Everything about Lana Del Rey oozes sex. Delicate, cocaine-ravaged sex.

It's freakin' Friday!

05.05.2013 interval run playlist

I use this playlist for interval runs. I actually hate doing planned runs so typically I just don’t. But I should. With a good playlist, I can change my intensity with a rawkin' song rather than mere force of will. The beauty of this is, as I get in better shape, I can find more places to throw in sprint intervals. Also, the timing of my intervals depends on how I’m presently feeling each song. So every run varies and my body doesn't acclimate to a set workout.

Have an idea beforehand of how many intervals you want to do, as well as an average length for them. Then just feel out the songs. Change your intensity accordingly and get in all your sprints. Kick your own ass. It feels good to work hard.

“Dog Days Are Over” is your last speedwork song so kick it in! Throw in some sprints – Building with the claps, maxed out on the chorus, then rein it back until the next claps. That means you’ll have 3 sprints with teeny rests between. Go with the song, you’ll hear it.
