150 Running Songs

We’ve been doing this blog for three-plus years, and that also means we’ve been posting Running Songs of the Week for three-plus years. In fact, our first post ever was a RSotW, “Say It” by the Beastie Boys, less than a week after they released their final album. (RIP MCA.)

So now I’ve done you a solid and compiled all 150 RSotW in one place. It’s about 8 hours of music, or roughly enough to fill two marathon playlists.

Get after it! — Mags
