Whether you’re running outside or just hitting the treadmill, good music can often make the difference between a rave run and a blown goal. That’s why we’re putting together 90-minute playlists each month chock-full of songs with enough of a beat to keep you moving. For even more tunes, check out our list of the best running songs.
But even with the cheering spectators, plentiful aid stations, and iconic NYC scenery to gawk at, 26.2 miles is a long way to run. For this reason this month, I’ve put together a setlist of the best music the Big Apple has to offer. Starting with Frank Sinatra’s famous rendition of “New York, New York,” I’ve curated the perfect mix of songs by artists who at one point or another have called NYC home.
