Here is a list of 10 great running tracks. I have been a good girl (kind of) and have been running a little more. I am currently doing 10km 3 or 4 times a week. I'll up the distance and regularity again soon.
My running playlist for my run today is:
1. Whistle - Flo Rider (a nice happy warm up track - I am sure it's really only about whistling too)
2. Payphone - Maroon 5 (I know he seems like a creep but I still think he is hot)
3. Here I come by Fergie (It's hard not to do a dance/run for this)
4. Some Nights by Fun (seriously awesome beat)
5. Sk8terboi - Avil Lavigne (I have no idea why I love this song so much. I must secretly be an angry teenage girl)
6. Blow me (one last kiss) - Pink (any P!nk song is awesome to run to)
7. I never liked you anyway - Rogue Traders (angry girl power songs make me run faster but with an angry face)
8. Jungle Drum - Emiliana Torrini (time to pick up the pace)
9. Feel the Love - Rudimental (finishing it off with some feel good songs)
10. This is love - Will-i-am (because he is the king of cool and some of it might rub off onto me - Hell Yeah!!!)
Please add your favourite workout tracks below. I am always looking for more tracks to add to my playlists.
The whole Mumford and Sons albums - awesome to run to and also there's heaps of great Ministry of Sound Running tracks if you search iTunes that get you going!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check them out. I don't have either of them. Thanks x

DeleteQueen is awesome to run too. I had completely forgotten about them. Will check out the others too. Thanks, Rx
DeleteYesterday I brought the new Fun, 360, Nickleback & The Black Keys albums. Love them all cause they make me want to do the housework just so I can shake my booty to the music! Is that too much info?
ReplyDelete{sorry, that last comment somehow went into the previous comments reply. Oh blogger!}
My running tracks double as housecleaning tracks too. :) Rx
DeleteI agree with you, any Pink song. Also, Lady Gaga or Simple Plan songs
ReplyDeleteLady Gaga has some excellent ones. Rx
DeleteATM the first Franz Ferdinand album is fab to run to - starts off quiet and smooth and then gets faster and louder. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBwIb26Y_40
ReplyDeleteThat sounds fantastic, I'll definitely check it out. Rx
DeleteWow, 10k's 3/4 times a week is huge! Good on you! You're making me feel like a couch potato!
ReplyDeleteI agree, anything Pink, Lady Gaga or anything dancy! :)
I think I am inspired by P!nk's body as well as her music. She looks like she could run through a tornado :)
DeleteI have a playlist on my iPhone called 'Exercise music' which I have to change every so often. It's a short list because I like to keep it current.
ReplyDeleteSadly I'm not a runner, so envy you that - though cos I can't 'gym' this week (stitches in my back) I went for a walk at some ungodly hour. I had lots of Nicki Minaj to motivate me!!!

Nicki Minaj - I hadn't thought of her. She would be good. Off to have a play in iTunes now :) Rx
DeleteExerciser is my fave workout song. Too obvious? Sure. x
ReplyDeleteLOL, nothing wrong with obvious Rx
DeleteWow you go girl, I am into my top 40 stuff for running....upbeat and young...just how I like to feel when I am running.xx
ReplyDeleteI am the same. I do feel young when I run too Rx
DeleteI am so old, I don't even know half of those songs. I'm an old skool punk garage rock grunge kinda girl. And I detest running.
ReplyDeleteBut I do love Skaterboi! I gold star this song every time on Drum Hero on the DS!
I could imagine you rocking it out on Drum hero :)
DeleteThanks, I'm stoked that you assume I run! Now how do I get others to assume I run?
ReplyDeleteHaha. Rx
DeleteI always love inspiration for my running playlist! My favourites are Lose Yourself by Eminem and CandyMan by Christina Agueleria - wierd contrast I know, but they both have the perfect run to! I also love the Presets.
ReplyDeleteThey would both be great. I am going to have a listen and give them a go. Thanks for reading and commenting. Rx
