    Eye of the Tiger.....I mean what's better than motivation from Rocky?

    This one came on yesterday while I was running and totally helped me run a little more even though I didn't want to at ALL.

    Cake- Going the Distance
    Beastie Boys- the song "you can't, you wont, don't stop"! I don't know the name but I say it repeatedly when I run :-)

  • My long-time favorite songs to run/workout to:

    Separate Ways - Journey
    Return of Salieri - Warmen (Well, ANY of the Salieri songs to be honest)
    Every Little Thing - Ra (Cover of an original by Police)
    Into the Moonlight - Dream Evil
    When I Grow Up - ***** Cat Dolls
    Hey Ya - Outkast


    Anything fast with a hard beat. It helps a lot if there is killer guitar involved.
  • This was my "set list" on the iPod when I ran a 5K yesterday (9/11).

    Miami 2017- Billy Joel
    New York Groove- Ace Freely
    Cult of Personality- Living Colour
    Running on Empty- Jackson Browne
    It's My Life- Bon Jovi
    Sledgehammer- Peter Gabriel
    Walk- Foo Fighters (always end my runs with this song)

    Absolute, number 1 motivator song for me is Metallica's For Whom the Bell Tolls.

    Methinks this thread might inspire me to go make a couple playlists to run to. Usually I just shuffle all or run to Podrunner's pod cast (tonite was an hour of 160 BPM techno trance music. Good stuff!).

    When I Come Around - Green Day
    Born To Run - Bruce Springstee
    Rolling In The Deep - Adele

    Almost anything by A7X makes me push a million times harder, especially Afterlife and Unholy Confessions.

    I'm not sure how they work for running, since I'm just starting C25K, but these songs give me lots of extra energy for my other workouts:

    Cee Lo Green- Forget You (the non-radio-appropriate version is even better for getting me fired up)
    Ricky Martin- La Vida Loca (please don't judge)
    Arethra Franklin- Respect (a classic!)

    Thank you so much whoever suggested Evening Wear by Mindless Self Indulgence. I'm finding a few of their songs to be good for running!
