Play List

ChristinaLConway

Whats on your playlist while you run? I have a playlist of Marine Cadences and I love listening to them while I run. They make me smile, help regulate breathing and give me a consistent beat to run, walk to.

This is the play list I used for all of my C25K runs, copied this from my iTunes, reading through it made me laugh, some of them are a little embarrassing, but my dad told me never to be ashamed of music that I liked....even if it is Flock of Seagulls :P (that being said 'I Ran' is obviously a brilliant song for running)

I found this idea the other day, so I thought I'd share. One of the fields you can add and modify in iTunes is beats per minute (bpm) for a song. You can find free BPM calculators online and calculate the BPM for your songs. I want to create a playlist with songs that are a bpm-match to my pace. That way I can just run to a consistent beat, kind of the same principle as your marine cadences! Fun stuff!

Personally, I set a pandora station based off of the white stripes and go from there. Also, an odd addition- Ben Kweller- This is war.

Since we run together with headphones on, lately my boyfriend and I pick an album or a band and play it at the same time so we're listening to the same thing while we run.

Yesterday was Blood Mountain by Mastodon and last week was Dethklok all week. Dunno what we'll do next.

@ drblythe even the Help song by the Beatles is a good song for the ending because I know that is what I am going to be yelling after this LOL

Have you looked at Rock my run. Somebody else on MFP flagged it up and I have just downloaded some (free) music from here...it's great. Take a look! http://www.rockmyrun.com/

I keep telling myself I am going to make a running playlist, but I haven't yet. Some of my ideas are:

Pantera - Walk
TOOL - The Grudge, Forty six and 2, Hooker with a Penis
Cake - Going the Distance
Soul Coughing - Super Bon Bon
Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire
Ministry - Theives
Radiohead - Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
Artic Monkeys- Bet you look good on the dance floor

I am open to more ideas too!

My run playlist is still evolving. Right now it ranges from Prince to Linkin Park/Jay-Z to Alice in Chains to Fiona Apple. But the one song that always seems to pop on when I need a kick in the pants is Chris Brown/Busta Rhymes Look at Me Now. I can not help but sprint!
