It's Not Right, But It's OK (Whitney Houston)
Minority (Green Day)
Flamethrower (J Geils Band)

Way too long to check if anyone else said this, but Burn it to the Ground by Nickelback.

Stronger by Erick Morillo & Eddie Thoneick Feat. Shawnee Taylor

This song always gets my *kitten* in gear when I'm struggling with interval training.

"Because you're stronger
Stronger than yesterday
Stronger than what it will take
Stronger than what they say"

I like "Under Pressure" from Queen and David Bowie. When it comes up on shuffle I just have to jog faster!!

Houdini by Foster the People. It gives me a happy and I want to keep working hard when it's on.

paulstephenmarshall · November 2013

to be honest im 53 yrs old and working my joints holds no fascination for me, that said im not totally sedentary as I swim 2/3 times a week (30 lengths), play golf 1/2 a week and walk my dogs twice a day for 45/60 mins each time,as I said im an old codger so when walking the dogs I listen to music(all old stuff) but I reckon for those who want to work out seriously "boys of summer" don Henley would be a real good tune to work to

paulstephenmarshall · November 2013

how about "whole of the moon1 the waterboys, in fact im up the field with my springer and lab right now and ill start off with the waterboys

Heavyd2g · November 2013

I like:

"Keep hope alive" by Crystal Method. A fantastic track from the 90's with a great rave tone tempo.

and

"Mdlwembe" by Zola. This is a not so obvious choice but when you listen to it you will see why it is perfect for running. The rythym, kwaito heavy vibe and the way the bassline is bought forward without taking over the track is brilliant. You can find this on the Soundtrack to the award winning Picture "Tsotsi", one of my favorite films.

Enjoy !

I'm Sexy and I Know it by LMFAO :P

CubicalF13 · November 2013

I like mostly instrumental, electronic or nu metal rock mixed with rap/reggae but the following non-rock tracks keep me motivated also:-

Christopher S - Rock This Club

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoNq69oXids

Sqeepo - Irish Swag

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oE9_ivE394

Serenity - Miasma

michable · November 2013

A few people have already said "dog days are over" by Florence and the Machine, but it deserves to be restated - it's a great running song!

Other songs that also make me run faster/ keep going:

Lonely boy - The Black Keys
Unite us - PNAU
Dammit - Blink 182
Prisoner of society - The Living End

And The most inspirational song of all time, IMO: "I am woman" by Helen Reddy (I think it only works for women, sorry guys!)
