Hello! After some very rigorous research I can confidently share that the new Trader Joe’s cold brewed iced coffee is good!
It is concentrated so you are supposed to mix it with one part iced coffee, two parts milk or water. I made it with Silk Almond Milk and some stevia. Amazing.
I have been getting bored on my longer runs and am in desperate need of a new playlist. As part of my partnership with Brooks the company asked me for my top two favorite running songs right now. They are putting together a master playlist from all the Brooks Run Happy Ambassadors on Spotify. I’ll share it when it’s done!
I went to check it out and put together a running music playlist of my own.
Right now I’m digging Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines (but who isn’t)
Outside of that and a few random songs like one from the new Kanye album I need ideas! At this point I have spent hours and hours with the same songs and I’m kinda over it.
Well, I’ll never be over Mr. Telo:
Anyway. I need your help!
What is your favorite workout song this week?
I kinda feel like I need some MJ in my life, I can’t believe I don’t have him on my list at all!
This post is part of my Brooks Run Happy Ambassadorship. All opinions are my own.
you should try Grady’s Cold Brew from Whole Foods – amazing!
Madness – Muse
Supremacy – Muse
Stupid – Kacey Musgraves
Blowin’ Smoke – Kacey Musgraves
Boots On – Randy Houser
Cruise – Florida-Georgia Line featuring Nelly
Whiskey – Jana Kramer
Starships – Nicki Minaj
Sin Wagon – Dixie Chicks
Get Right – J Lo
Disturbia – Rihanna
I can’t wait for that Spotify playlist! Blurred lines is such a catch song, but right now I can’t stop listening of Running Down a Dream by Tom Petty.
So many people recommended Wake me up by Avicii that i had to check it out. Yup. Love it. Thanks everyone.
PS, i LOVE posts like this. I’m always looking for new music to run to, and have found so many songs from blog posts and people comments, so thanks.
This is kinda sad, but at mile 11 of my half marathon n Monday, Miley Cyrus’ ‘The Climb really helped me! Cheesey, but it’s true! 😮
Ohhh Robin Thicke…love him and blurred lines!
Sorry can’t help you…don’t run with music though I’m currently digging ALBA at work.
I’m a huge fan of Holy Grail by JT and JayZ and Tom Ford by JayZ. I’m also a Pusher Love Girl fan, as well! Latest and greatest song for me,though, is Pretty Lil Heart by Robin Thicke. Sexy….
Try anything by The Strokes and Arctic Monkeys. All super upbeat British rock (minus The Strokes being British!) I also always liked Eminem-Lose Yourself and The Veronica’s-Untouched.
Yess! You need some MJ in your playlist. I personally love to listen to “The Way You Make Me Feel” during my run. It puts an extra pep in my steps and I catch myself dancing and enjoying my run a little more.
Robin Thicke is a must. I also currently added Selena Gomez “Come and Get It.”
OH! Are you a fan of the spanish rock band Mana?
Blurred Lines is on constant rotation with Lucky by Daft Punk and…wait for it…Best Song Ever by One Direction. What can I say, I like the 1D 🙂
Can’t.stop.staring.at.robin.thicke. I don’t even need the audio for that. Just watch to watch him haha.
Amen!!
I have gotten sick of listening to my same old tunes, so I downloaded a free app of audiobooks. It only has the classics, but spending 14 miles with A Tale of Two Cities was so much more enjoyable than repeats of Ke$ha and Florida Georgia Line…;)
I listened to Tina Fey’s book while running, great use!
Sail- awolnation
Demons-imagine dragons
Stronger- Kanye west
Machine head- bush
I’m the only one- Melissa etheridge
Battlescars- ( can’t remember name lol)
Disney songs to such as we are men, make fun but it gets me going every time!
🙂
Yessss, so glad to have a trusted review on the TJ’s Iced Coffee! I saw it the other day & was really hesitant. I’ll snag it next time I’m there (which will probably be later today!)
Make a Matt & Kim pandora station and you can run for hours!
I love this post! So many great suggestions by your readers. I heard “Sweet Nothing” by Calvin Harris (ft Florence Welch) twice at the Beach to Beacon and I’ve happily added it to my list. And a cover of Long Train Running by Bananarama (and the Gipsy Kings!) is something I want to try adding! Everyone could use a little flamenco on their playlist, I say!
I love The Fighter by Gym Class heroes – it’s not clean, but it is my power song, so when I listen to it the words running through my head generally aren’t kid-friendly either 😉
I’ve been listening to the Spin Cycle channel on I Heart Radio (it doesn’t stop playing after one hour like Pandora and prompt me to say YES, keep playing!) They play some great mixed songs, especially in the early morning when I usually try to run, from all across the board.
My current favs are anything from Avicii or Tiesto or Icono Pop “I Love It”.
Give me anything with a good beat, and I’m happy.
I’m going to go way back and say American Girl by Tom Petty.
My two favorite running songs right now are Ways to Go by Grouplove and Bleed Out by Blue October. I’m also on a Mackelmore kick and really like And We Danced, though I guess I should say it’s kind of an “R” song 😛
I listen to Pandora stations when I run, and recently I’ve been listening to Imagine Dragons station.
If I’m not on Pandora, my ipod is chock full of MJ and JT. That’s about it.
How do you survive without a little PYT? Or Off the Wall? …for shame, for shame.
Get Lucky by Daft Punk
Safe and Sound by Capital Cities
Take a Picture by Filter
Freedom by George Michael
Love MJ! Black or White, Bad, Billie Jean, Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’, Smooth Criminal, The Way You Make Me Feel … LOVE them all.
“HELP!” by the Beatles.
I’m useless here. I don’t run with music unless I’m on the treadmill and I’m basically never on the treadmill. I do really like Blurred Lines.
MJ Man in the mirror. I dont know why- just do it!
Harlem – New Politics. I usually pick my running songs by which ones my 3 year old son likes the best!
How about my current favorite eight?
Foals: My Number
Matt & Kim: Good Ol’ Fashion Nightmare
The Jezabels: Endless Summer
Empire of the Sun: DNA
HAIM: Don’t Save Me
Tegan & Sara: Closer
Daft Punk: Doin’ It Right
CHVRCHES: The Mother We Share
Favorite running song is “Magic” by B.O.B. Cuz I got the magic in me!
YUM! I need to get some of that coffee. 😀
I have these two songs by Little Dragon on my playlist that I love, “Ritual Union” and “Fortune (Iambic Remix)”.
I’m in the same boat but I like that list you showed! Can’t wait to see the full Brook’s list! Blurred Lines is my ish right now as well as We Can’t Stop by Miley, Rihanna – Phresh off the runway & Fall out boy – My songs know what you did in the dark! Also throwbacks get me hype like MJ – PYT & Envogue – Free your mind.
Is it embarrassing that Call Me Maybe still has me fist pumping on my runs? That and basically anything Black Eyed Peas…
Yeah, for sure is embarrassing.
My power song is Holding Out for a Hero by Bonnie Tyler from the Footlose Soundtrack… yes I know it’s SUPER dorky but I gotta say, I get up hills fast when that song is blaring in my ears! Actually, most of the Footlose soundtrack gets me pumped… and now you know I’m old.
I JUST put this on my iPod last week! It came on during my long run and it totally got me moving!
Live it up by Jennifer Lopez and the alive remix by krewella. Oh and fall down by will.i.am
My most recent adds are a mix of old and new because I was sick of my list as well
The Way You Move – OutKast – though too much time to listen to the lyrics when I run and really could live without some of them
It’s Time – Imagine Dragons
Switch – Will Smith
Blurred Lines –
Safe and Sound – Capital Cities
You can never go wrong with Britney’s Gimme More!
My fave of the week is JT’s Sexyback (Linus Loves Remix)
I absolutely love Treasure by Bruno Mars. I put it on repeat (yes, really) for the final two miles of every long run. It seriously makes me feel peppy and happy (at a time when I am typically neither).
My favorites right now are:
Run this World – Beyoncé
Beautiful People – Christina Aguilera
Raise Your Glass – Pink
Ahh yes some MJ is a must!

secreto el famoso biberon pa ke te de
Daddy Yankee – Ven Conmigo
Ana Tijoux – 1977
I really like running to the new Jay Z song Holy Grail.
I like David Guetta Titanium but I typically stick to old school hip hop like Notorious Big or Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.
Beyonce “Run the World”; Limp Bizkit ” Nookie” and “Rollin’ “; Destruction “Inside the Fire” (that’s my POWER song!!!); Eminem “Lose Yourself”; Britney Spears “3”, “Circus” , “Til The World Ends”; Usher “Li’l Freak”, “Scream”; J.Lo and Pitbull “On the Dance Floor”; Metallica “Enter Sandman”; Fort Minor “Remember the Name” (my other POWER song!!); Kesha “Blow”
Just to name a few…. LOL
Pretty weird mix, huh?? But I LOVE it!!
Lose yourself is def a good one!
Jenny by Walk the Moon!! YOU MUST LISTEN TO IT!!
run this world by beyonce- perrrrrrrfect running song (Like all her songs…. love me some queen bey)
Try working out to Cant Hold Us bu Macklemore and Moves like Jagger by Maroon 5 (old song I know- but it still rocks)…I also like Blurred Lines. Any type of hip hop songs would work too.
I wrote on my blog about this a few months ago… http://mimsiesky.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-workout-playlist.html
I have a pretty big playlist that I use every run…I’ve added some things to it recently Like: “Mama said knock you out”- LL Cool J, “My Songs know what you did in the dark” Fall Out Boy, “Can’t Stop Moving” Sonny J, “Bounce” Calvin Harris Feat. Kelis, “Monster” Kanye West, and “Wings” Little Mix!
I’m trying to add some more to my list so I’m excited to see what ya’ll come up with!! 🙂
I really love Hello by Martin Solveig and Paper Romance by Groove Armada.
Any really, anything by Daft Punk. Particularly Da Funk and Robot Rock.
Pitbull – Don’t Stop the Party. Really, anything by Pitbull gets me going! And my Pandora station never seems to tire of Ai Se Eu Te Pego either…but sadly I did.
Overcomer by Mandisa just added 2 days ago. Definitely helps me push through.
Bananaphone by Raffi.
RING RING RING RING RING RING… BANANAPHONE.
Wake me up – Avicii
Wake Me Up by Avicii. It’s a little different than his normal stuff and I seriously can’t stop listening to it on repeat
Going to have to check that out!
I really love Justin Timberlake’s “Pusher Love Girl.”
Wake Me Up – Avicii. UH-MAY-ZING
Royals – Lorde. A bit slower paced so maybe that’s not your thing. It’s so good though!!!
I was just going to add Royals because I’m legit obsessed! She is from NZ like me so I feel like we are friends.
Carried Away (Tiesto Remix) by Passion Pit
Best I Ever Had by Gavin DeGraw
numb by usher, love it! and kelly clarkson – catch my breath
I could use some new tunes as well. I still like Harlem Shake when I am running along with anything Pit Bull, Rihanna’s Right Now, The Other Side from Jason Derullo, and an all time favorite, never gets old for me, Coldplay’s Every Tear Drop is a Waterfall. Not sure why but I like running to it!
The Other Side gets in my head and I hear it when I’m running even without my iPhone.
That song is so addicting! I normally listen to Pandora’s Workout Station “Pop and Hip Hop Power Workout…” and for whatever reason when Calvin Harris Feel So Close comes up I get really motivated!
AND I need to try that coffee!! 🙂
Sara 🙂
I love that song especially when the beat drops! Definitely great for running!
Pass Out by Tinie Tempah….never heard it before, but my son added to our shared Itunes account …great running song
