Does anyone have any classical/orchestral music that they use to workout/run etc. to?

I love Bugler's Holiday and Fiddle Faddle by Leroy Anderson
The Kraken from Pirate's of the Caribbean
music from Avatar
The Eve Of The War from War of the Worlds
Holst - Mars, Jig and the Dargason from St Paul's Suite
Gladiator - The Battle

It might not be the most common music but I find it interesting. Can anyone suggest anything? It's hard finding music that is fast enough and consistent.

    I could probably work out to the Diva Plavalaguna song from Fifth Element :)

    Many songs by Bond, especially Explosive.

    Also Wolfgang's 5th Symphony - Wolfgang Gartner

    (And I confess *nerd alert* that sometimes I really love to put this on a playlist for running - Pavarotti singing La donna è mobile from Rigoletto. http://youtu.be/8A3zetSuYRg )

    The number one girl who does it for me is Lindsey Stirling; Her music is so inspiring. Especially if you like to hike or take walks/jog. Her best songs are "Crystallize", "Transcendence", "All of Me", and "Phantom of the Opera" in my opinion.

    Most of The Planets by Holst. Jupiter in particular.

    Moonlight Sonata. Slow, melodic, not your typical running music, but it sets a pace.

    Also sprach Zarathustra from Strauss
