25 Great Pump Up Songs
Every athlete has their own pre-race ritual. Whether it's an energy drink, meditating in the corner, or listening to a playlist on repeat-- it becomes a part of our athletic routine. Sometimes the best motivation comes from a really good string of lyrics, or a burst of adrenaline from a fun beat. Plus, you'd be lying if you said you've never sung to yourself during a really boring set (we've all done it).
Here are 25 songs that we think rock;

5 years ago.My favorite pump up song is the very intense "Burn It Down" by the all time great, Linkin Park. The main part is just really intense and gets me ready to race no matter how I feel.Add a CommentName * Your Email (will not be displayed) * To prevent automated bots from spamming, please enter the text you see in the image below:
