I am sure there is a thread out there with this topic but since I haven't seen it, or bothered to search for it I will start this one. I don't know if anyone else thinks running kind of sort of sucks but we do it anyway. Yesterday when I was on the treadmill I was on the verge or hitting the "GET ME OFF THIS DEVIL MACHINE" button but then I heard a song on my iPod that got me going again. I suddenly began running like I was running for my life. That magical song that I kept hitting repeat was by Coheed and Cambria "A Favor House Atlantic."

So what's your go to run song? I'd like some ideas to download for an awesome run as opposed to just mediocre. :glasses:

    I like Indestructible by Disturbed but usually when I run I don't use music. For some reason I have a better run when I do it without headphones.

    Yep, anything from the 80's gets me going. I love it all. Prince and ZZ Top are my favorites to push me further. I usually put in a Jane Austin movie and watch it while I tread mill, or one of my beloved Downton Abby DVD's.

    Oomph! - Augen Auf!

    (Might be a little disturbing to some, so at your own risk. ^^)

    This is my favourite "move" song. The beat and the counting in this song are really motivating for me. Helps a little that the chorus generally (GENERALLY, to avoid semantics ;) ) translates "Look out I'm coming."
    Meatloaf - Bat Out Of Hell

    Yes!

    I also find The Dresden Dolls - Girl Anachronism is great for those last few minutes of cardio that seem so hard.
