Brandon Walker’s picks:

1. ‘You Brought the Sunshine” by the Clark Sisters

“My first steps on a morning run tend to begin here. The Clark Sisters’ melodic exchange, buoyed by a sound birthed by the Master Blaster himself, uplifts. I have three versions of this song in my rotation: the first is its original form, released in 1981. The second is a live version from the eighties — eight minutes of downright soul, a party curated by the voices of four sisters who were placed on this earth to uplift. My third edition is another live performance. This one from the 2010s. I go back and forth, depending on how I feel that morning. Nonetheless, to be reminded about the blessing that is basking in sunshine is a perfect way to start any day.”

2. “It’s Over Now” by 112

“Hear me out. This is a breakup song; so, the tension gets you fighting. I know I need it whilst approaching and passing the two-mile marker. If you sample, I think you must hear the song differently. Let the pulse of the base guide you, as most of the song’s tension thrives there. The vocals catch up once the song reaches its bridge. At that point, it’s an explosive, aggressive, push through your fears type of tune.”

Ari Alexander’s picks:

1. “Intro (From Darkest Before Dawn)” by Pusha T - One of my top two songs I get hyped to.

2. “Many Men” by 50 Cent - One of my top two songs I get hyped to.
