What are your favourite songs to listen to to pep you up for running?

The only one I can think of is 'Eye of the Tiger'.

I am about to do an ipod overhaul and need some inspiration!

PS - I do have more refined tastes in music when I am not wanting to be revved up for exercise - honest!

THE BEST..... FOR STARTING OUT ON A RUN is... The Scissor Sisters-' Laura';
It is soo good and gets me into a rythmn straight away. Actually i have just put it on now and its fab. the rest of the album is good too.... Thats if you like the scissor Sisters that is!!!

Time for me to go old school!!

I prefer to run without music, but I have the benefit of the Prairie Path to run on. Our area took hundreds of miles of old train tracks and converted them into limestone running/biking trails. Surrounded by nature playing its own music!!

LOL - I must be old school too - I have to admit that I usually only listen to musin in the Gym and occasionally when skiing - I am like you - I prefer to run (my preferred sport) in silence.

Doodoo, Weird Al did a version of that song called "Rye or the Kaiser" and it was so funny...thanks for reminding me to download it. I like European Techno-pop but find I don't like to exercise to any music at all for the most part. At my martial arts classes the instructor puts on heavy metal and thrash music which I just can't stand....guess I'm more square than I thought. Or just getting old. d-oh!

Thanks Max,

There are a couple there I've not got - I will check them out!

Weird thing about my music collection is that my 15 year old son, who is into playing guitar now too likes all the "old" classic stuff I listen to and (mostly TRY to) play on guitar more than the stuff his mates are listening to!

I keep hearing Led Zep or Metallica riffs coming out of the music room only to realise it is my son rather than a CD!
Oh dear - I've probably scarred him for life!

Take care

Hmm - From that last post - you would think I was some ageing hippy stuck in some time warp!

Just for the record - I am also into stuff from THIS millenium.
But it is still "usually" (but not always) at the rockier / heavier end of the scale - Wolfmother, Muse, Kasabian, Chillis and so on.

No teap - you are obviously from teucter land where radio two is considered a bit racy and too modern.

I was brought up on the Black Isle - so I am not "takeen the piss!" I lived it!
