I am in desperate need of a new playlist for my morning runs. I love the one I have but I really need to mix it up. What are your favorite songs to run to?

My playlist is as follows (chosen for either motivational lyrics or tempo - I know it's a little weird and random):

Home - Phillip Phillips
The Boys of Summer - Don Henley
A Little Bit Stronger - Sarah Evans
Up to the Mountain - Crystal Bowersox
My Body - Young the giant
Life is a highway - Rascal Flatts
Hold On - Alabama Shakes
Hall of Fame - The Script
Just Breathe - Pearl Jam

Thanks in advance!!

    Oooh another Alabama Shakes fan!

    I prefer swing music and hair metal. Take from that what you will!

    Well, I didn't want the whole list to be Duran Duran. :grinning: I picked through the list looking for the stuff that had a good running pace and took a little from each artist. I could also have listed Girl Panic!, Wild Boys, Union of the Snake and Notorious which are awesome for running, too.

    I need some new music so bumping, But I normally like top 100 stuff when running but also enjoy some older stuff also.
