Songs to Run To

I like that Justin Timberlake ft. Beyonce song (Can't think of the name of it right now) and "Teenage Dream" by Katy Perry, "Glamorous" by Fergie, "In This Club" by Usher.

I like upbeat songs - i.e. Lady Gaga, Britney, etc. I ran a 10K this past November and my "power" song was Bulletproof by La Roux. This may not be your type of music but it keeps ya pumped up!

Good luck on the race!

I like some old ones--It's raning Men, Holding out for a Hero--they are long and have great beats to them.

I usually listen to a lot of different kinds of music...anything that makes me feel like moving. My playlist changes a lot but heres what I'm currently listening to:

All these Lives - Daughtry
Airplanes - B.O.B feat. Hayley Williams
Come Down - Bush
Give me a Sign - Breaking Benjamin
How Could you - Saliva
I will not Bow - Breaking Benjamin
Love the way you lie - Eminem feat. Rihanna
Maybe - Sick Puppies
Never to Late - Three Days Grace
Pain - Three Days Grace
Sooner or Later - Breaking Benjamin
Take it Off - Ke$ha
Until the End - Breaking Benjamin
We R Who We R - Ke$ha
Say You'll Haunt Me - Stone Sour

I like AC/DC, Linkin Park, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Queen, Korn. Things that are fast paced and get my blood pumping!

This may sound trite, but I like to have "Highway to Hell" in my running playlist.

Everyone's taste is different....so it's hard to say. Personally, I run best when I'm listening to fun, upbeat, or nostalgic songs. Think up the most random songs that make you smile and/or laugh - and load those! Google the top 100 songs from the year you graduated high school or some other random year like that to get some ideas. Don't listen to it until the day of your race and you'll be flying through it!

Good luck!

Pink has a bunch of upbeat songs on her FunHouse album. (FunHouse, So what, Please don't leave me, Bad Influence.) I'm all about the girl power right now. Lol. Fergalicious gets me everytime cuz "I be up in the gym workin' on my fitness", Rhianna's Rude boy and Only girl in the world never fail at getting me to kick it up a notch. Good luck!!

Final Countdown

omg! i have that song stuck in my head! some kid was blasting that in the waiting room where i work! lol :grumble:

For me, the best thing to do is get Pandora on your phone. First of all, the music is tailored around what YOU love (and music tastes are incredibly specific... at least, they are to me). But the best part is that it gives you something to do while you're working out... you have to choose thumbs up or thumbs down for each song that plays so you can streamline your station even more. Since I've started doing this, I barely even notice time spent on the treadmill. And when I am doing something, like riding my bike, where I can't really interact as much, it's still a pretty awesome station... cuz I made it. :smokin:

Great suggestions. I am hoping to start running after a long (7 year!) hiatus. Looking forward to loading the iPod and getting the new Nike+ watch with TomTom GPS (it reminds you to exercise!).
I am thinking of including in my song list:

"Forget You" the Glee PG-rated version of Cee-Lo Green's F-you.
"Little Lion Man" by Mumford & Sons -- I hope there's a non-explicit (e.g. radio version of this song).
"Magic" - B.O.B.

I like the first 2 of these because of the pace - not too fast -- probably more like a fast walk pace/start of run.
