Running is a great way to get in shape!
Whether you are running to train for a race or just running for your physical fitness, it is a little easier with music! I personally think every thing is a little easier with music! The Davis girls don’t do anything without it! (If you want to get to know the Davis girls a little more, read Having Common Ground with my Teenagers.)
So I thought I would share my playlist for running! It literally is titled “Running” so it’s easy for me to find and add to whatever app I’m using to track my run! Even when I’m running with a partner, I still have my music playing softly in the background. Since I’ve done all my training this way, this is what I am used to and what I have to do on my race days as well!
Not all of the songs I listen to are fast and upbeat. I use my run time to clear my mind and worship the Lord and my list includes songs that have seen me through some tough times. This reminds me of what I’ve already overcome which helps especially on my long run days! I mean 10 + miles is a piece of cake compared to some things, ya know? That’s how I look at it anyway 🙂

Running heals my soul! Thanks for sharing your playlist. It’s hard to find decent running songs nowadays.
You’re welcome! I love finding new music, it heals me as much as my running does!
Beautiful list. Healing music for a healing activity.
Yes it is! Thank you!
I have to admit– I am not a runner… but I do love music that pumps you up and injects positive motivation. Thanks for sharing the list!
No problem! I listen to this same list some mornings on my way in to work 🙂
Love this! My kiddos LOVE Old Church Choir 🙂 This also seems like a great playlist to turn on for chores or just a spirit boost!!
Yes ma’am! I listen to it in the car all the time too! Old Church Choir is one of my new favs!!!
I always listen to music when I walk (no more running for me!) and anything by Zach Williams or Mercy Me is at the top of the list!
They are so great!! Chain Breaker is my ring tone!! 🙂
Those are some awesome songs definitely going to be motivational on a run.
I know! I just love them!
Keep running and breathing deeply along those tree lined streets.
I will!! I makes my run so much easier! 🙂
Thank you for sharing your playlist. I’m always looking for some more good music. I used to listen to Toby Mac a lot when I was younger.
You’re welcome! I love TobyMac!!!
Just pinned this! Will be listening to this playlist tomorrow during my cleaning session and see which I want to include! I have been needing some new faith filled songs.
I’m so glad! I’m always looking for new ones too!
This is a great list! Thank you for sharing. I like to listen to Kathleen Carnali (All To You worship album) when I am walking/running.
Thank you! I’m writing that down now so I can look her up and add her to my list!
Oh I completely agree! Everything is way easier with music! Sometimes if I feel unmotivated, I just turn on music and it does the trick!
Same here!! Always lifts my spirits!
I haven’t heard of any of these! I will have to test them out on my hikes!
I’m so glad you have some new ones to try!
I will have to put these songs on my spotify! Thank you for sharing! 🙂
You’re welcome! I’m glad you liked them!
I love so many of these songs!!! Overcomer and Chain Breaker are my favorites. A few I am not familiar with, so I will have to give them a try. Thanks!
Yay! I’m so glad there was something new for you to listen to! Chain Breaker is also one of my favs…..it’s my ringtone!
Always great to have good music to exercise, too. Thanks for suggesting this playlist.
You’re so welcome!
Not up to running yet but definitely listen to music while walking. I like being able to zone out and just walk. I guess I’m not very social when exercising 😂
I’m not very social either!
I never thought of listening to faith music while running. Thank you for the suggestions.
You’re welcome! They help me so much!
I love running, thanks for the song suggestions!
You’re welcome!
These look like good songs. I have only heard of a few. I’ll have to check them out. I’m always looking for new inspiration!
Me too! I’m glad to have helped you find some new ones!
