SOLAR FLARE | Songs for Trekking Up the Slope

By |

As you hoof it up the 18.8 percent incline of Libe Slope, this peppy playlist will support you — even as your legs start to give out. Hopefully these elevated beats will get you through your leg workout for the week, AKA the Slope’s steepest stretches (until you have to do it again tomorrow). Chappell Roan: “Good Luck, Babe”

Start your trek with a pep in your step. Roan’s girl-pop anthem reflects the short lived optimism that kicks off every journey up the Slope. I truly hope your burst of bright-eyed and bushy-tailed energy lasts.
