In this episode of What’s In Your Earbuds?, Joe and Jason from Run Tri Bike dive into the unexpected ways music impacts running performance, motivation, and community. Kicking things off with Joe’s story from the Mohican 100—where he shared earbuds and EDM with Derek Sproul before a mid-race injury—this episode explores how the right songs can carry you through even the toughest miles.
The duo previews the upcoming Everyday Athlete 5K Challenge happening in July, where they’re building a collaborative running playlist featuring Bruce Springsteen, Ellie Goulding, and yes, gangster rap. They're inviting listeners to contribute songs that inspire, push pace, or bring a smile mid-run.
You’ll also hear about the Track Tunes app, which connects Spotify and Strava to track how music influences your pace. From training with tempo to finishing strong with feel-good beats, this conversation is full of laughs, inspiration, and community-driven energy.
Whether you’re chasing a PR or running for joy, this episode will have you rethinking what’s in your earbuds.
