Marathon Part 2

My top 5 Power Songs

The sounds of running can be highly motivating. The constant pounding of your shoes against the pavement, the rush of your breath, and the quickened beating of your heart.

However, sometimes there are those songs, that just motivate you and push you harder than the sounds of your own breathing or steps can do.

Here are some of my top ten "power" songs.

5). "Duel of the Fates" by John Williams - Yes, I run along to a song from the Star Wars soundtrack. There's something about the opening vocal line, that gets my heart racing and my mind race ready.

4). "Gonna Fly Now (Theme from Rocky)" by Bill Conti- Do I need to say anything about this one?

3). "Knights of Cydonia" by Muse- This song is just epic. From the intro guitar solo, trumpet, and driving guitar riffs, this song is just epic, and makes me want to run in a way that is epic.

2). "You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire" by Queens of the Stone Age- I don't feel quite like a millionaire when I hear this song, but I do feel like I can run and push myself a million times harder.

1.) "Stone Cold Crazy" by Queen- Arguably one of the greatest guitar riffs ever written, this song just drives me like no other. Every time I'm running along to this song, I feel like a stone cold crazy runner who'll stop at nothing.
