Saturday night cahllenge - Music to run to.. I'm revamping my iPod

[MascaraOHara]

So it's a lonely Saturday night and later this evening I plan to give my iPod a good shake up, get rid of some dead wood, load up some new tracks and create some new play lists...

I want to add a playlist for the gym & running... need suggestions as to what tunes should on my new 'running' playlist...

thought it might be fun to start a thread as well as hoping to get some tunes I've not heard of or thought about adding...

HELP, I need inspiration

lol, that went down like a horseshit sandwich! off to put dd to bed and then search iTunes. ;)

no don't go, I have lots of idea but can never remember names. Will check ipod and post later (not that I run, only fast walking but I like quite pacey stuff to keep the tempo up...)

Mascara, watching this with interest as I took delivery of my new iPod Touch today am well excited!

do you have to pay for iTunes? yes, am totally ignorant of it all!

Kanye West is greta to run to

Some of my fave running songs:

Gotta get thru this - Daniel Beddingfield (I know, I know, but it's a good running song!)
Baby Got Back - Sir Mixalot (cheering)
Don't Stop me Now - Queen

My current favourites are Buzzcocks(ever fallen in love), Jimmy Sommerville(Dont leave me this way), Sophie Ellis Bextor(murder on dance floor), Skids (Down in the valley), Sweet (Wig Wam Bam) Jam (Beat Surrender), Mud (Tiger Feet), Scouting for Girls (Shes so lovely) - 28 minutes running in total

Bit of a cliche but anything by Queen gets me stepping out.

Especially the bicycle song. Though I sppose strictly that should be for cycling.

you can download nike plus from itunes which have songs already for running.
theres also a programme you can download that works out the "beats per minute of songs so you can put on ones that would be at the right sort of pace www.mixmeister.com.

I always run to The Clash, The Killers and other punky type stuff - it enthuses me!

Linkin Park Hybrid Theory is all you need

LCD Soundystem 45:13

Gotta be the Rocky theme song, Eye of the Tiger...

oo some good ones there!

normally end up with killers etc, aLSO find that arctics have a good running beat..

gonna plug ipod in now..

MGMT is good stuff to run to I've just discovered!

kids is a particularly good tune of theirs.

Ambi I was just about t add that one!!

kylie / love at first sight
michael gray / the weekend

here's my complete running/walking playlist. obv not all at once (would be VERY fit) but IMHO there is not a duff track on here so you can pick and mix... some a bit more full pelt, some a bit more cooldown...

I thank you.

have you disappeared for a run mascaraohara?

OooooH....

There's some good ideas there, I have some of the same tracks too but there are a few I might go and upload later.

I now have a running playlist of 136 tracks and a cooldown playlist of 62.. very good! Thank you..

oh and anymore ideas would be fab

thanks guys

so MO'H, I think you should return the favour and post some of yours for me (thinks: hm, must get out power walking again...)

I love running to Guns'n Roses

I'll posts some of mine this evening.

ooh guns & roses that's a good call.

I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor - Artcic Monkeys
You and Me Song - The wannadies
Maneater - Nelly Furtado (a bit of a slow beat but an angry song so you can use that aspect of it to keep going)
Comfortably Numb - Scissor Sisters
Monster - The Automatic
Worried About Ray - The Hoosiers
Bat Out Of Hell - Meatloaf

Might be sad but I love running to Bryan Adams "I'm going to run to you"

Right I haven't forgotten about this thread but I've only just finished work for the day..

tomorrow I will finish at a more sensible time and list the first 50 as they come up on my listing..
