This is the first playlist I haven’t “road tested” so to speak all the way through.
Whether it’s on the trails or out on the road I like to feel the beats out before I bring
them into a playlist. Luckily I was able to get about halfway through on a 5 mile trail run
on a beautiful 60 degree Saturday, before the first 4 inches of Fall fell haha. It starts off
with some speed to warm up and of course a throwback cover of ‘Higher Love’ just for good measure,
if that doesn’t warm you up and make you smile check your pulse! Next up is 4 songs in and out of the saddle,
starting that moderate climb and also throwing in some powertaps on ‘In the Pines’. The next 3 tracks
have very different energy to keep the feeling and motivation fresh. Following ‘Here We Go’ the energy shifts
again for the second half of the ride. With some strong remixes with driving beats, it even brings in some
new John Mayer although not his psychedelic Grateful Dead persona. We finish with some speed and then cool down with
a new remix of one of my favorite summer spin tracks ‘Set on Fire’ to seal in that new threshold.
