I'm big on music while I run...so if anyone has any killer playlists, feel free to private message me. I'm about to put a new one together, but the one I've been rocking out to over the last couple of weeks is:
I tried to front-load it with songs that pumped me up, and then varied a little between fast-paced and mellow. I called it "See Spot Run," but, y'know, whatever works for you.
The playlist runs a 1:20:48.
I've found the only thing I really enjoy running to is trance.
My first choice is almost always A Voyage Into Trance: Vol. 2 by Dave Kendall and if it's a long run, I'll add A Voyage Into Trance by Paul Oakenfold, whom I notice is in your playlist but I'm not familiar with that track. I'll have to check it out :-)
I'm pretty sure both these albums are available on eMusic.
And I love All These Things That I've Done and How to Save a Life, for that matter, I just couldn't imagine running to it.
Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush
Will try to post more later
This is a great idea, tx for the suggestions
also, Miracle Drug U2
Hey zipcat,
Thanks for joining and thanks for the suggestions. I have never heard of "Running Up That Hill." I just looked it up and watched the video (typical 80's and maybe one of the funniest unintentionally-humorous music videos I've ever seen).
I look forward to your future suggestions.
Rosie Gaines - Closer than Close
Hot Chip - Over and Over
Front 242 - Headhunter
Underworld - Born Slippy
Stakker - Humanoid
Ram Jam - Black Betty
My all time favourite to run to is No One Knows by Queens of the Stoneage...try it and you'll see what I mean!
Love looking at all your tracks and I'll definately try some out.
Happy running

I just added a new song to my playlist-- not sure if anyone knows, but Kenny Loggins' son Crosby is a new artist who just came out with an album that has some good songs for running. I particularly like the single "Seriously" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS1Z0_HYr-s) The album, "Time to Move," has a lot of great songs on it. Great new stuff to mix up my playlist!
Everybody should have a look and listen to samples of the music available at www.run2r.com
Specialist running music website with music specially designed for runners to match their paces.

motherrunner28: that's an awesome song! i'll be using that also!
i like to run to instrumental songs.
here are a few
a busy raga called 'Raga rageshri - drut gat: tintal' by a shivu taralagatti ???
"Raga Basant Mukhari - Gat in Drut Teental" by a budhaditya mukherjee
indian folk song called 'Kedar - Drut Teental (Fast 16 Beats)' by a paul livingstone janes addiction 'up the beach' is a good start song
the 3:30 mark of black flag - process of weeding out
a primus song called 'hamburger train'
an instrumental song called 'incubation' by joy division
'woodpecker from mars' by faith no more and
an older but interesting techno song called 'schleiffer' by planet b.e.n.
these songs seem to have a lot going on in them but arent real fast
additionally...i have done a few runs using beatless ambient music by steve roach.
magnificent void and atmospheric conditions come to mind.
its just a bunch of shifting swishes and throbs with no distinct or constant tempo.
i usually ran in an isloted street at night- the music was pleasant for night running.
and helpful for forgetting about running while running.
