AIBU to ask for your favourite running tracks?

[Craftylittlething]

Recently got back into running and I’m a bit bored with my playlist, please tell me your favourite music to run to.

Get Your Freak On - Missy Elliot is a fave of mine!

I’d rather run to a funny podcast than music these days. Then I can just laugh my way around. My dad wrote a porno always makes me laugh.

Defying Gravity from Wicked, This is Me from The Greatest Showman & Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen.

Chandelier by Sia, come alive from the greatest showman, hum hallelujah by fallout boy

I was going to say “Herne Hill”, but I think the answer you really want is “American Idiot” - Green Day

We Didn’t Start The Fire!

I'm hugely indecisive so these are from my playlist;
Kosheen -find you
My chemical romance -helena
The Jam - beat surrender
The pretenders - don't get me wrong
Breakout or monkey wrench - foofighters
The killers -the Man
The ting tings -that's not my name
Fall out boy -thnks fr th mmrs
Imagine dragons - radioactive
Linkin park -anything from meteora
Pat benetar - hit me with your best shot
Kenny loggins - footloose
Survivor - eye of the tiger

It really depends on my mood and the weather!
DH thinks it's too random

Love runs out by one republic
The one from rocky film 😂
Victorious by panic at the disco

Calvin Harris & Ne-Yo - Let's Go 👍

Anything that's got a decent tempo, that I enjoy listening to.
At the moment that's:

Janelle Monae: Archandroid album, specifically: tightrope, come alive, cold war, dance or die, faster
Arcade Fire: Rebellion, Chemistry, sprawl II, city with no children,
And some very cheesy things, like Plastic Bertrand Ca Plan Pour Moi!

Or, if I'm really bored the Black Beauty Music makes the run more interesting.
Have to be careful not to whinny at passers by though, as I'm doing my best to not look mad.

I have loads on Spotify, depending on my mood as to which ones I play or skip. Some current faves are:

Cry for you - September
Heartbreak make me a Dancer - Freemasons
Anthem - N Joi
At Night - Shakedown
Power - Little Mix
Bon Appetit - Katy Perry
Runaway - Galantis
Bounce - Calvin Harris
I Love it - Charlie XCX
In For the Kill - La Roux
Shake it Off - Taylor Swift
Holding out for a Hero - Bonnie Tyler
Instruction - Jax Jones
Worth It - Fifth Harmony
Survivor - Destinys Child
Feel the Love - Rudimental

35 minutes from 10 kph to about 12.5 kph

I hit a sweet spot rhythm-wise when I run to lost frequencies' 'are you with me'.

New Order - most of it works well for me

Billy Ocean: red light spells danger.

Guaranteed PB

At the end of my first (very slow) marathon my iPod got stuck on U2; I did not have the energy to change it. Think 17 miles plus ...

Not obvious running songs but I now have a Pavlovian response to Sunday Bloody Sunday and New Year’s Day. 😱

New born, Hysteria, Thoughts of a dying atheist, Muse.
Alive, Pearl Jam
Sweet Child of mine, Guns and Roses
Free bird
Whisky in the jar
Light my fire
Way I walk and Save it, The Cramps
The day that never comes, Enter the Sandman, master of puppets, Metallica.
In the End, Shadow of the Day, What I've Done, Linkin Park
Walk, Foo Fighters
The Black Parade , My Chemical Romance.

Apologies for random capitals. Following in the hope of new songs. All the running tracks on iTunes are rubbish.

Katy Perry chained to the rhythm
That sia one - running out of breath but I (oh I), I got stamina

Imagine Dragons, Night Visions - hence my username

These are brilliant, thanks very much. I’ve never considered podcasts for running, I like the headspace of getting lost in the music but I may listen to that in the car.

Scooter ... I'm Raving
Usura.. Open Your Mind
Supergroove ... Sitting Inside My Head
Morecambe and Wise... Bring Me Sunshine
Cher... Believe
Cascada.... What do You want from me
Chic... Le Freak
The Real thing... You to me are Everything

I.e. any old shite

I’ve recently started listening to podcasts while I run. Thought I’d miss the tempo of the music helping me along, but actually the podcasts help alleviate the boredom of long runs a lot better than music did. Also enjoy running while listening to audio books - I particularly like listening to autobiographies read by the author, currently on David Mitchell’s one which I’m enjoying a lot.

A podcast I like sometimes is Scott Baptie's Food for Fitness. Quite interesting sports and nutrition interviews. The first 100 or so podcasts are good.. after that he piblished a book and spent too muchtime flogging it for my liking (I'm very impatient though!)

I listen to the long run playlist from Apple Music - it’s a great tempo, and the songs are constantly updated.
