OMG...I don't know how I missed this thread the first time...for me...the running playlist is easy...oldies but goodies followed by newer stuff

first to last as follows:

Lita Ford's "Kiss me Deadly"

John Mellencamp's "Authority Song"

Springsteen's "Born to Run"

Temper Trap's "Sweet Disposition"

The National's "Bloodbuzz Ohio"

Ting Tings "That's Not My Name"

The Killers "Mr. Brightside"

and on and on and on

I'm So Excited by the Pointer Sisters

I don't run, I walk.

The only music is in my head.

You know the best part about running? It's stopping.

I run 15 hours a week on the treadmill at the gym. I don't have a play list, but I love listening to the music coming from the aerobics room, because it's upbeat and fun and FAST! If that music is not going, then I listen to whatever news is on one of the overhead TV's.

OMG...just thought about it...but I listen to four straight Froo Froos songs too...also, some Tom Waits and James Morrison for cool down

(plus, the all time greatest work out song...ACDC's "You Shook Me All Night Long"....if that song doesn't get you moving somehow, there is a problem)

Haha, I'm one of those people that have trouble keeping up with jogging (I don't run because I have knee problems) or even using the elliptical! Some songs that really keep me going are...

Iron Maiden = Where the Wild Wind Blows, Coming Home, Blood Brothers, The Talisman, Starblind, Hallowed be thy name, The Trooper

3 = Alien Angel, Automobile, You've Been Shot, The End is Begun

Nevermore = The Heart Collector, She Comes in Colors, Enemies of Reality

Iced Earth = Phantom of the Opera Ghost

Judas Priest = Hell Patrol

Megumi Hayashibara = Plenty of Grit and Breeze (from the Slayers anime series)

to name a few, I'd have to go back and look at my iPod for other songs.

So basically I like any music that has a good beat that keeps me going, and/or powerful music/lyrics...really gets me in the mood to keep going. Some of the songs I mentioned above have such epic sounding guitar parts too, extremely inspirational for running!

Running up that hill by Kate Bush. Unless you live in a flat area.

you should get that checked out,....
srsly.

I only run when the po po is chasing me. I guess the theme from Hawaii 5-O would be appropriate

I really like Scream by Timbaland.

It's not that I'm such a fan of ol' timbarific mctimbasons, as such, but that the rhythm is great for running. And there's one point where you can hear them breathing in and out, and it's great to use it to regulate your own pace, haha!
