    I go for hardstyle for powerwalking. I'm no runner, so I need something to distract me - I need lyrics or something I can sing along to in my head.

    You have to check out www.rockmyrun.com! They have a whole bunch of dj mixes of varied music and lengths and they list the bpm of each mix. Good stuff to keep you motivated. I think that what I like best is it is stuff that is different than normal for me.....keeps it interesting and the run flies by. Otherwise I end up listening to the same playlist over and over and I get bored.

    You and I would get along just fine :) I love "whatever" by Godsmack too.....put it in the mix about the point where I feel like I'm going to run out of steam and it can power me through!

    im very strange but i actually like listening to spanish music while i run, like bachata. for instance i do the latin essentials channel on pandora. the beats are pretty constant during all of the songs, so you dont get messed up while you are running, and they are fast paced enough to keep up a nice jog

    bump for later...but I have to add that the LMFAO song "Put that *kitten* to work" is the very best song I have on my ipod right now to run to.

    Try Pandora if you have an iphone or ipod. Put in your favorite song and keep liking the songs you hear and give a thumbs down to the songs you don't.. It will give YOU exactly what you want!

    My personal favorite, from my favorite run, Rock Me Amadeus.. shhhhhhhhh!

    I just put my Flo Rida station on Pandora.... it has a lot of the songs listed already and a really strong bass beat. :wink: Perfect for a running pace.

    I love it!

    The ironic thing is that I'm very reserved, kind of quiet, but when I run, I like my music to be hard and I don't want to think.
