Beats & Triathlons: How Music Fuels Training & Racing | What's in Your Earbuds

Music and endurance sports—two things that go hand in hand. In this latest episode of What's in Your Earbuds?, hosts Aum Gandhi and Joe Hardin sit down with Adam Turréy, founder of Lucid Motion Fitness, for a conversation that will have you laughing, nodding in agreement, and maybe even adding new songs to your training playlist. From discussing the barriers to inclusivity in triathlon to breaking down the power of pop music in training, this episode is packed with energy, inspiration, and, of course, some incredible song recommendations. Adam shares the mission of Lucid Motion Fitness—helping minority and low-income athletes access the world of endurance sports—and introduces their first sponsored triathlete, Brandon. But it wouldn't be What's in Your Earbuds? without music talk! Adam drops his song pick, "Wave of Mutilation" (UK version) by Pixies, and introduces the Listening Club LA Instagram page, a hub for music lovers to share and discover tunes. The conversation dives into pop’s impact on training, with Olivia Rodrigo and Linkin Park making the playlist cut. Plus, we get an update on the ever-expanding What's in Your Earbuds? playlist—now nearly 10 hours long and growing! Looking for new beats to power your next run, ride, or swim?
