Tell me your top 5 running songs

[Sunshineonsea]

So I've gone and bought all the gear today, but need seem some good songs to run to
I like house and hip hop but will listen to anything really
Inspire me

I like a total mixture, but indie anthems mainly
A minha menina
Blister in the sun
Numb
Tequila
bit of beyonce
Then just put it all on shuffle.

What about something like Pendulum or chase & status. I find the heavier the bear the better for running.
I also listen to a lot of trance gatecrasher/gods kitchen compilations in the gym.

Hey Yah: Outcast
Wake me up before you go-go: Wham. I know it's naff but try it!
The Boys Are Back in Town: Thin Lizzy
$1,000,000: Barenaked ladies
Black and Gold: Sam Sparro

The ting tings first album. Every song bar one (that I skip) has a good beat for running to.

These are great and will be downloaded shortly
Keep the suggestions coming though

oh I have a lot but most are cheesy & embarrassing.

But I love there as they have a good beat!

1 - Mr Brightside - The Killers
2 - Somebody told me - The Killers
3 - Human - The Killers
4 - C'mon C'mon - One Direction
5 - anything by the Phonics

Galvanize by the Chemical Brothers is a good one. I save it for the toughest bit of my run, so I dig deeper.

And Daft Punk - One More Time.

Muse - Knights of Cydonia. Just makes me feel epic and invincible.

The original Keane version of 'Somewhere only we know' has a brilliant beat to get you paced at the start of a run.

I'm a podcast-er.
Something funny usually, then you've done more than you think because you're distracted!

The Killers
The Pixies - esp Bag Boy
Gossip
Ting Tings

I find I always run fast to Beyoncé - Halo and Kylie - Slow for some odd reason, I think I lengthen my stride or something.

Oh yes Human by the Killers is great

Gotta Feeling - Black eyed peas
Fix You = Coldplay

I would never have thought of some of these especially ones like fix you or halo as I would've deemed them to slow but I will give them a go

I like to run to dance. The Running Trax compilations are pretty good.

I find Halo is great for running. I feel strong and my stride increases when it's playing. (might have something to do with it being on the radio when I was pushing out DD2 last summer)

Just got an ipod shuffle for running with so watching this with interest....already some great suggestions.

My running days are long behind me (8 years, in fact); but my all time fave was Grey Cells Green by Neds Atomic Dustbin.

...and Kylie and Beyonce. This used to be on a first generation iPod.

Contemplating running again, so will watch with interest!

American Idiot, the whole album

Mambo no.5

Lee Cabrera 'Shake it.'
Daft Punk 'harder, better, faster, stronger.'
Calvin Harris 'Let's go,'
Avicci 'I could be the one.'
Pretty much anything off the Ministry of Sound Trance anthems.

I Bloody love Dance music.
I just fast walk though, sciatica and asthma. These make me shift though,

Love the idea of running to Coldplay Fix you and Daft Punk.

My 2 faves are Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones & Cowboy Take me Away by Dixie Chicks - first one I'm practically air-guitaring as I run, and second one I'm away in a cowboy fantasy land... nice.

The killers for me too:) and snow patrol. I sing along as well:)

Flor Rida - club can't even handle me for the last 1k

Numb/Encore-Linkin Park & Jay-Z
Paper Planes - M.I.A
Shake it Out-Florence and the Machine
Mr Brightside - The Killers
Set you free - N-trance

Maximo Park (especially Our Velocity & Girls who play guitars) and most of the Foo Fighters back catalogue.
