    Deffo agree with these ones, really really really get you going,also,Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins but really what you like yourself

    small tip though

    Try and hold off as long as you can to start listening to your ipod, I found the couple of marathons I did, listening to my ipod was something to look forward to, plus you want to get the buzz from those around you and from the crowd,,

    Enjoy

    LCD Soundsystem did a 45 minute piece of music for Nike specifically for exercising to. It's called 45:33 and it's pretty damn good.

    I heartily recommend it.

    The video is pretty apt.

    It's all in the woo woos.

    Also, anything at all by Creedence Clearwater Revival, such as:

    This has been my running staple for the last few months:


    Might be a bit fast for a marathon though.

    I love this too, great for pacing and a good long track
