    I did Couch to 5K with DJ Beatsmith, he has mixes that aren't just for that. I like them because of the beat. It keeps me going.

    ooh I love this topic! I have been perfecting my workout/running play list for months now! I'm just gonna list all of mine, you may have different musical tastes so feel free to disregard any that you don't like but its a mix of really fast and some middle tempo so you're getting both the high beats when you're running and the softer beats while you're walking/slowing down.

    F***ing Perfect-Pink
    Accidentally in love- counting crows
    Born this way-Lady GaGa
    Aint no other man-Christina aguilera
    Alright-darius rucker
    We R who we R-Ke$ha
    Every girl like me-sugarland
    ooh ahh-grits
    Raise your glass-pink
    Ridin' Solo-Jason Derulo
    I like it-Enrique Iglesias
    Animal-Neon trees
    The Time (dirty bit)-Black eyed peas
    Teenage Dream-Katy Perry
    Soar-Christina Aguilera
    Let it rock-kevin rudolf
    Bad Romance-Lady Gaga
    Imma be-black eyed peas
    King of wishful thinking-Go west
    do it well-jennifer lopez
    on the floor-jennifer lopez
    Wanted-jessie james
    Rock your body-Justin timberlake
    Dream lover-Mariah Carey
    Ladies-sarai
    Semi Charmed life-Third eye blind
    She likes me for me-Blessed union of souls
    Waking up in vegas-katy perry
    I wanna dance with somebody-whitney houston
    Dutty Dutty-Sean Kingston
    Walk this way-aerosmith
    Price tag-Jessie J

    Those are just a few of my favorites! Hope some of them work for you as well!

    It really depends on your taste. I like rock music but can't really run to it.
    Pop music keeps me going most runs, the faster the beat usually the better (not that big into techno) So on my Ipod is: Katy Perry, Ashley Tisdale, Avril Lavinge, Black eyed peas, Enrique Iglesias, Fall out boy, Selena Gomez, P!nk, the Go-Go's, Alizee, Smash Mouth, and Neon Trees. A few rock songs but mostly fast pop songs.

    Hope it helps

    Whatever I think of Kanye West personally, his song Stronger always motivates me to do that extra bit. It is definitely my go-to song for when I need an extra boost!

    kanye west (f. jay-z & nicki minaj)- monster
    lil wayne (f. cory gunz)- 6 foot 7 foot
    willow smith- i whip my hair
    katy perry- firework
    wiz khalifa- black & yellow
    beyonce- get me bodied (extended mix)
    kanye west- workout plan
    ting tings- that's not my name

    adding lady gaga- born this way to my playlist 2nite, thanks!!!

    I agree with Kanye's Stronger, as well as Black Eyed Peas, Ke$ha, Katy Perry, Taio Cruz, Pink, Enrique, Lady Gaga, Pitbull, Usher, Flo Rida, David Guetta, etc.

    I just went through a 90's dance compilation, and found it to be quite fun to run to. Here are a few suggestions:
    Show me Love - Robin S
    Gonna Make you Sweat - C+C Music Factory
    Power - Snap!
    Everybody Everybody - Black Box
    Get Ready for This - 2 Unlimited
    I like to move it - Reel 2 Reel
    We like to party - Vengaboys
    Fat Boy - Max-a-million
    etc...

    A few others that strangely enough get me to keep pushing through:
    Outta your mind - Lil John
    Mortal Kombat theme song

    I'm a huge rihanna fan so even if I feel like dying I hear one of her songs and I'm ready to go more. Here are a few of my faves.

    Only girl in the world

    Disturbia

    Please don't stop the music

    I also like to run to paralyzer by finger eleven.

    JLo's new one- On the Dance Floor is super good.
    I also like Rhiana's new one, S&M - a little kinky but it's got a great beat!
