What music gets your toes tapping??
I've got my playlist for when I'm running, but have had the same songs for a while now so thinking of getting a few more to keep my mind entertained whilst I'm pounding the pavement.
So, thoughts on some good songs??
Here's a sample of what I have at the moment:
* Rocky soundtrack (nothing better!)
* Guns n Roses (suprisingly great to run to)
* Bruce Springsteen
* Michael Jackson
* John Denver - Thank God I'm a Country Boy
* Smashmouth
* Good Morning Vietnam soundtrack
* Um, there's more but can't think of them right now...
Any suggestions gladly welcomed! The key to a good running song is a good beat (reasonably fast) and upbeat lyrics - so no love songs and no songs that just groan on and on and on and on...
So suggest away please! :o)

Jo says work out your pace in footfalls per minute and then go to www.clickmix.com. You can choose your tunes (and even the bpm to play them at!)
ReplyDeleteI know that's not a suggestion of tunes, but that was Jo's answer, and she's the runner in our household. I can't run unless I have a ball at my feet.
MXPX
ReplyDeleteOr any other punk-rock =)
The only problem I have when I go running with those guys is that I end up going out too fast then dying 3/4 of the way round...
Foo fighters are also good!
G'day from Berlin,
ReplyDeleteClayts.....what about the Chariots of Fire soundtrack!? Best of luck with the marathon!
Chris
Simply the Best - Tina Turner
ReplyDeleteGet Me Outta Here & Take It Or Leave It - Jet
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - U2
Where the Streets Have No Name - U2
Gimme Some Lovin' - The Spencer Davis Group
I'm Feeling Good - Michael Buble (it's a slow song..but it works)
Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison
One Step Ahead - Crowded House
Try Sweet Home Alabama - and if you can get the live version, it is 8 minutes long or something. A great track to run to if you have an empty path or field!!
