2. Tips for Your Evening Glow Run

• Warm-Up & Cool-Down: Start playing “Sunset Lover” as you begin a gentle warm-up. After you finish your run, add a slow-tempo track (like “Intro” by The xx) or continue the playlist at a lower volume while you stretch.
  
  
• Focus on Enjoyment, Not Just Pace: A 5km run is long enough to get your heart rate up, but short enough to savor the surrounding scenery. Let the music guide your steps and immerse yourself in the atmosphere.
  
• Stay Visible & Safe: During evening runs, wear reflective gear or bright clothing. Keep your volume at a level that allows you to stay aware of traffic and other runners.
  

Embrace the transition from day to night with this “EVENING GLOW RUN” playlist. Let the mesmerizing sounds elevate your 5km, turning it into a personal journey through sound and motion. Breathe in the crisp air, lean into the beat, and discover a whole new side of running after sundown!
