Running with music

kjt

Hey I was just wondering what songs people think are good to run with/ help you run longer and get you pumped about it?

I think the new gorillaz song Feel good inc is great and the new Greenday song Holiday.

I can run a fair bit but noticed I get tired easily when I'm thinking about running if you get me. If I have something to listen to I can run for double/tripple my usualy lenght.

Plenty of rock and metal... something with a good beat. No soft acoustic music or ballads

voxpop

Queens of the stone age, jean michel jarre, libertines,led zeppelin,ac/dc,bowie

JoeKelly

Yea i agree if you listen to something like rock or metal really gets you goin!

If your going to do anything remotly energetic then Let the Bodies Hit the Floor by Drowning Pool will get you pumped up.

rasherboy

the music from rocky! eye of the tiger!! that always works!!

OfflerCrocGod

Anything with a good bass and beat to it

rainbow kirby

Stuff like Sonata Arctica, Foo Fighters, Green Day...

po0k

Pantera, early metallica, Therapy?, chemical brothers, faithless, as rainbow kirby said - anything with a good regular beat to it, preferably nice and loud and pumping.

cormie

Bit of dance/techno etc will get the blood going no problem!

GreeBo

Ace of Spades & The Game.
Just make sure you dont beat the crap outta of anyone you meet along the way...

And of course Rocky 4 - Hearts on Fire and Karate Kid - Youre The Best Around
Try not running when you hear them!

i bought a small mp3 player for the gym and i think the play list is something like:

muse- our time is running out, muscle museum
metallica - fuel, memory remains, dont tread on me, ronnie, sad but true
motorhead - killed by death
evenscence - whatever that song was with the bloke in it
disturbed - shout 2000 (brilliant version of the tears for fears song)
offspring - kids are not alright, come out swinging, meaning of life
suicidal tendencies - lost again
megadeth - lucrecia
faith no more - land of sunshine, epic, small victory, as the world turns.


i know there are more, but i cant bloody think of them.

anyway, most of them are good strong beats, some slower than others, but thats good for the cross trainer when it gets harder. i can happily admit that killed by death has been the only reason i have managed to finish my sessioin on the cross trainer sometimes

Rage Against The Machine.

Doves - "Pounding" is a great gym track, "Dark & Long" by Underworld is also a pretty good gym track, but it really depends on what type of music you're into.

good idea for a post

I'm always chopping and changing, in my mp3 at moment:

Linkin Park - Papercut
Marlyn Manson - Rock is dead
Fat Boy Slim - Right here right now
Prodigy - Firestater
Nine Inch Nails - The hand that feeds
Some Chemical Brothers etc.....

nothing like a bit of bouncy hard house or filthy hard nrg to get you going.
i'd say the last time i ran was about 2 months ago when i was running late for work
i'll be joining the gym in a couple of weeks though

I got the new Kaiser Chiefs album last night and listened to it when I got to the gym. Fcuking deadly!

That's what I use at the moment.

Fantastique for running to.

I have to concur with RATM and Linkin Park.

Also Cafe Del Mar and Paul Oakenfold.

I keep meaning to creat a special gym folder on my MP3 player, as slow ones from Bjork and Blur and ruin the buzz.

I used to do ;oads of long distance running and I went through a phase of listening to Wyclef Jean's album The Carnival. I wasnt into that kind of hip hop but its a great running album!

I like listening to The Killers and Greenday while jogging - but it changes from week to week - Rock is always good!

Just be careful not to start singing along and mess up your breathing!
