I've done a quick search on this but don't see anything!

I'm downloading songs at the moment for my ipod for working out and running and I was wondering does anyone have any good suggestions?
 
Answering as a music lover, rather than a fitness person, off the top of my head:

Talking Heads - Road to Nowhere (when it gets going)

Franz Ferdinand - Take me Out (ditto)

AC DC - You Shook me all night long

David Bowie - Fashion

Duran Duran - Girls on Film

All prominent rhythms, not too fast (brisk walking pace maybe?) and most importantly, good songs
 
50 cent - in da club! find this great to run to!
sugababes - round round
footloose
micheal jackson - wanna be starting something
Killers - a lot of their tracks are good for running to.
 
Are you a beginner runner or a seasoned one? If you are a beginner, or if you run about 5k in a session, there are free Podcasts on the couch to 5k programme available online in MP3 and ipod format that gives you exact times for running and walking alternates.
 
Great suggestions, thanks!

JJ1982, I'm a beginner runner! Only running about 3k at the moment. That's a great suggestion, I'll look into that aswell!
 
KC and The Sunshine Band "That's The Way I Like It"
Donna Summer ............... "I Feel Love"
Clancy Brothers ..............."The Rocky Road To Dublin"
Chuck Berry ................... "Johnny B Goode"
Chicago ........................ "Gotta Get You Into My Life"
 
I'm not really into dance music but always found it great in the gym,

David Guetta - love don't let me go
Delirium - Silence
Most Basement Jaxx stuff

Also for some reason the sugababes song 'about you now' always makes me pick up the pace!
 
Anything with a beat.

Which will be most rock bands. AC/DC are great, as are Metallica, GnR etc.

Depends what your tastes are.

Prodigy's stuff is surprisingly good too
 
Hi Kine, I actually downloaded one or two Prodigy and Chemical Brothers songs as they came up in a google search I did for running songs. I didn't think I was a fan but they are good for the beat and the running!
 
Actually a good one I'd say - and a great forgotten underrated track to boot!

Yeh! Just pretend that Kieth is out of his mind and chasing you as you use the treadmill. That should concentrate the mind and make the steps quicken
 
I go spinning a couple of times a week, some of the songs uses are below:

Garth Brooks - aint going down till the sun comes up.
Greenday - saints are coming
Mundy - July
Black Eyes Pies - I got a feeling
 
Here's a few of my suggestions..

Bring it back-Moloko
My Sharona- The Knack
Elevation U2
Murder on the dancefloor-Sophie Ellis Bextor-I know, cheesy beyond belief,but it works for me!
Breathe-The Prodigy
It's not my fault-Blink
Mr Brightside-The Killers
Chelsea Dagger-The Fratellis
Sabotage- Beastie Boys
Ray of Light-Madonna
And finally, Mrs Daithi swears by Sing Hallelujah! by Dr Alban...

Mr. Brightside....good running track.....but have to agree with Mrs. Daithi Sing Hallelujah - best one ever
