"Hey Ya" by Outkast is a good runner and will give me a good boost. But during long events I will listen to this one like 3-4 times to keep me going

Great song coach. I love threads like these because I download songs I don't have yet.

I'm curious to hear what everybody else's favorite running song is...

Bulls on Parade - Rage against the Machine gets me going...there are lots of others but that one came to mind first

I just bought a 45 minute run from Nike on iTunes that was done by The Crystal Method. It makes for an excellent run, starting slow for about a 5 minute warmup and building steadily until about a 5 minute cool down.

If I am running for time and trying to suffer then, as I've stated before, classical music is best. Beethoven's 4th symphony has served me well. Something about classical allows for longer suffering in my case.

I actually don't like running to music, but when the spin instructor plays the Foo Fighters, it makes me feel like cranking up the tension and picking up the pace.

I didn't think I would of liked it either but it has been great.

My favorites have been Linkin Park, Ozzy, and Puddle of Mud.

do you listen to "don't stop me now" often? if you do, may start joining you boys on your morning runs w/ my digital video camera.

I can't run anymore, but when I ski, I really like Cake, particularly Comfort Eagle & Arco Arena, the cadence is perfect for making turns. Also in my ski list is Van Halen, AC/DC, & zztop. It's all about the cadence.

Man, I haven't heard Cake in a long time. How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle anyway?
