I would put in a variety of stuff and just skip ahead if what you hear isn't helping you out at that particular mile. During my 5K earlier this year I had a range from electronic to modern rock. What was most surprising was a rather slow dark metal song that you would never think would be motivating for a run but it actually caused me to gain new focus, almost as if the song was playing out my weakness and letting me go.
