If you’re still looking for mid-year musical inspiration, I’d like to direct you to podcasts on iTunes.

I am addicted to these – they are free, I download about 10-15 of them every month and it gives me hours of music to train to. I understand that some of you like to run to audio books and other inspiring podcasts, which is completely fine, but those who want music in their ears, I recommend DJ Craig Gaibler.

He puts together some of the best podcasts by mixing together the latest tracks and coming up with great remixes. They run for over an hour and that’s surely to keep you going for your entire sweat session. If you’re looking to challenge yourself by the means of tunes, then download his podcasts from here.
