The Right Workout Music Can Make All the Difference

Tonight I was doing a run and just picked my video game soundtrack playlist and put it on shuffle mode and let it pick a random album. It played a couple songs from the Shatter soundtrack which is decent upbeat but kind of ambient music that put me in a bit of a zone. Unfortunately I skipped a couple songs that I heard way too much when playing the game which meant I was quickly onto the next album on the playlist.

Which turned out to be Thomas Was Alone. Fantastic game, great soundtrack but unfortunately for me and my run, the sound track is more of a mellow, laid-back vibe to it. Wonderful for thinking, writing, coding, etc. Awful for a fast-paced workout.

Every time I started to get up a good pace, it would settle into a more mellow part of the soundtrack and I just could not keep a good pace to save my life. Which is a huge problem when you're running from zombies. See previous post.
