I'm training for the 10k to shift a few lbs for the summer time. I'm finding having a good playlist helps. What songs do you like to exercise to?

Eye of the Tiger
And, strangely, Lost Lyrics by Coldplay. No idea why.

Oh, yes, and The One and Only by Chesney Hawks.
Yes, I am very sad and very old :-)

Pretty much anything by Linkin Park works for me and 'Running down a dream' by Tom Petty always gives me a boost.

I think the secret is to find what bpm you run at and find other songs at the same speed or sightly higher if you want to up your pace. Find a song that seems to match your pace and then google the bmp. There are loads of running sites that list songs by bmp so you can compile playlists.

Ha! I was running to Insomnia by Faithless this morning, and when it got to that dance-floor anthem-y bit I speeded up so much I nearly had a coronory. Grin

A good trick is to do a search on "running" in Spotify or suchlike - someone will have done the hard work and put together a playlist.
