If I've posted this in the wrong place, sorry I didn't know where to post it.

I'm forever looking for new music to run to. I'd love some recommendations. What do you listen to when you run?

    I gravitate towards all the angsty with a beat screamo crap I loved as a teenager. I have no idea why it's so fantastic to run to, but it gets me through. Old school Atreyu, A Day To Remember, Escape the Fate, Sleeping with Sirens...that kind of stuff. Pandora is my friend.

    I found a couple of 140 bpm playlists on Spotify that I really like running to.

    Most of my running playlist is Foo Fighters. The tempo fits perfectly with my preferred running pace.

    I listen to the Liquid Metal channel on SiriusXm. I tried hip hop but it didn't work out.

    I prefer to listen to podcast interviews, but I ran a 14km event yesterday with a random mix of music (I only had one ear phone in and didn't have it too loud) and it was pretty good. Very surprising, as music normally annoys me BAD.

    I like listening to a variety of music, but I noticed lately that I've been gravitating toward certain songs from the Rush soundtrack. I'm a huge fan of Hans Zimmer. Into the Red is a really good one from that soundtrack.

    Other than that I go anywhere from pop to metal depending on my mood.

    I like bouncy pop stuff, I'm only running 2m isn a day so my playlist is a short one, consists of the courteeners - summer, sash - just around the hill, shuffle- bombay bicycle club, ercola - every word, m83 - midnight city and Blurred lines but I'm changing that cos it annoyed me this morning!

    bouncy happy songs :)

    Finally thanks to the MFP support message board I found out how to find my topics. I've been searching for this forever. Thanks to everyone who posted. I'm sorry I wasn't ignoring it. I just couldn't find it.
