Hey,

So I just ran 4 miles for the first time today. It was a trail run with a lot of hills so I am amazingly proud of myself.

Conversation Switch!

WHEN RUNNING, I listen to my iPod (yes, even in nature), usually to a lot of metal and hardcore and punk and kind of angry music to get me to run a little faster and get out aggression. Sometimes I listen to more calming music when I want to kind of zone out. So my running playlist is an interesting blend indeed.

I was wondering if other runners listen to music while they run? If so do you have a play list? And if so I want you to hit shuffle and list the first song that pops up from your running playlist.

Here is Mine:
Band: GWAR
Song: The Apes of Wrath
Album: Violence Has Arrived

Okay, your turn.

    Ah, great song! I'm going to have to add that to my playlist. Yeah mine is ... interesting ... There's even some random Hawaiian Chanting in there, I'm pretty strange ... to say the least... Thank you for the running pat on the back I love your profile pic about kicking goals in the face!!!!

    I run a 4mi hill trail run (we're twins!) every tues|thur|sat. Just recently, I've taken out my headphones and just listened. To my hard breathing. To my feet hitting the dirt. It's actually quite awesome. I know this sounds so super cheesy - since I usually listen to hardcore or punk too ... just saying to give it a try. It's nice to run in a new spot every now and again.

    first song on my running playlist ...
    Downset - Anger

    My favorite running soundtrack is the soundtrack to the somewhat obscure German movie "Run, Lola, Run!" Fun movie, but the soundtrack was BUILT for running.

    A lot of disturbed, syndrome of the down (see what I did there??) NOFX, dead kennedys, and a three days grace song, "just like you" punk rock girl is the default song that plays over and over in my head. No need to have it on my playlist

    Never even thought to have GWAR imma gonna have to download some. Thanks!

    Awesome song. I used to run without headphones but I found myself quitting a lot sooner. I'll go back to nature one of these days but for now it's the Germs We Must Bleed... ah hahaha

    Nice mix! Mine is probably mostly GWAR and MSI ... and then random bands like Mobile Death Camp.

    P.S.S.S. - I'm starting orientation to be a volunteer firefighter next week my entire family is firefighters ... you rock!

    Motion Trax podcasts. It's all techno, and I didn't even know it until my kids heard it! "Mom, that's techno! You listen to techno when you work out?" I love Motion Trax. Has the beats per minute in the description, so I can decide how fast/slow I want it to be, plus it's free to download.

    Just finished a 4 mile run. Last songs was:

    artist-Kid Rock
    Song-Rollin'
    Albumn-Devil Without a Cause

    It's a scientific fact. Upbeat/angry music leads to faster runs!
