I never run with music when I am training. A couple of years ago however, I had a great experience running the San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon and finished with a personal best time of 3:45, beating my previous personal best by about seven minutes! Race day wasn't excessively hot and the humidity was relatively mild. It may have been the race atmosphere or just being in San Diego, but having a new rock and roll band every mile, blasting out some rocking tunes, definitely keeps you going especially at miles 20 and 21! San Diego was a great marathon and I recommend it to everyone! For country music fans, I know that Nashville has a Country music marathon based on the same idea as San Diego's.
