shoebox – I couldn’t find a quality YouTube video for this song, but you can listen to it in iTunes. It’s a song my friend Ryan put on a CD for me in high school that I’ve loved ever since!
- Salt n Pepa – Shoop
- Hercules – The Gospel Truth
- Evanescence – Bring Me to Life
- Manian – Ravers in the UK – Taken from a previous BodyPump release! Major pump up music.
- Destiny’s Child – No, No, No
- Macklemore feat. Wanz – Thrift Shop – This song is horrible in the best way possible. I sing “this is f-ing awesoooome” aloud as I run when this song comes on to try to remind myself that running a half marathon is pretty f-ing awesome.
- Usher ft. Will.I.Am – OMG
- Basshunter – Now You’re Gone
- Loleatta Halloway – Love Sensation
- Basshunter – All I Ever Wanted
Enjoy!

I want to wish you a great race tomorrow! Hope it goes even better than you planned.
Love the playlist…I’m loving the Taylor Swift song “I knew you were trouble” also. My daughter says I sing it a little too loud in the car! 😉
i love Tswift and have no problem publicly admitting that i memorized her newest album in about a week. 😉
I’ll have to check some of these songs out, I actually don’t know a lot of them!
Thanks for sharing your playlist! I am ALWAYS looking for new music!
GOOD LUCK tomorrow! Kick some A#% Sea Bass! 🙂
Good luck!! That’s a great playlist. Thanks for the suggestions- now I know what to add to my itunes library 🙂
Good luck!!
Damn Taylor swift for being so darn catchy (no shame).
I LOVE that you have two Hercules songs on here! One of my favorite Disney movies
I’m OBSESSED with Thrift Shop, the video is ridiculous. Also totally forgot about “No, No, No” by Destiny’s Child… awesome!!!! Good luck on your half!
Good luck Julie!
Another song you may enjoy is called “Radioactive” by Imagine Dragons.
OMG! I was just telling my boyfriend that the song from the Charlize Theron commercial would be a good workout song. Good choice!!!
Have a great race. I was recently ashamed to put ‘I Knew You were Trouble’ on my mp3 player too. Love the Big in Japan song!
Good luck tomorrow!!!!
Shoop? No, No, No? Hercules? This might be the best playlist ever. Good Luck!!! 🙂
Another GREAT song that is out right now that I absolutely love is Hall of Fame by the Script feat. Will.I.Am. It’s one of my workout songs now!
Great playlist – thanks for sharing! Good luck on your half marathon tomorrow!! 😀
good luck!!
YAY! Thank you! I’m starting to train for my first half marathon and have been looking for some new music to run to!
I’m not gonna lie.. I totally thought the lyrics were also “sweet loving”!!! haha
Haha!! You and Ryan both! 🙂
Glad I am not the only one who wanted to download the song from the Dior commercials. I also downloaded P-Diddy’s (whatever his name is today) song, “I’m coming home” from the video game commercial it was playing on. Gotta get inspiration from somewhere. 🙂
I’m excited to download some of these into my itunes, I have started to train for a half marathon and am looking for some new workout songs! Good luck tomorrow!!
Thrift Shop is my JAM! Good luck tomorrow!
Good luck and have fun!!
Good luck tomorrow! That half marathon won’t know what hit it!
I love the playlist. I recognize a few I have but will defnitely be checking out the others.
Oooh I love seeing other people’s playlists! I think they are quite revealing about a person.
Thanks for sharing, I need some new music inspiration for cardio.
Good luck tomorrow!

Good luck Julie!!! So excited for you!!! Can’t wait to hear how it goes.
I LOVE Macklemore! Everytime I hear that song I have my own private dance party. I shared this “tiny desk concert” from NPR on my blog, and I highly recommend it! 🙂

Ugh I LOVE Thrift Shop 🙂 Have you seen this? http://howdoiputthisgently.tumblr.com/post/40773169455
Gets me every time. GOOD LUCK TOMORROW!!!!
I LOVE Sweet Nothing! I thought it ft. Florence Welch, but Pandora never lists it that way and it was driving me crazy! lol Good luck tomorrow 🙂
Ha! I download songs off of commercials too! I downloaded Heavy Cross a few weeks ago… love it!
Good luck tomorrow 🙂
Can we please talk about how Hercules made the list? I love it!!
Good luck tomorrow!
Good luck on the 1/2 Marathon tomorrow girl!! I’m sure you’re gonna rock it. Can I suggest one more tune that I think you’ll really like? It’s super motivating and the rhythm builds really nicely. I recently got into it and can’t stop listening.
Collide–Avicii–featuring Leona Lewis

Love the wrong lyrics on Sweet nothing. My boyfriend sings Rihanna “We found love in a homeless place.” yikes.
Looks like a great playlist! Good luck tomorrow! And have fun!
You can’t do bad with that awesome playlist! Good luck!!
Good luck on the race tomorrow! This playlist looks awesome–esp b/c I am a HERCULES fan!! Huge fan. I also love “Scream” and “Ravers in the UK”<–I teach BP< and was trained on that release, so good memories.
good luck at the race! thanks for sharing your playlist, it will provide some motivation for me on the treadmill as I work to get my pre baby bod back 🙂 Also, I made your garam masala chicken in the crockpot this week and my husband and I both absolutely loved it!
I’ve definitely downloaded a song from a commercial. You know those Kia Soul hamster commercials? The original one had an awesome song – Do What You Do by Marz. Love it and it’s totally on my workout mix. And as a bonus, I always picture cute hamsters in cars when I hear it 🙂
Woooo! Good luck! I embarassingly still love me some Evanescense songs, even at 23 years old. 🙂 Love the inclusion of them!
I’m stealing some of these for my own playlists! Thanks for sharing! Wishing you a wonderful and fun race tomorrow 🙂
Great playlist! Good luck with your race tomorrow. I’m sure you’ll rock it!
Zero to hero – just like that!! Oh man, I love the music from Hercules.
Do work at your half-marathon tomorrow!! I’ve recently added “Thrift Shop” to my playlist too and it’s so funny! It has a good beat too! “Hey Baby” is another one I love and of course “Sweet Nothing” has been one of my favorites since early December!
Hahaha thrift shop is my latest guilty pleasure!
Love that you put the Dior commercial song on here!!! Lol was just thinking to google to see what it was.
It is so catchy!
I’m definitely going to check some of these out and add them to my own running playlist!
