Hi all,

Trying to increase my running playlist - I find that some songs I pick are just too SLOW - I am trying for a steady pace of 5.0-6.0 mph and some faster songs (7.0mph).

Here are a few of my favorites:

Sandstorm by Darude
Fly like a G6 by Far East Movement (haha)
Headstrong by Trapt

List a few of yours! :-D Thanks!!

    I just downloaded Katy Perry's Teenage Dream (don't judge) and with the exception of one or two songs, they all really push me forward.

    I also use Pandora on my phone and type in 'Imma Be' by Black Eyed Peas and it gives a very very nice upbeat mix! I also envision myself partying on the beach while I listen so it helps as well!!

    On the cross trainer/elliptical (can't run at the mo) I play anything by Queen; don't stop me now, flash Gordon, I want to break free, etc and stuff like that.

    Modern pop doesn't really do it for me - must be getting old :-)

    wow, that's a great list lisajuly!

    Thank you :blushing: funny thing is that a couple of years ago, I wouldn't have listened to most of it other than old school disco and the 80s dance stuff. I was dating a guy who listened to club music and heard Boom Boom Pow and thought "hmm, this would be great to run to." I started listening to some other radio stations and the list was born :bigsmile:

    I love some ac/dc to run to. Like Thunderstruck or TNT. I need some rock music to keep me pushing. LOL

    This is me too. I seem to run best when I have Guns n Roses, AC/DC, NIN, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nickleback, Soundgarden or lost of classic rock pouring out of my headphones.

    The second best music for me to run to is disco - embarrassing, but the beat is perfect for my pace.

    I completely agree....sometimes the 80s rock completely does the trick, other times the dance music makes me run faster.

    I know someone else mentioned it before on the thread but Motley Crue's Kickstart My Heart...perfect running song. Also Ozzy's I Don't Wanna Stop. Just about anything by The Offspring also has the perfect tempo for running.
