    I listen to the '90s Club Bangers' station on songza (the website, or iphone app)

    It's artists like Notorious B.I.G. , Busta Rhymes, Will Smith, Montell Jordan, etc. I get a kick outta it, it's upbeat, and it's the stuff I grew up to.

    They have hundreds of other stations, and I frequently find new songs I really like.

    Try listening to it for an hour or two, and you'll find some great stuff for sure.

    :)

    Almost anything by Muse.

    When I was running daily, I would put Muse on shuffle and then run to the beat of the song.. Slow beat - light jog, fast beat - sprint, 2 second pause between songs - walk. :) it made running into more of a game and kept things exciting.

    High for This- Ellie Goulding

    The best song for running is "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera.
    Too bad it's only a 3-4 minute song though. :(
