I grow tired of my two playlists I've created and am training for a half marathon, so I need some new stuff to get me pumped! What's on your running/work out playlist?

I'm sure there are many of these topics, but I wanted some fresh ideas. :smile:

Thanks, all!

    I'm open to most genres as long as it has a good beat that keeps me going. Currently I have a 90 minute mix of various Britney Spears songs (they are getting old), but also a mix made up of indie, rock, pop, rap. I like variety.

    Hole - Gutless
    Hole - Plump

    Or just the entire Live Through This album. Keeps me pumped up in a very angry kind of way.

    Or if you want a happier song, Dreaming by Blondie, has a smoking drum line that will keep your feet moving.

    Three words: Iron effing Maiden!!

    Seriously, I don't listen to music when I run outside but I have to when I'm forced on the treadmill. I usually go for the "longer" songs as I really get lost in them. Examples:

    Layla - Derek and the Dominoes
    Wasted Years - Iron Maiden (live version is the best)
    Free Bird (Live) - Lynrd Skynrd.

    I love Free Bird because the tempo changes and the guitar solos in the last half of the song really get me pumped.

    Hahah. I was just gonna suggest Nightmare, by Halestorm....

    Also, Seizure of Power (Resident Evil) by Marilyn Manson gets me pumped.

    Check out jog.fm, you can plug in the pace you run and it will give a number of songs that have a beat to match the pace.

    Sure, but what is the runner supposed to do for the for the first 5 minutes of the song (Free Bird), when the song is proceeding at like 40 beats per minute lol...

    Pharrell Williams -- Happy (the beat is a good pace and it's a very peppy song)

    I'm drawing a complete mental blank on anything else, but that's my newest addition.
