Hello MFP friends!

I am starting the C25K program tomorrow. (Go Val!) So I need to load some running music tonight.

Please, please, please give me the artist and title!

You don't need to post a list just one or two of your favs please!

Thanks!!

Val

    There is a podcast set up for C25K. It includes different music each week AND tells you when to walk or run.

    They are really helpful.

    I run to talk radio, mostly because I tend to match my footsteps to the music and I can't get a consistent rhythm going by listening to music. It engages my mind so I don't think about how long I've been there. =P

    You and I share the same problem. i have to find music that matches my cadence or I just run with no music.

    anything with fast rhythm! especially when I'm PO.

    Matisyahu -rapid reggae on most of his hits
    can't think of any others that i have in my PL right now

    Some slower tunes when I am at peace or need to relate....
    Rob Thomas Ever the Same,
    Lady Antebellum Just a kiss
    Mary J. Blige The living Proof
    Usher Moving mountains...yes it's older but I've been trying to move some mountains of my own so it's appropriate.
    Some Jazz.

    I usually have a longer list.
    Thanks to Shazam I can capture the songs that make up my life.

    check out www.jog.fm

    A great website for running playlists- you tell them what genre music you like and how fast you want to run and they give you a playlist of songs at that pace.

    I'm Made of Wax, Larry, What are You Made Of? by A Day to Remember is my favorite song to work out to, and at the beginning of my playlist.

    i also like The Great Escape by We Are Scientists, Tangled Up by New Found Glory, and New Dark Ages by Bad Religion. Someone suggested Silversun Pickups, I love them but have never put them on my gym list. I'm definitely doing that now.
