Wearing headphones to complete a marathon: cheating or boosting? For some marathoners surveyed, it’s primarily about disconnecting from the environment: the cheers of the supporters, the course atmosphere, or even the birds singing. Many do not see music as the key to success. However, for others, it’s essential. Whether you are a fan of running with music or just curious to try a new way of jogging, this playlist might just change your mind.

Running a marathon with music? Not for everyone. But for those who find it stimulating, or who just want to experiment, here’s the playlist put together for the occasion by the editorial team.
