Exercising can often be a gruelling process, and at times terribly mundane; running on the treadmill for 30 minutes can be really uninspiring and can lead you to give up on your workout. So how do you fuel your motivation? As someone who is currently training for a marathon and thus spending a large quantity running, I have found that music is the key to maintaining a positive attitude. So here at HCX we have decided to bring you the top ten best running songs to listen to, which will keep you in the right frame of mind throughout your workout.
1. Cinema (feat Gary Go) – Benny Benassi
