Evidence suggests that listening to music can turn a mediocre workout into a stellar one. For some people, listening to music makes a workout tolerable, while for others it becomes a motivational tool to push even further.

This song is ideal for your next run, especially as a power song. Play this little number when you are having a weak moment and instead of stopping, kick it up a notch. You need a song with a fast pace to fire you up. Plus, the fact that this song lacks a typical song structure will keep your mind focused on the beat and not the lyrics.

8. Spectrum (Say My Name), Florence and the Machine
