So normally I run to upbeat songs but I switch it up sometimes and zone out to some nice relaxing slow music and really enjoy it, especially when running outside.
I want to try some new songs! What are some of the slower songs you like to run to??

My favorite right now is "Kiss Me" by Ed Sheeran. If you don't know it, youtube it and listen!! LOVE it! :love:

    "Charriots of Fire"

    The only downside is that you want to run on a beach, in slow motion.

    Pretending to run in slow motion whilst actually running at normal speed is probably quite a mental feat.

    Thanks! I am copying and pasting to a list. I know a few of these. It is funny that when you are trying to think of something you go blank. That's why I tried getting ideas here and its worked out :)

    Billy Joel - Why should I worry, you may do a hop, skip and a jump now and again though lol

    I think any song by Pop Evil will make you run that extra mile, they hit the mind emotionally in my opinion.

    you must be the only person that must run to Ed Shereen lol (I like the one where it goes, ''you need me man I don't need you''

    If I hear a slow song while I'm running, I feel like I'm running in slow motion.

    I like Carry On by Fun. It's slow, but still has a good, motivating tune.

    I like to run listening to Sunrise by Pulp, while I pretend to be Ivan Dobsky riding Mr. Hoppy.

    I don't run to music anymore. It distracts me from the rhythm of my feet on the road and the sound of my breath in my chest.

    But when I didn't know better, I liked running to Schubert.... the old dead composer....yeah, him.

    YES!!

    I've ran with music maybe once in the last 2 months. I like it much better that way. I can keep a steady pace much easier without music. You end up zoning out and thinking about random things all the time and the time actually passed really quickly.

    Slow songs? I just can't do that. It needs to have some sort of an up tempo beat.

    Beyonce - The best you never had .. when youre getting in shape after a break up has to be the BEST motivation

    Other than that I tend to have my whole ipod on shuffle as its quite entertaining when old school cheesy pop flashes up
