    I'll start by saying that I'm of the belief that whatever music gets you moving (no matter how musically "lame" it might be) is great workout music, here are a few of my favorite cardio songs (I don't run, but all of these are on my husband's running playlist):

    Wynona's Big Brown Beaver - Primus
    Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom! (I want you in my room.) - Vengaboys
    Shake That - Eminem

    Vengaboys? Really? Hahaha, I'm judging you right now! :-P


    Try Clawfinger "Biggest and the Best"

    Can never beat Pantera "F**king Hostile"

    American Head Charger "Just so you know" - it's a good 5 minutes and has a slower section in the middle to calm you down a bit, then a final couple of minutes for that last sprint effort.

    Most of these songs also make me want to fight... which I suppose I am doing when I run, just against myself. Which means I always win!

    Dropkick Murphy and Rancid - I can run to anything by them.
    Bodies - Drowning Pool
    Planetary (Go)! - My Chemical Romance
    Cumbersome - Seven Mary Three
    Rebel Yell - Billy Idol

    I could go on forever. I love music. :love:

    I just started using Podrunner website. You can download playlist for whatever beat per minute you run/walk to. They even have some interval stuff if you are doing the c25k. And it is FREE :wink:

    I found that the steady constant bpm keep me at a more constant pace and motivated to keep going.

    Not a huge Matchbox 20 or Rob Thomas fan but "This is how a heart breaks" and "Let's see how far we've come" are both awesome. Also "Pump it" by Black Eyed Peas..."Blackout" by Breathe Carolina....girlfriend by Avril Lavigne....erm Closer to the edge by 20 to Mars I think they are called?

    I am the Doctor - from the Doctor Who Season 5 soundtrack.

    This is such a nerdy answer but it's the truth, haha! No matter how tired I am, how much I ache, or how much I want to quit, when this song comes on I just HAVE to run--and give it my all, too! I use a lot of visualization/imagination exercises when I listen to it, and it always manages to exhilarate, motivate, and excite me. Seriously--when it comes on, I bust out into a huge grin, and I don't stop!

    I usually run at about 7 mph on the treadmill, but I usually end up cranking it to 7.5-7.7 mph with this song just because it makes me WANT to run!

    "I've Been Everywhere" Johnny Cash

    And LMFAO always gets me moving faster. I feel more like I'm dancing than running.

    Moves like Jagger and Pitbull's Boom, Boom and some J-Lo's work well for me too!
