Running a half-marathon on Sunday, and I'm trying to build an optimal music playlist. I know that the awesome people on MFP can help provide me with some suggestions.

Eye of the tiger x2
Chariots of Fire Theme Song x2

    Garth Brooks - Standing outside the Fire, Charlie Daniels - Devil Went down to ga, Iron man is a good one in the middle of the run. Freinds in low places (Garth again is good in the middle as well.),

    For my long runs, and most of my runs in general, I throw up a playlist with all of the girl talk albums and hit shuffle. I have music ADD so the dj mash up style of his keeps my attention and I don't get bored to what I'm listening too.

    Hedley - One Life
    Rihanna - Umbrella (I know, just listen to it though... perfect cadence)

    EDITED TO ADD: Eminem & Rihanna - Love the way you lie... again... cadence.

    i am just learning to run but i am finding that good hip hop really makes me feel strong and like i can do it. i'm just starting to build the right playlist but i'm enjoying

    atmosphere - the keys to life vs. 15 minutes of fame
    azealia banks - 212
    flo rida - good feeling
    dj khaled - we takin over

    i've also got a smattering of jay-z, lmfao, pink and others in there right now.

    ETA - i also found this site today http://jog.fm/workout-playlists/for/running you can search by genre or by bpm or by pace.

    My ultimate running song is Free- Alright Now. It even has some little reminders..."slow..don't go so fast"
    It's a long one too :)

    my running music is house music and that kind of stuff. Swedish house mafia, avicii and the like. My mind works fast, I hear fast music, my body moves fast.. it all works in sync!
