Corredors ETP Music

Music was my first love
And it will be my last
Music of the future.
And music of the past

To live without my music
Would be impossible to do
In this world of troubles
My music pulls me through

( Music.  John Miles 1976 )

LA RESPUESTA ESTÁ EN LA MÚSICA : CANCIONES PARA CORRER

Para aquellos a los que, además de ir viendo el paisaje, les gusta ir escuchando música, esta puede convertirse en una excelente fuente motivacional en el momento de empezar la carrera, en un estimulante fisilógico natural cuando ya nos hemos puesto en marcha, y en un poderoso aliado psicológico en los momentos de más fatiga.

La música resulta un excelente aliado motivacional para nuestros entrenamientos que nos entretiene, nos anima y que hace volar nuestra imaginación. No es difícil adivinar, además,  que escuchando lo que más nos gusta, podemos disminuir la percepción que tenemos sobre el esfuerzo que estamos realizando y el cansancio que vamos acumulando...

QUÉ ELEGIR…

Escoger el tipo de música es cosa de cada uno, pero si lo que queremos es motivarnos y generar energía tenemos que buscar canciones alentadoras. Hay grupos que son verdaderos maestros en este tipo de composiciones como los Muse, The Killers,… o bandas más “duras” como Nightwish o Epica… También hay algunas bandas sonoras que nos ponen la piel de gallina (Rocky o Gladiator son dos claros ejemplos). Si lo que buscamos es relajación mientras corremos a un ritmo más pausado, podemos recurrir a canciones más suaves o melódicas.

La mayoría de personas se suele conformar con las canciones más comerciales de cada grupo, que son las que escuchamos una y otra vez en la radio... Como que estas pueden resultar “cansinas”, a base de escucharlas repetidamente,  propongo ir un poco más allà en cuanto a sensibilidad musical y he recopilado  una serie de temas, puede que  no tan conocidos, pero que, igualmente, pueden remover estados de ánimo. No está de más ser un poco más selectos a la  hora de seleccionar la lista de canciones para entrenar... 

Asi pues, os presento un listado de canciones  para renovar vuestra discografía y salir a correr…  No todas son rollo “what a feeling…”, porque no solo de Flashdance vamos a vivir los corredores… Las hay de todos los tipos y para todos los gustos: powersongs,  épicas, potentes, alegres, tristes, optimistas, pesimistas, ligeras, depresivas, pegadizas, sinfónicas, desconcertantes, rarezas, antiguas, modernas,… i estan clasificadas por estilos de música i época,... En fin, las mejores para salir a correr... Posiblemente.
