Best Running Songs EVER

Eye of the Tiger.....I mean what's better than motivation from Rocky?

This one came on yesterday while I was running and totally helped me run a little more even though I didn't want to at ALL.

I also have to add:

apash

Cake- Going the Distance
Beastie Boys- the song "you can't, you wont, don't stop"! I don't know the name but I say it repeatedly when I run :-)

CALake

"List of Demands" by Saul Williams- it was a Nike commercial and really gets me going!

My long-time favorite songs to run/workout to:

Separate Ways - Journey
Return of Salieri - Warmen (Well, ANY of the Salieri songs to be honest)
Every Little Thing - Ra (Cover of an original by Police)
Into the Moonlight - Dream Evil
When I Grow Up - ***** Cat Dolls
Hey Ya - Outkast


Anything fast with a hard beat. It helps a lot if there is killer guitar involved.

Absolute, number 1 motivator song for me is Metallica's For Whom the Bell Tolls.

Methinks this thread might inspire me to go make a couple playlists to run to. Usually I just shuffle all or run to Podrunner's pod cast (tonite was an hour of 160 BPM techno trance music. Good stuff!).

Dirt of Your Shoulder by Jay-Z. Good for a 5-6mph run.

Anything by New Politics, Beastie Boys, or Toadies. Although I did have a pretty mellow Liam Finn song come on one day that kept me going, "The Music Moves My Feet". Perfect timing on that one!

Almost anything by A7X makes me push a million times harder, especially Afterlife and Unholy Confessions.

I'm not sure how they work for running, since I'm just starting C25K, but these songs give me lots of extra energy for my other workouts:

Cee Lo Green- Forget You (the non-radio-appropriate version is even better for getting me fired up)
Ricky Martin- La Vida Loca (please don't judge)
Arethra Franklin- Respect (a classic!)

shauna121211

daft punk - harder, better, faster, stronger

Frankenbarbie01

Autograph-Sick of Sarah
Dreaming /Sunday Girl/One way or another-Blondie (ok...anything by Blondieor Debby Harry)
