Running songs

[Kaydogsdinner]

I've recently started jogging, I'm going every day. Only managing about 3k but I'm comfortable with that and will look to increase that soon. Can I ask you for any songs that really spur you on! I have Spotify and I've looked at running albums but I haven't found that much I like! I have a good few songs but I'd love to get some more on there so hit me!

Some of my running tunes are below( now its quite a random playlist but most of the songs have either a good beat to get me going or the lyrics get me all psyched up

This is me- Kealla settle
Fight Song- rachel platten
You're a superstar- Love inc
Chelsea Dagger ) the Fratellis

90s clubland classics is a great playlist if you find it on spotify too

Ooh good stuff, thank you!

Eye of the Tiger - Survivor
Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
Don't Stop Me Now - Queen

My tip is to find the BMP that you run at (probably one of the songs you already enjoy running to is this speed), then find a playlist full of songs at that bmp.

On Spotify I like Indie Run and Indie Party playlists. The ones on there that really get me going:

Sex on Fire - kings of leon
Don’t Look Back Into the Sun - the Libertines
Dog Days are Over - Florence & the machine

I’ll also nominate Hey Ya - Outkast as I reckon that’d be an amazing running song

I’ve just checked my running playlist. These are my favourites:

Florence and the Machine - Dog Days are Over
Train - Hey Soul Sister
Rusted Root - Send me on my way
Vance Joy - riptide

Find a song that matches your running speed, then go to website jog.fm and type this song there to find its bmp. You can then look for other songs with similar bmp.

I love "yellow lines" by Brendan James

There's a Spotify playlist called 'the Britpack urban graduates' which is spot on for me (33F). The dance based running tracks were all too generic for me and I got annoyed with them but there's some bangers on that.

Anything by Foo Fighters and Green Day hits the spot for me - fast and exciting, just the right tempo.

Wow had no idea you could match your bmp speed to find songs, that's genius, thank you!

These are all great suggestions. Can't believe I didn't have Eye of the Tiger on there, that's a must!!!

I've got all sorts of bangers on my running playlist. I don't run very often, and actually would now tend to prefer a podcast, but here are some that make me pick up my heels 😀:

Sex on Fire - Kings of Leon
Atomic - Blondie
My Favourite Game - The Cardigans
No One Knows - Queens of the Stone Age
That's Not My Name - The Ting Tings
Hot Right Now - Rita Ora
Never Miss a Beat - Kaiser Chiefs
Song 2 - Blur
Waiting All Night - Rudimental

Oh amazing suggestions EmmaStone! Don’t suppose your playlist is on Spotify somewhere...?

Sandstorm by Darude

Peanut butter jelly -Galantis. Without fail this song gets me out the door every single time!

I like to mix up the bmp too so that one track that's slightly faster than your regular pace gives you a bit of a speedy boost that you maybe wouldn't want to keep up all route - I found SOS by Rihanna and Duality by Slipknot fit the bill nicely 😀

Black eyed peas! Pump it, mamacita, don't think with my heart, let's get it started, I got a feeling

Live and let die guns n roses version
Rocky theme tune great for hills and you can imagine running up those steps!
Also second Sandstorm

Oh and an excellent recent addition, Ca plane pour moi.

I like Spotify's Run 'N' Bass 170-175 BPM. It fits my running nicely and gives me a beat to work against.

Get Lucky by Daft Punk
Rapper’s Delight by The Sugarhill Gang
The Distance by Cake
Heavyweight Champion of the World by Reverend and the Makers
Juice by Lizzo
Milkshake by Kelis
Get Ur Freak On by Missy Elliott
Run The World - Destiny’s Child
Running - Beyoncé
Lose Yourself - Eminem
Blurred Lines - Robin Thicke
Hard Knock Life - Jay Z
Not Giving In - Tom Walker
Galvanize - Chemical Brothers
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger - Daft Punk
Train in Vain - The Clash
Kashmir - Led Zep
Mr Brightside - The Killers
The Boys Are Back In Town - Thin Lizzy
Who Are You? - The Who
Block Rockin’ Beats - The Chemical Brothers
It’s Like That - Run DMC
Express Yourself - NWA
Push It - Salt n Pepa

And loads more. I have a MASSIVE playlist

Cheesy hits Spotify playlist, Taylor swift, take that greatest hits. All about the uptempo cheese!

I'm going to work on my list, little lockdown project!

One suggestion from me! Lady gaga - born this way - always gets me running faster!

Apricots Bicep. Sounds like it would be too slow but it’s great, especially when the suns coming up

Bleeding love , Leona Lewis
Iris, Goo Goo Dolls
