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

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 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

Sqeepo - Irish Swag

Serenity - Miasma

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!)
