b-boy bouiebaisse: listen, they’re cringe and terrible but when i tell you cree’s “my sacrifice” was like fucking nitro for the last chunk of the 5K i ran this morning, you better believe it

Cree, as a substance, is banned from the Olympics. It is that powerful.

"what's your 'chariots of fire' track" would be a good engagement prompt

there's a venn diagram for songs i like and songs that are great on a run and it's not a simple circle

ah, smart. picking music you instinctively want to run away from as fast as possible.

Can only hear “My Snack-rifice” now

Along similar lines: Evanescence’s “Bring Me to Life.”

I went to karaoke recently and there were back to back Creed songs that turned into "CREED OFF" I have not seen people pop off like that in a hot minute

Do you choose running songs by tempo? I found a running cadence that felt natural then tried to find songs with that speed, wondering if there’s a good way to search songs by beats per minute.

how’d you do??

28:30! which is pretty decent for me!

alright!! plenty of rest and calories and hydration fluids for the rest of the day!!

Not me in my car looking left and right before I belt out Can you take me higher!?

Crossing the finish line, with arms wide open

hell yeah pump those afterburners bruh

honestly, to the degree that any post-grunge holds up, My Own Prison holds up better than, say, Bush's Sixteen Stone

One less reason to run

Cringe sure, but they’re not terrible. Backlash is a shitty thing.

There's a few high-level athletes I know that have admitted to employing Nickleback for their hardest training sessions. They wouldn't even describe it as a guilty pleasure, but as a fuel. I still judge them.

Similarly - Flames by David Guetta and Sia, and Feuer Frei! By Rammstein always make me go faster

Honestly, thinking about how the song ends, imagining it playing upon crossing the finish line... I can see it

Long distance runner- iron maiden

Spiritual twin to Van Halen - “Dreams”, perhaps? (To be clear, not dissing on VH, but in retrospect Dreams is a bit on the nose. Still gets me though.)

Creed, boy, I don't know....

Literally this morning the sun started to wake me up and I vaguely thought of "my sacrifice" and I was AWAKE.

It's amazing what the right track can do combined with endorphins.

It's miles 1.5 to 2.5 that are the dark night of my 5k soul.

I was searching Cree on Apple Music and was confused. Then searched my sacrifice. Oh. I could see that helping to ignite the afterburners!

hell ya
