    At the mo I'm really liking Raindrops (extended version) by Stunt, also in a similar vein is Carte Blanche by Veracocha. Both great for when you're in the middle of a run and really killing it :)

    Lately I love listening to AC/DC, zeppelin etc when I run. Really any song that you can strut to and think "I'm almost TOO awesome."

    I use my dance/ workout music while running. A lot of David Guetta, Sean Paul and J.Lo plus few 30 second to mars , AC/DC or Marilyn Manson tracks.

    it really depends on your taste in music.. run to music that you enjoy and helps focus in enjoying the songs.

    Some artists i enjoy kanye, jayz, kid cudi, lupe, drake, dj khaled and a few others ( i try to download or get an entire album and listen to that so i can listen to all their songs, its how i listen to new music).


    But my favorite album has to be Lasers by Lupe Fiasco, the songs are very up tempo and when i hear them it makes me just keep going.
