    If you don't have it already check out American Made Music to Strip By from Zombie. He remixed a lot of his popular songs and they seem to be some of the more workout friendly versions.

    Well depending on your tastes in music...i tend to run to sets of music...usually different genres of house music and the sets usually run anywhere from 45 min to 2 hours of non stop great songs. If your interested message me for some great djs and where to download there music for free.

    I like "Ego Rap" for when I run. Jay-Z & Kanye West have about 50% of my running playlists. And every run starts out with Kanye West's "Power"

    I find I run and lift heavy best with heavy metal or dubstep. Depending on my mood though, sometimes something relaxing like arcade fire or patrick wolf or sigur ros helps. Depends on your taste and mood too...

    I'm a bit embarrased to admit this but "Run" by MBLAQ and "Crayon" by G Dragon. Oh, and "I'm the best" by 2NE1. My sister is a K Pop fan so I've been exposed to these songs. The kind of music I normally listen to isn't very good for this sort of activity. Or I have to choose the happiest songs in my music library. I listen to M.I.A. a lot, too.

    I am SUPER eclectic when it comes to music preference.

    If you like hard rock, I REALLY love Tool when I run...it gets me pumped. All their songs are great, but Jambi has a great beat as does Ticks & Leeches.

    Other Suggestions:

    Born to Run - Springsteen (duh!)
    Mumford & Sons - I Will Wait
    Jason Aldean - Take a Little Ride
    Country Girl (Shake It For Me) - Luke Bryan
    Alive - Pearl Jam

    My two new favorites are My Oh My by Tristan Prettyman and Hall of Fame by The Script. Someone already mentioned this one, but One More Night by Maroon 5 is a good one, too. Plus it has the added bonus of making me think of my ex, which makes me work harder.

    Check out the website jog.fm. It lets you enter the pace you'd like to run, and suggests songs with a BPM at that pace. It's a great site. It'll even let you create a playlist and buy all the songs on it from itunes.

    The best best best song for right at the beginning of a run is Something Good Can Work by Two Door Cinema Club. There's something about how it starts and builds up that just makes me feel really good about getting going.

    Some other suggestions:

    Ru Paul - Glamazon (totally cheesy, I know, but it beats the mid-run blues)
    Macklemore - Thrift Shop
    Grouplove - Tongue Tied
    Two Door Cinema Club - What You Know
    Aceyalone - All For U
    USS - Anti-Venom
    Tim Armstrong - Into Action
    No Doubt - New
