If you haven't updated your running playlist, now's the time! There are so many great songs on my "kick butt" playlist, I kind of want to listen to it even when I'm not looking for my next PR. Here's what I'm listening to in 2016.
1. Cold War Kids - First
This is my first-mile song, my middle-of-the-run song, my speed song, my every time I run song.
2. The Ramones - I Wanna Be Sedated
This is the best 2 and a half minutes of your run, right here.

Sometimes all you need is a little Nicki to finish your run.
