    Yell Fire! By Michael Franti & Spearhead.

    I remember being on a treadmill and finishing up week 9 of the C25K. I was about 10 minutes away from finishing a FULL RUN for 30 minutes straight. I thought I wouldn't make it and then this song came on my iPod. I will never forget it because it gave me the motivation to KEEP GOING and finish that run. From now on, this is always on my playlist. :happy:

    You are kind of awesome.

    Thanks!

    I started C25k 5 weeks ago, and a good playlist has made it possible!

    I have a very eclectic collection of playlists. Sometimes I listen to a whole musical... like Evita or Les Miserable. I find that I can concentrate on the story, I love the movie and it really helps a long distance training session go quickly. Sometimes I listen to audiobooks, again this helps the long runs go by quickly. Of course I have lots of great music for outdoors and at the gym. some of my favourites are:


    I love Melissa Ethridge's "I Run for Life" and when I need to set a faster pace, I like:
    The Who -- Baba O'Riley
    Michael Jackson -- Black or White
    the Black Eyed Peas -- Boom Boom Pow
    Bryan Adams -- Can't Stop This Thing We've Started
    Gloria Estefan -- Conga
    Cascade -- Evacuate the Dance floor
    Enrique Iglesias (with Pitbull) -- I like How It Feels.
    Adam Lambert - If I had you and Never Close Your Eyes
    Shakira -- Waka Waka ... and Whenever, Wherever
    Bon Jovi - We weren't Born to Folllow

    Sometimes I have my own concert, sometimes, it's comedy. I have some great French and Italian songs I love. Really I mix it up so I don't get bored. I have an old iPod and my iPhone as back ups... can't imagine working out now without music.

    Seriously any of his stuff is great. I saw him in concert back in 2007 or 08, you leave his concert exhausted because of all the energy, you can't help but to dance around the entire show haha. Check out the song "little bit of riddim" by him too.


    Also the John Butler Trio - April Uprising cd
