I have 2 weeks until my next half marathon and I need some help putting together a motivating play list. I have never run with music before because I have been fortunate enough to have friends to talk to take my mind off the run. But on race day everyone does their own thing and I would love some tips on some music to keep me going. Just shout out your favourite! Thanks in advance!

I love anything by GirlTalk (they are mash-up artists). It all has a good beat and keeps me motivated and moving.

Dubstep!!!! Especially skrillex! It pumps you up to do intervals when the beat drops.:happy:0

My running playlist is always full of old cheesey music that I know every single word to. It gives me something else to focus on rather than the run, I just sing along (hopefully) in my head. Stuuf like the b52s, mc hammer, etc0

For some reason I always run to stuff I normally don't like. On my list right now is;
Calvin Harris
Niki M
George Harrison (I got my mind set on you - the track fr the 80's. Super poppy)
Havana Brown
Pit Bull
Chris Brown
BASICALLY any pop beat tech house music that is on the radio right now
I am normally a very Indi Rock and Bluegrass kinda girl.
I think the fact that I don't like the music makes me run to it harder lol0 -
Agreed on GirlTalk. I've listened to all his albums to death!
Bumping for some new ideas.0 -
I don't run often, and when I do, it's on the treadmill, but here are the songs that really get me in the zone:
Ted Nugent-Stranglehold
AC/DC-Back in Black and Highway to Hell
Bryan Adams-Run to You
Theme from Rocky (of course!)
Survivor-Eye of the Tiger
Black Eyed Peas-Let's Get it Started0 -
When I'm running I like to listen to metal, but when I'm exhausted from that I like to stop and just focus on the exercise.0

On the Slacker satellite radio, there is a channel called "Dance Workout" and another called "BPM Workout". I really like these because they keep a steady tempo from song to song that I can easily run at 5+ mph. Other than that, I looooove disco...it just makes you happy! Give it a try!0

something with a quick beat and not too many words (like progressive house music)0
-
I've been all about The Prodigy lately for running.0
-
Lords of Acid, and old Ministry. Nice fast beats that pump me up.0

I am 65 so I tend to go with the oldies Beach Boys seem to have a beat that suits my stride usually as well as old 50s rock old Blues BB King sometimes the words get me going the revving engines in the car songs pick me up and I usually need to have some juice after mile 5 to get me revved up again0
