The Best Running Playlist For a 5K

Sharing is caring!

I have spent the last few years participating in a local 5K, and I have created the BEST running playlist for a 5K!

For the last four years, in July and early August, I train to run in the local 5K. I have curated a running playlist that is the best one ever! It’s mostly a mix of pop music and some punk. It reflects my personality. I love turning on this playlist and running. I hope you enjoy this amazing playlist!

One of the ways I train for the 5K is by doing my 5K Training in 30 Days (+ Free Printable). This prepares me so well for each race. I love using this program. It’s not too hard, but just hard enough to get your body ready for a 5K.

Quick Information on this Running Playlist

So, a few things you need to know about this playlist are that it’s full of girly pop songs. I’m a HUGE fan of girly pop, especially when I’m running. I make no apologies for my love of this type of music. There are some outliers, but the majority is fun pop music with a good beat. Speaking of beat, the main reason I have my running playlist is because I run to the beat. If you have a specific pace that you run at, you can always check out the running playlists on Spotify and find the beats that work for you. I love hitting my stride to a strong downbeat.

Here’s my full playlist on Spotify if you want to check it out: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7md05kkgchHjhdCDC3UF9E

Final Thoughts

That’s the whole list of my running playlist. The total time on this is 1 hour and 45 minutes. I like a long set of music because then, each time I run, there’s a different set of music. I like a variety of music each time I run, but knowing that each song is awesome because it’s curated by me! So, I hope you enjoy this amazing music!
