We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.
Not dead. Yet.
Check out the self-titled "Dirty Vegas" album.

I'm sure you know, he's not talking about about "more and more" of a good thing like running, right? But yeah, great song.
The quintessential running song for me is "The Distance" by Cake. Runner-up is that song by Rage Against The Machine. And the song from that genre I refer to as "pop-punk" (Paramore, Blink 182, etc.).
Hey, anyone ever listened to Marine Corps marching cadences while running? I got the idea as I was watching Full Metal Jacket on the treadmill (which is interesting in itself). It's great, especially if you're in a secluded area where you can chant along without people looking at you funny!
