4 Hour - Marathon Running Music Mix

Marathon in 4 hours 

It is important to run consistent and steady paces throughout the marathon. Remember that the ‘Hitting the Wall’ experience might happen to you between the 32km and 36km mark – so you must be ready to cope.
Thus we have structured this running music mix of run2rhythm music the way we have – to help you through any tough moments.
However, no music, motivation blurb or anything else will get you there unless you have put in the hours of training and ‘the miles in the legs.’

Start easy and run with smooth consistent paces.
You can mix the music around anyway that suits you.

All of our tracks are 15 minutes long so that gives you good rhythm for extended periods.

We have chosen music from 4 of our albums – Tracks can be purchased individually or as an album.

With album purchases tracks are still separate tracks
163bpm - Rise Album by Adrian Vincent,
163bpm - Looking for a Clue by Harald Riedel
163bpm - Stopwatch by SolePower
166bpm - Electrostatic Step by Adrian Szondy
We have allowed an average speed of 6min per km for the music @163bpm and 5min 25secs for the music at 166bpm.
You may run faster or slower than these times depending on fitness, technique and stamina and conditions on the day – however this music will help you towards achieving your running goal times.
At the start of the run you will be excited and also a bit nervous. The key here is to NOT start out too hard – you have a long way to go.

Good Luck and Enjoy
