    Awlrighty then, I have a few different songs that tend to pick me up during a run, one of which is Fall Out Boy's 'This ain't an Arms Race', I tend to go at least a minute faster for the duration of that song!

    Here is the sports imix I posted in the iTunes store for my upcoming 1/2 marathon. It should be about 2:20 in length, I plan to finish at least in 2:10, although if I am feeling perky, breaking 2:00 would be uber cool. I there's a few extra songs in there as insurance. Let me know what you think!

    Don't know why, I'm a little suburban white yoga girl that likes to run, but I love to listen to rap when I'm working out...

    Kanye West - Stronger, Get Em High
    Tribe Called Quest - Find A Way, Electric Relaxation
    Common - Testify, Go
    The Roots - Dont Feel Right
    Missy Elliot - Hot Boys
    Eve - Who's That Girl
    Blackalicious - Give It To You

    U.N.K.L.E. is great electronic stuff to run to...

    Sometimes I throw in a little pop tarty-ness to add a bounce to my step:

    Joss Stone - Put Your Hands on Me
    Estelle - American Boy
    Mark Ronson - Versions
    White Stripes - Icky Thump
    Lilly Allen - LDN

    And if I'm really training and trying to focus, anything by Radiohead (Thom Yorke) or Muse.

    Tadaaa... sorry that was way more than five... as you can see I take my workout music very seriously.

    Awesome that you shared this! "The Distance" by Cake is SUCH a great song - it was on our cross-country cd probably every year. Black Eyed Peas is awesome for pump up music.. I have to confess, the Madonna seems a little random, but whatever helps you run faster :)! I didn't know you could make an imix - I might have to look into this! Very cool!!

    Thanks everyone for the great suggestions! I've just spent about an hour marinating in my own post-run sweat (eeeeewwww!) listening to samples on iTunes, and based on what I've heard and Joe's awesome idea, I posted my SF Half mix to iTunes as well. I'll put the link on my profile once it's up on the iTunes site.

    Actually, my lovely wife made this mix for me, so some of the songs are certainly random. You'll have to post your iMix to the discussion once you get it published. (Easy way to do that is to highlight the playlist in iTunes, then goto File-> create iMix. You'll then be prompted to login etc, but that's about the extent of it.) Keep in mind that if you have custom songs that iTunes can't identify, those songs won't make it into the final iMix.

    Now off to download some of the songs here that everyone posted..... :)

    My "power song" is Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance- awesome motivating song to pick up the pace. This sounds really weird- but Irish folk/dance music really gets me going, too! Like, Michael Flatly Irish dance music. Don't knock it till you try it!

    Crystal, Regret, Ceremony, Run Wild, etc... -- New Order

    Take the Power Back -- Rage Against the Machine
    I Kissed a Girl -- Katy Perry (OK so I'm a man)
    Power to Move Ya -- Ziggy Marley & Melody Makers

    Looks like Chemical Brothers need another look based on the lists people are submitting...

    I used to never run without my iPod...I pretty much treated it like my shoes or shorts; I wouldn't run without either of those, and I wouldn't run without my iPod either. Ever since I started training with a group, I never listen to music when I run anymore, even when I run by myself. However...I do find myself singing in my head at the ends of races and tempo runs. It's always The Who - We're Not Gonna Take It/See Me, Feel Me/Listening to You (Tommy) or Eminem - Lose Yourself. Lately Viva La Vida by Coldplay has been popping in too (oh wait, this isn't the Guilty Pleasure Songs thread!)

    If you dig the Aesop Rock mix you should check out "45:33" by LCD Soundsystem. Nothing beats 45 continuous minutes of James Murphy!

    There are lots of instrumental versions of tracks off of Sound of Silver. I personally find "someone great is gone" to be a little depressing to run to but the tune is awesome. Great stuff to get you moving.

    Too many to list, but here is an anecdote.
    My Zune has about 2000 songs or so. Shuffle will usually do for me, but one particular 6-mile run's songs were just one inappropriate, unmotivating song after another. (Monk? Next! Portishead? Next!) Suddenly, at mile five, an authoritative, mule-kick rhythm of a cowbell (!) reported into my ears. It was in absolutely precise sync with my cadence. Then THAT GUITAR LICK. Three drumbeats later, Mountain's "Mississippi Queen" pumped me up so much that I swear I could have broken through the Steel Curtain and make first down. For the next few minutes, I owned the world. Shuffle--sometimes--completely rules.

    Those magical running moments are priceless! It's 10:35 at night and cold and raining, and yet reading your description of the run and the song had me considering downloading the song and just going out for a quick mile. :)

    I am a indie/post-punk girl at heart. Many of my songs are a mix of electronic, indie. I try to start off a slower tempo for warm-up and build up towards the middle and end with slower songs for cool-down. Enjoy!

    This happens to me all the time! I don't have Signed, Sealed, Delivered on my mix (maybe I should get it), but whenever I'm out doing errands and here a song from my list I feel like taking off on the run!

    My friends make fun of me for it all the time...

    Finally someone a little closer to my kind of Music... (wow that makes 3 people I know who like Sigur Ros.)

    Personally though, Nothing can keep you (well me anyway) moving like:
    1: Soilbleed - Grendle
    2: Veil - Cydonia
    3: Horrible Dream (XPQ-21 mix) - Ayria
    4: Ice Queen - Within Temptation. (great for those winter runs)
    5: After the Flesh - My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult

    Just a sample, I have about 200 songs along the same lines set to random.
    I have NEVER walked during a workout.

    And nothing is better at the peak of a rough workout then Grendle's version of Zombienation.

    I have this and like it a lot - big fan of LCD Soundsystem, cool that they could pull this off. Although I've downloaded 3 Nike+ mixes now (this one, Aesop Rock/All Day, and the Crystal Method one) I've only used them for running one time each. Since I teach exercise classes to a continuous mix format I have a hard time running to a continuous mix (feel like I have to keep my movement in time with the tempo and that I should be shouting instructions or something, not just running ;) Variety is lord and master on longer runs - these have helped me on the eliptical, tho'.

    2. Extreme Ways -- Moby
    3. Sabotage -- Beastie Boys
    4. The Distance -- Cake
    5. Head Like a Hole -or- The Hand That Feeds -- Nine Inch Nails

    These are the songs that rocked my half (I listened to more, but these are the ones that really mattered):

    Nah Keseyi (Annuals) - an excellent start
    Dirtywhirl (TV on the Radio) - winding up...
    Mercy Beat (Holler, Wild Rose!) - powerful, ascending
    Lightsonic (Groove Armada) - focused, driving beat
    Confessor (Annuals) - got me up that first incline like nothing else!
    Road to Recovery (Midnight Juggernauts) - techno move-ya!
    Northwestern Girls (Say Hi) - a little variety in tempo, big finish
    Children of December (The Slip) - great guitar and rhythm
    Being Bad Feels Pretty Good (Does It Offend You, Yeah?) - tempo...just what the 80s geek in me needs in the middle of a long run
    You Get What You Give (New Radicals) - most fave one-hit-wonder-workout-song (the whole chorus is "don't give up! / don't let go!")...chimed in at about mile 12.5 and carried me home

    Lot's of great songs I'm going to add to my iPod to run too. Thanks for the ideas. One story. I ran the One America Mini marathon (Half-marathon) in Indianapolis last May. They started the race with "Thunder" by AC/DC. It was wild hearing 30,000+ runners Screaming "Thunder" I thought I was at a rock concert. Fired me up but there were so many people it to me 11 minutes to get to the starting line and I was in section M. Poor people in section Z. :-)

    I listen to music while running to set my pace. So i keep alternating between slow ones and heavy ones. But the beats should match my running cadence(steps/min). So what works for me this way, need not work for someone with a different cadence.

    The fast ones that help me pick up pace:
    - Rammstein stuff
    - Linkin Park Stuff
    - Asatoma sadgamaya of Matrix Revolutions OST
    - Metallica stuff (particularly Loverman)

    Songs to maintain steady pace:
    - Most songs from Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
    - Coldplay stuff
    - some Irish folk songs
    - Blackmore's night
    - Mogwai fear Satan by Mogwai (this nice long 18 min track is perfect for a steady pace)
    - Muse stuff

    Don't have specific songs I listen to, just a playlist on random. Top bands include U2, Rage Against the Machine, Smashing Pumpkins, Nine inch Nails, Street Sweeper Social Club, Shiny Toy Guns, Arkells, Radiohead and Gaslight Anthem at the moment. There are lots of others but I love the more intense songs especially when trying to push myself longer or faster.

    I'm glad to see this thread because I was going to post one to ask what songs people like to run to. (Over winter I need new running songs on my ipod to maintain my sanity on the treadmill.)

    Anyway, here are songs I either run to or tend to have in my head when I'm swimming

    As I mentioned below, Cake's The Distance was my official half marathon training song. I was running a 10k race last weekend, and they were playing it around mile 4. I immediately perked up and passed a few people.

    Oops, thought this would end up elsewhere.

    Mine's a little random, but here goes:

    1. Pharcyde - Passing Me By
    2. Rise Against - Savior
    3. Outkast - Roses

    #2 is new for me, but #1 &3 are staples. They always do the trick.

    If I'm not running while listening to music, I'm listening to or going to see live music, so choosing just 5 running jams is about the toughest thing you could ask me to do. That said, a few that always get me going:

    1. Outkast - B.O.B. (or any remix thereof. I'm convinced this song can make you fly)
    2. Green Day - Nice Guys Finish Last (so many of their songs are awesome for running, but this one always got me fired up before my races in high school so it gets the nod)
    3. Muse - Newborn (Knights of Cydonia and Starlight are great, too, but Newborn has been my recent go-to)
    4. The Rolling Stones - You Can't Always Get What You Want (...but if you try sometimes, you get what you need. A better runner's credo I cannot imagine. Slow-building and triumphant for those long runs)
    5. Bruce Springsteen - Rosalita (My favorite Boss tune, and maybe my favorite song in general, if you forced me to choose. Find yourself a live version, circa '78 if possible, and watch yourself go. Born To Run is a fine choice as well, if not a little obvious)

    I try to post running tunes as much as possible over at the blog (and at the very least I am always up for music chatter), so check it out!

    I can't number these, that would be like telling my children that one of them is my favorite. Here they are in random order:

    Almost anything by Dropkick Murphys
    Whiskey in the Jar, Enter Sandman, and Cyanide- Metallica
    I'm gonna DJ, Living Will is the Best Revenge, and Stand- R.E.M.
    Badlands, Born to Run, and Rosalita- Bruce Springsteen
    The Iron Wheel- Tom Morello as The Nightwatchman
    Elevation, Vertigo, and Beautiful Day- U2
    Blitzkreig Bop- The Ramones
    Dog Days are Over- Florence and the Machine
    The Edge of Glory- Lady GaGa
    Dirty Second Hands- Switchfoot
    I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)- The Proclaimers

    I have so many great songs on my running playlist but these are my favorite. I will smile a little bigger and run a little faster when one of them comes on. Since I always keep my playlist on shuffle it feels like a surprise to hear one of them.
