Ultimate Playlist:

Post by DalBoy »

As I was running the other night I got to thinking about how I run better to certain songs...

So, lets make a list of the Ultimate Running Songs that keep us going when we are about to give in...

I'll start it off -

Danger Zone (From TopGun) - Kenny Logins - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siwpn14IE7E

Please feel free to continue the list...

My favourite just now is:

Tina Turner - Nutbush

But other regulars at the mo are:

AC/DC - Thunderstruck, Highway to Hell
Lady Gaga - Edge of Glory
Flo Rida/Etta James - Good Feeling
Calvin Harris - a big selection of his stuff!
Dolly Parton - Baby I'm Burning
Bothy Band - Kesh Jig

In fact, if you're Scottish (like me) or Irish, you might find a good jig or reel will get you going!!

The one that always gets me going is:

Stronger, by Mandisa

It's amazing!

For me, I have four songs that get me running again! I wouldn't call them inspirational or motivating, but I always run better to the sound of them.

1) G.F.A by Blood on the Dance Floor
2) IDGAF, also by Blood on the Dance Floor
3) Have You Ever Danced? by Breathe Carolina
4) Prom Night by Jeffree Star

These are pretty upbeat, bubblegum pop (for the most part) like, but the beat keeps me going strong!

If you use Spotify (which is currently free for 6 months for Virgin Media XL customers) I have put together a running playlist and just hit shuffle for each run. http://sharemyplaylists.com/keeps-you-r ... -more-song

Great thread, I will be cherry picking some of these ;)

Highlights of my runs last week were Everlong by Foo Fighters and when Claire said "Start Running in 10 seconds" during the intro of Bitter Sweet Symphony by the Verve.
