Good running songs

[DisneyParrothead]

What songs do people like to listen to while working out? I'm always looking for new songs to add to my play lists so they don't get stale. I find if I know what songs are coming up I get bored. I want to do my first half at the Princess next year so I can't get bored on longer runs.

John Williams Olympic Fanfare
queen dont stop me now
elo Mr blue sky

Indestructible - Disturbed
American Idiot - Green Day
Audience of One - Rise Against
This Is Radio Clash - The Clash
Hard to See - Five Finger Death Punch
Mary Mac - Carbon Leaf

John, your playlist is almost identical to my DH's and DD's. I'll have to try some Clash--haven't tried them yet.

I have 2-3 playlists depending on the type of run (pace, long, easy, etc). I have some songs that I drop in every few songs that help me pace myself. And I always drop in the Raconteurs "Steady as She Goes" as a reminder to check my posture and breathing every couple of miles.

On my pace playlist I have
Tick Tick Boom--Hives
Get Free--Vines
Ride--Vines
Yeah Yeah Yeah--New Politics
In One Ear--Cage the Elephant
Miss Murder--AFI

On the longer runs I include more pop type
Ulysses, No You Girls, Do you want to--Franz Ferdinand
Cobrastyle--Teddybears
Too Fake--Hockey
Drunk Girls--LCD Soundsystem
Feel Good, Inc--Gorillaz

And my warmup list includes Eminem and "Believe" by Bravery

 

[JimB.]

Pretty much anything by Van Halen, Aerosmith or Queen.

But when I want take it real easy on a run I use the "Easy Listening" channel on Pandora Radio via my iPhone.

[DisneyParrothead]

I'm definitely getting ideas. If I'm on the treadmill, and I'm in front of a TV at the gym that doesn't have Sportscenter, my attention span is about 5 minutes total

They are pretty cool. This is the kids most favorite song to belt out in the car.
