Erikka's Run Faster Mix

Erikka loves yoga. But that doesn't mean she's some sort of anti-cardio zen-o-phile who wants to spend all day opening her chakras. She also loves to run, as in hard core distance run with brain-melting music to keep her speed up. Want to put in some speedy miles yourself? This is the playlist for you. Erikka's full description of its wonders after the jump. 

The word from Erikka:

"I once ran a six mile race to Slayer, which I strongly recommend you do not ever attempt. While I did get the best running time of my life, I collapsed at the end and didn’t move for a good half hour, gasping and groaning. These days, my running music list has become a strange mix of up-tempo techno/drum and bass and metal – schizophrenic, but both have a driving beat that keep you moving. It’s my playlist equivalent of having someone behind me screaming “GOOOOOOO!” This list definitely won’t be for everyone but when it’s 6 A.M., you haven’t had coffee, and your legs just don’t wanna, it does the trick."
