Labor Day weekend means summer is coming to a close. These tunes will prepare you for the nippier days to come.

Whether you’re running outside or just hitting the treadmill, good music can often make the difference between a rave run and a blown goal. That’s why we’re putting together 90-minute playlists each month chock-full of songs with enough of a beat to keep you moving. For even more tunes, check out our list of the best running songs.

As Labor Day fades out of the rearview window and those long summer days get shorter and shorter, autumn enters the building. Kids are headed back to school, pumpkin spice is popping up on the menus of every coffee shop in town, and your air conditioner is getting the much needed break it deserves. You may not be in constant need of a jacket just yet—but you will be soon as the temps keep dropping and a chill swirls in the night air.

Fall also means that marathon training season kicks into high gear, and runners are starting to rack up more and more mileage. Whether you run on chilly mornings or in crisp evenings, you’ll pound the pavement with less sweat than before. And while Boston and Tokyo may have relocated back to their spring slots this year, we’ve still got Berlin, London, Chicago, and New York coming up, along with hundreds of smaller races around the globe.

In honor of those embarking on fall marathons (and those just looking for a mood reset post-summer), we’ve got a nice and cozy autumnal playlist for you this September. It’s a little bit folk, a little bit country, a little bit alternative, and perfect for a main character moment under some changing leaves. It’s not all synth-laden pump up jams, but you’d be surprised how upbeat a fiddle can be—perfectly on theme for those long training journeys and quiet recovery runs. Welcome to fall! Please enjoy the vibes (and your post-run PSL).
