running playlists! share 'em

[sunupoernomo]

okay this is kind of juvenile and some serious technique people might not like how beat interferes with technique and rythym but i unabashedly proclaim my love of running to music. here are my favorite tunes for the long haul, the warmup, the stretch, the whole nine yards:

velvet underground-sunday morning (best thing for a warmup)
the john spencer blues explosion-bellbottoms (it'll fire you up)
the yeah yeah yeahs-man (wish she sang about me)
jackson five-give me one more chance (picked me up at mile 19)
misfits-where eagles dare (get psycho speed)
velvet underground-heroin (soungs like running)
bach-cello suite 1 prelude (great during stretching)
rolling stones-you can't always get what you want (stops pain self pity)

whoa now that i look at it this is not a normal running playlist...
ps can't run to hip hop, the beats are just wrong for me

[mavgrad99]

GNR - Paradise City
AC/DC - Back in Black
Prince - Little Red Corvette
Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA
Tom Petty - American Girl
Metallica - Master of Puppets ( I find the slow guitar solo by this time will give me some cool down time... usually works)
Skid Row - 18 and Life
Bon Jovi - You give Love a Bad Name

For some apparent reason I have been running to 80's rock lately... and it is getting me 2.5 miles more per run... gotta love the 5-8 min songs!

[Goose102]

Metallica- master of puppets
Metallica- frantic
Metallica- invisible kid
Disturbed- stricken
P.O.D- Boom (Probably my favorite! )
Rage against the machine- Guerrilla radio
Soil- halo

I like MavGrad's playlist. I'm old-school like that too. But, I don't listen to music while I run for the simple reason that I'm affraid of getting run over or mugged or eaten by a dog. I can't tell you how many times I've almost hit a runner on the road in my car because either he, or I, was not paying full attention.

Now, on the treadmill I'm a big fan of listening to music. I have an iPod with approx. 100 songs (isn't that sad?)

James Brown
Muddy Waters
Blind Lemon Jefferson
Leadbelly
Credence
Elvis
Led Zeppelin

Rock on!

[apache]

Blowout - The Crystal Method
The Winner - The Crystal Method
Roll It Up- The Crystal Method
Smack My Bitch Up - The Prodigy
Mona Lisa Overdrive - Juno Reactor/Don Davis
Broken Glass - The Crystal Method
Burly Brawl - Juno Reactor/Don Davis

Keeps me pumped throughout the whole run. Makes me feel like im in a chase scene or something. Its really the only way i find running entertaining.

I don't usually listen music when i'm running (but the rest of the day i'm always listening music). I prefer to be concentarted in the race, the lap time, the beats, ..... and if you are running in group you'll talk to other runners.

Furthermore, i like electronic music (techno, trance, house,.....) and it could make me run too fast.
