I was wondering what are some good songs to run to. I also got an Ipod Nano for Christmas. I know I have to listen to music in order to run. I just was wondering what are everyone's favorite songs to run to. I know it is a personal preference but I am sure some songs inspire people. Let me know.

I realize that I am a total dork :eek: , but I run to Swing music, like Brian Setzer's Orchestra and Big Bad VooDoo Daddy. But then I love to swing dance, too.:D
 
I _heart_ my nano! If I'm on the treadmill I like music that I would otherwise sing along to, because it distracts me from the monotony. Catchy top 40 pop or cheesy 80s. :) Some recent hits I just added to my mix with a good workout beat are Nelly Furtado, "Maneater" and Play N Skillz "Get Freaky". And if you are a South Park fan, I recommend Eric Cartman singing "Come Sail Away" or "In the Ghetto" - they are not fast paced, but everytime they pop up on my playlist I hear something new that makes me chuckle. (I think I may be a bigger dork than RedT...)

lol those are great...bak in the 80s there was a chick named josie cotton and she sang some great cheesy 80s songs that i just dig while im running..."you could be the one" and "johnny are you queer" are classic. Also lately i dig Anthem by superchick (the best of the list), pure, one girl revolution, stand in teh rain and we live.

go to shapemagazine.com also they have playlists they reccomend everymonththat spice things up.
 
Sure there are some songs just about everyone can workout to, but in general, everyone adheres to what they like!! I personally would go nuts trying to run to metal, and even most rock, whereas the last poster prolly kicks ass with it...

With that said, I like REAL hip-hop, not radio BS, and some other randomness.
 
pump up rap? theres lots of stuff... lets see...

Ludacris - Money Maker
Fergie - Fergalicious
Black Eyed Peas - Pump it
Nas - Hip Hop is Dead
Fat Joe feat. Lil Jon - I Make it Rain
Young Jeezy - I Love It
TI - What You Know
Young Jock - Shoulder Lean

cant think of anything other rap/hip hop... as for other artists i like...

metallica
pink floyd
WOLFMOTHER
hendrix
avenged sevenfold
dream theater
nirvana
led zeppelin
Fall Out Boy
ACDC
DragonForce

The sports background I have gave me an affinity towards jock jams and such. I have a specific jock jams that pretty much is the exclusive "running" CD for me, if you hear it I'm running go away. Also venture into techno depending on the time of day when I run(Towards evening tends to be more techno oriented.) and otherwise its emotion based for me. I'm having trouble NOT buying an Ipod since the current facility I am at is public and has no music access like my boss's office. So it really depends.
