Recomendations - music for a running playlist

not everyones cup of tea but I listen to some uplifting trance...keeps me motivated

Shinedown and nickleback are good choices too

I love the app rock my run.

Meatloaf Bat Outta hell album

Pink Floyd The Wall album

This is my Running Music

This is my Lifting Music

This is my Spinning Music

Depends on your genre preferences. I'm a rock/metal kinda girl...disturbed, five finger death punch, Metallica, volbeat, breaking Ben. Stuff like that keeps me going. I throw in some random rap and dance. Blink 182 is fun and pretty upbeat for cardio.

This is me too!! I also have a ton of Fall Out Boy for running. The beats are pretty good...For example my songs know what you did in the dark...Great running song.

I like Turning Japanese, too, but by Liz Phair.

My cadence is around 180, too. Here's some others:
Violet by Hole
Tantalized by The Church
Rolling by Soul Coughing
Mr. Blue Sky by ELO
Head Over Heals by Go-Go's
Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division.

JogFM is s good website for music. You can enter in BPM, RPM, or MPH and it will generate tons of music that fit all kinds of genres.
