How Music Fuels Your Miles

Music has a unique ability to transport us to another place. Hosts Joe Hardin and Aum Gandhi discuss how tracks like Eddie Vedder’s Into the Wild soundtrack and Weezer’s “Island in the Sun” evoke emotions and bring memories to life. Whether it’s a nostalgic hit or an adrenaline-pumping anthem, music plays a vital role in shaping our mental and emotional experience while running.

Looking ahead, the podcast plans to explore topics like one-hit wonders, instrumental pieces, and music from different decades. The discussion serves as a reminder of the diverse ways music influences our training journeys.

Music’s Role in Challenging Times

Music doesn’t just motivate; it also comforts us during life’s toughest moments. From the challenges brought on by the LA fires to personal struggles, the right melody can be a source of solace and strength. Joe and Aum’s reflections remind us that music is more than entertainment—it’s a tool for emotional resilience.
