Joe Hardin’s 24-Hour Race Playlist

Joe Hardin’s journey through the Pinetum Mind Games Endurance Run, a grueling 24-hour race, is nothing short of inspiring.

Music can be a game-changer in endurance sports, and Joe’s experience is a testament to that.

  • “Dreams” by Fleetwood Mac: The dreamy vibes of this classic helped maintain a steady pace.
  • “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC: This electrifying track was perfect for intense bursts of energy.
  • “Life is a Highway” by Tom Cochran: An energetic tune that kept the momentum going.

Joe’s playlist wasn’t just a random collection of songs; it was a carefully curated mix of rock, EDM, pop, and punk, all designed to push him to his limits and beyond.

The Playlist’s Impact on Training

In this podcast, Joe and Jason discuss how the playlist influenced their training sessions. Joe’s race wasn’t the only proving ground—Jason put the playlist to the test during intense hill repeats and vertical training.

Highlights from Their Experiences:

  • Playlist Effectiveness: The right music can significantly enhance performance by providing rhythm and motivation.
