what do you listen to when running?

new to this bit of mn.
Probably all been done here b4 but just interested in what other people listen to on their mp3 when running.

I need to have music as my tinnitus drives me insane otherwise.

I read that listening to music cna increase your performance by up to 20% and listening to the right music can help more. Tracks with a bpm of 120-140 are apparently the best so I listen to trance music as well as a brilliant band called Puressence.

Love to hear what you are into.

Mixture of dance and rock mainly. Prodigy; ACDC; current bug dance tunes with the right sort of base e.g Example Change the Way you Kissed Me. I downloaded all my stuff on to itune many moons ago and have gone through and made a running list from them. Ranges from Cure 'Inbetween days', New Order 'Blue Monday' through to Cream dances mixes.

I read that it depends on whether you associate or disassociate when running. Elites tend to do the former to gauge optimum performance apparently. I tend not to as I like to be aware of my surroundings and focus on what I see and hear.
