If there’s one thing that can make you run faster, bike longer or swim farther, it’s music. No seriously – it’s true! Research has shown that music distracts you from the pain and fatigue you feel during exercise. Not to mention it’s a total mood booster that can make activities seem easier, which often leads to a longer workout. Yassss!
