PLEASE! : Post Your Top 10 Songs On Your Running Playlist! All Genres Welcome! (Read 3145 times)

Dont know if I can pull out a top 10 but here's a few

Raise your glass - Pink

We Can't Back Down - Demi Lovato ( Camp Rock 2 Soundtrack )

If I had you - Adam Lambert

Break my stride - Matthew Wilder

The Liberty Bell March.

Because when I hear it, it makes me want to ride on balloons and step on things with my big feet.

(explanation: most of you know this as "The Monty Python song")

In This Moment: "Blazin'"  has been excellent for my last two runs (I just bought it on Sunday).

...Hey, you said all genres...(I would call this hard rock).

 

How can we offer better if we don't know what your current list is? What is your goal? What isn't working out?

It is meant to be broad because I am looking for two playlists: one for my "go hard or go home" runs lol.. and one for my relaxed easy runs! So all songs/suggestions are warranted!

I like to make my playlists with calm music at the beginning to keep me from going too fast.  Then the high energy stuff is towards the middle or end to get me to either hang on or finish strong.  This is particularly helpful during races.

• Wagner - "Ride of the Valkyries"
• Grieg - "In the Hall of the Mountain King"
• Led Zeppelin -  "Immigrant Song", "Wearing and Tearing", "Trampled Under Foot"
