You know, the one that always makes you pick up your pace, however knackered you are.

I need some new tunes on my running playlist to get my arse motivated in this hideous weather.

CQ I have some odd taste in running musc, perhaps cos I'm pretty slow! I also enjoy Johnny cash for running, nice steady pace! The fratellis are good for upping the pace.

Oh yes to QOTSA! Dodododo Do dododo. I love this to run to. Or rather to use on cross trainer as cant run at the moment.

Strangely, quite a lot of Frank Turner is good to run to. Plain Sailing Weather or Recovery, or for some old stuff, Photosynthesis.

And of course. Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen. Oh yes!

Another vote for Queens of the Stone Age - No one Knows. I need a bit of dirty dirty rock 'n' roll when I'm being good and healthy.

Lady Gaga - Telephone is a close second.

Fire by kasabian

Not giving in by rudimental

Don't Stop Movin' by Livin Joy is THE best running song ever!

Queens of the Stone Age - No-one Knows

Hey ya by Outkast. I always seem to run faster when that comes on.

VivaLeBeaver · 06/01/2014 21:48

Muse, supermassive blackhole.

BikeRunSki · 06/01/2014 21:47

Yy to American Idiot. The album takes me 10k.

Belindaearl2 · 06/01/2014 21:46

Flashlight on the album Halcyon Days by Ellie Goulding - it's all good.

Anyone else? I need about 2 hours worth of music on shuffle so I get a different combination every time.

Will be looking up Greenday and AC/DC - already have Run to the Hills (Iron Maiden) on the list - that really kicks it up a gear.

I love Stereophonics but never thought of it as running music - will have to have another listen.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far, much appreciated.

No excuses necessary peeved - doesn't matter if it's embarrassing, as long as it hits the right buttons Smile I have done La Gaga's Just Dance to death, but you're right, Bad Romance is a good boost.

One of my best motivating tracks at the moment is Rebel Yell by Billy Idol. Now you see why I need some new ideas Blush

Stereophonics Bartender and the thief

TheGoodLadyWife · 06/01/2014 18:33

My greenday american idiot album! Boosted me for the last ten years at least!

CMOTDibbler · 06/01/2014 18:32

I like lots of AC/DC - Back in Black always makes me smile while I'm running

peeveddoesntcoverit · 06/01/2014 18:30

Not my usual music at all, but Lady Gaga's Bad Romance always gives me a boost.
