Favorite Tunes for Running

[ptoner]

Hi all,

I want to put together a tape for running and/or walking fast. I know this is the best place to get suggestions for songs that motivate you or have the right "beat".

I like all kinds of music, and want to put variety into the mix. I think the music will play a big part in how successful my running will be. I'm hoping to fit running in at least 1/wk for now and work towards 3x by summertime.

Thanks in advance for providing your all time favorite tunes to run with.

I have a big collection of music-t0-race-walk-by from Sports Music. I really can't imagine walking without them. Check them out, please. http://www.sportsmusic.com

Thank you so much! There's a wealth of information in this site that I can use. I think I'll be spending the weekend searching for songs to download to my MP3 player. (This is a recent purchase/toy for me to use for running and walking)

I might even try to order 1 or 2 cassettes, depends on the exchange rate and custom charges, etc. (I'm Canadian).

Honeybunch, do you have any favorites you'd recommend.

Anyone know of a Canadian site by chance?

I have a couple favorite cd's to run with, and I both belong to my 11 year old daughter! The Parent Trap cd is one. This is the soundtrack to the recent remake of the movie, and it's not the instrumental version, it's the songs. Here comes the sun is my fave. It's all very uplifting and encouraging and has good beats. I've given it for gifts a few times and can always find it new at Half.com.

My other best running cd is the soundtrack to the Princess Diaries. Same reasons. Both cd's will keep you motoring along for 50 minutes or so.

Hi Paulette!

Just make sure to keep the music low enough so you're able to hear cars and people approaching you! Safety first!

I like techno & house music when I run. Crystal Method, Chemical Brothers & Sneaker Pimps are my current favorites

Happy running!!

I like ALL of them, with the exception of the Broadway tunes tape. The Classical ones really rock! Imagine running to the William Tell Overature!

They are very well done.....I must have 25 or 30.
