Hello friends,

I am trying to put together my play list for running. So far I have been running using Pandora running station, but I think I have memorized all of the songs.

My husband copied all of his music that he has on his Google Music account to my account and I am trying to put together my list

Please share with me some of your songs that you run to and hopefully I can find them in my music catalog and create my own play list.

Thanks

    What kind of music do you like? Tastes can vary widely.

    Jog.fm

    I ignore th beat/cadence stuff and just find the music I like. And I am pretty eclectic. Tonight it went from Steve Earl to Macklemore to Miranda Lambert and finished with Van Halen. I love the random setting :)

    I have started running to podcasts. I listen to Another Mother Runner. Makes the time go by faster and if there is a great topic it makes me want to run so I can listen.

    I like a little bit of everything. Maybe not Hard Rock :)

    For me it's all about the beat. I have music from the 50's to right now. I bought a ipod shuffle so it's always a surprise what's going to come on next. Here's a couple of my favorites.

    Saturday Night- Bay City Rollers
    Rock and Roll- Sons of Bill
    Dance With Me- Ra Ra Riot
    Mambo #5- Lou Bega
    Trouble- Pink

    Currently, Timber on repeat ;)

    Any song by Flo-Rida is really good for me. Also, weirdly, Mumford and Sons makes me feel like running really hard. Work B*tch by Britney, Thunderstruck by AC/DC...my musical taste is very varied, but these are the random songs I've found so far that pump me up the most. When I feel like I have to stop, I play one of these songs and can usually push through.

    I got the soundtrack to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty a little while back, and I love running to it. It's upbeat without excessive pounding. It's great.

    My most embarrassing guilty pleasure song is "Shake it" by Metro Station. Another rocking tune that I heard on Breaking Bad is "Apocalyp****" by Molotov.

    I run to rock bands...Van Halen, Metallica, ACDC, etc... Puts me in a "I wannna smash this run" mode...if ya know what I mean lol

    ETA: That is if I run with music. 90% of my runs are music free.

    I like running to some post rock songs in between other faster songs by Shinedown/Imagine Dragons. I would recommend This Will Destroy You - Quiet and Explosions in the Sky and see if you like them.

    Recently added "No More Hell To Pay" by Stryper. I definitely hit peak pace when this song plays.

    try Songza, it's like Pandora but only playlist for all sorts of things, like running. It's worth a look.
