If there's one thing the military teaches our men and women in uniform, it's dedication and perseverance.

Having witnessed my own husband's exercise routine while he was in the Marines, I know that our service members learn how to motivate themselves to keep going while running - I've seen my husband do it and always wondered how he managed!

What was his secret?

MUSIC.

He still creates lengthy playlists when he goes on runs or to work out, and I think I've found something that will make his evening runs even more motivating - the Marx Runner app now available from iTunes.

What is the Marx Runner app? Very simply put, it is an app that allows you to create music while you run! Just don't forget sunscreen while you're out there, check out Runnerclick for ideas!

The Marx Runner running app was created by Mark Blum, an 8 year Air Force combat veteran and former physical trainer.

How does the Marx Runner running app work?

When you open the Marx Runner app, you will find that there are over 100 music files downloaded. Each time you are about to go for a run, you can set the drums, instruments, SFX and vocals to create your own music! You can shuffle if you aren't feeling particularly creative, as with the four sound libraries, and 100 music files, there is no doubt that you are going to enjoy what the Marx Runner app comes up for you!

When I told Chris (my husband) about the app, he wasn't surprised that an Air Force veteran created such a motivational app - after spending time serving overseas, it makes perfect sense that Mark Blum would channel his dedication and motivation into something to benefit everyone!

Pretty genius idea, right? The Marx Runner running app is such a unique concept that there is a provisional US copyright in the works!

Here's a glimpse of what the app looks like while in use...

I had fun playing around with the music while sitting on the couch and I can just imagine how great it would be if I were actually running - I already told Chris that he needs to download it too!

The greatest thing about the Marx Runner running app is that not only does it provide great music to motivate you while running, but it has all of the running stats you would want to keep track of while on your run - your blood pressure rate and running speed! So you only have to open one app while you are running to take care of both your music and tracking your stats.

You can download the Marx Runner app in the Health and Fitness category here in iTunes for $0.99.
