Best 5k Running Songs Playlist – Spotify Playlist

September 16, 2015
This post may contain affiliate links. Purchasing through them help support this website.

When I wrote this post last week about reaching out to all my readers, bloggers and non-bloggers, I was blown away with all the feedback that y’all gave me.  Some of the best takeaway points were that a lot of people are digging the fitness printables/posts that I have done.  Clearly for those of you who follow me on snapchat (@meetatthebarre) you know I like to share tons of great fitness songs with you.  I used to obsess over making the best spin playlists when I taught.  Now, I have switched that over to running.  So I thought I would share with you my absolute best 5k running songs playlist.

I am such a motivated to music runner.  Let’s not get crazy here though, I am not a marathon runner by any means.  I did a half marathon once and my body was angry with me afterwards.  I am really the casual run after work type of gal.  Even though I do have long legs (as my friend Abbey likes to say “watch out giraffe girl coming through“) or after the occasional drunken stumble “gazelle down“…….I am not a fast runner.  Like not at all.  So my 5k playlist is typical 30-35 minutes, with a cool down.  For all of those 25-28 minute 5k peeps around here, well you just got a few more songs to add to your list.  Without further ado….

My ultimate best 5k running songs playlist.

Oh here is your printable or pin it to pinterest (I would love you it you shared!)

Best 5k Running Songs

[bctt tweet=”Check out Meet @ the Barre Ultimate Running playlist”]

I hope you enjoy this playlist!  Let me know your thoughts on this best 5k running songs.  Isn’t it so much easier to run when you have a perfectly timed and motivating song list?  Are you guys digging these workout posts?  Now go and burn up that run with these songs.  Tag me and let me know what you think of it!  If y’all are loving this post, I would really appreciate it if you would pin the playlist!  Get that workout energy out there.  xoxoxo

    Music seriously is SO important. I could be running and really losing motivation and the right song comes on, bam, I’m back at it. I’ve definitely not heard most of the songs on your list so I will definitely check em out!

    I love running playlists! A fun way to find new songs, or just listen to great music while you’re running. Something about running to the beat of a song is magical when it happens :)

    Sweet! I could totally use this. It’s my goal to get back into running this fall. I’ve had a muchhhh longer break than I anticipated. I was ready to rip and roar this summer, but… Girl, I’ll just be honest. I didn’t want to deal with the heat. Ha!

    Ok we seriously have the same taste in music between your running playlist and all your music in your morning snaps. Don’t forget the Zedd concert coming up on October 17th at USF ;-)

    Music is a must have when I run, and I usually just listen to Pandora, but I will definitely have to check out these tunes.

    Great list, lady! I always enjoy reading other people’s running list because usually they are quite different from mine. I like listening to old school music, it just gets me moving. I posted my favorite workout list a few years ago and here it is just for you http://pinkypersistence.blogspot.com/2012/08/inspire-me-healthy-top-tunes.html

    I actually cannot listen to music when I run. I’ve tried so many times, and my hubby has to when he runs, but I just can’t. I’m too focused on my breathing and the music throws me. Even on my looooong runs, no music. Love some of these songs though!

    Thank you for you sharing your playlist! I’ll check out these songs and maybe add some of them to my workout playlist. I’m not a runner but Chris is. He keeps trying to convince me to run with him too haha. I just run to the bus or the train when I see it arriving haha. :-)

    OK… help a girl out. I was using Pandora this past weekend running & the play list was awful. Just the same 3 songs over & over… so on Spotify, can I access these already made play lists? I am downloading the app right now – I need good music to get me through!

    Is it sad that I only recognize Bruno Mars’ name?! I’m such a country music girl, even for workouts. Or 80s. I definitely need good music to fuel my workouts and try to make new playlists every month or so to keep me entertained or I’ll quickly fizzle out!

    Oh and (back in the day) when I ran my first and only marathon, MP3 players had just come out and you weren’t allowed to listen to music for the race so I didn’t even during training. Can I tell you how hard that was?!
