View Full Version : Music to run to
I've started running recently and I've found it really helps to listen to music whilst running.
I've found that some music is better than others and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of music that's good to run to.

I just made up a playlist on my ipod of all my personal favourites, singing along makes the time pass faster.

depends what u like
i have mostly thrash metal & punk, with a bit of prodigy chucked in
You need to make sure the tempo of the music is not too quick. Have something fast a pacey and you'll run faster than you want to and end up knackered too quickly.
Well that's the way it is for me anyway. I have to be very selective on the music I listen too. :lol:

Kylie Minogue or Ashlee Simpson.
Nuff said
Personal fave is Bryan Adams. Especially Summer of 69.

I know what you mean. I find the slightly faster dancey stuff good, faitless is my current fave. Just wanted some other ideas.

Maybe I'll try some cheesey pop.
I find Burn by Nine Inch Nails is good. It's a slow build up followed by a bit where I can't help but be flat out, no matter how tired I am. Great for that final burn at the end of a workout!
Dance music even if you dont like it, trancy stuff as it tends to keep the same BPM all the way and if mixed right will seem seamless.
I hapen to like it so ca nrun with it, however i even had a mate who hated it but said it would be good to run with as its a regular beat.

download the mp3's of the belgian "start to run" program here (http://www.vub.ac.be/sport/podcast.html)
the playlists are in the pdf link about 1/4th down the page. You do have to take the dutch pep-talks of Evy Gruyaert :love: in between the songs with it...

That's the kind of thing I'm after.

Bit of classic trance music for a spirited jog or some hip hop if I need to rid myself of some agression!
Nark Ronsons Album and Lily allen Album with some ministry of sound CD's thrown in for good measure.
I walked around 12 miles in ibiza along a cliff face on the quite north east side of the island........whilst my missus was sat on the beach worrying where the hell I had gone and was contemplating calling for help :cheers:......I completely lost track of time.

No music for me as it has an inpact on the pace. I tend to rub "accordingly to the beat".
All sorts on your iPOD then just put it in shuffle - especially on a long run!!!

or NIN - dead souls

I would put mine on shuffle as well but it's a bit of a bummer when Frank Sinatra comes on when your running full tilt!

Frank sinatra why why why how old are you?
Lol :oops: I'm only 39 but have a wide wide wiiiiiiiide range of musical tastes.
If I hear something I like I'll listen to it. Doesn't matter who it is.
I've even been to see G4 you know! (I would just like to point out I was dragged there by the mrs!)
Nev.
my Mrs drags me to Opera's but i only let her cos it gives me an excuse to go to Amsterdam with the lads every summer
Ha nothing wrong with opera.......I listen to pretty much anything :smt045 some male opera is brilliant.
See there is goodness out of every bit of badness! :smt045

good beat. jonny lang, zz top... some bonjovi.... rock or cblues with a good psoitive beat to it
as its getting darker at night,(no one will see my red face) i was thinking about taking up running (well more of a wobbly really)
never done running or jogging (im built for comfort not speed) what is the best way to get started? Thought it was bad for your knees? am I better going to treadmill? Just cant seem to let go the bars on the treadmill.
I don't run, I just serviced my MTB :smt045

I'd not done running before a few weeks ago. I started off running for one minute then walking for one minute and then repeating (did about 20 minutes which was about 1.6 miles). Yesterday I ran 3 miles (with some walking) for the first time.
I think this website (http://forums.sv650.org/www.runnersworld.co.uk/)has some good advice and tips etc.
It is bad for your knees, I would have thought running on a treadmill would be better than the pavement but I can't be bothered with going to a gym.
I need to get proper running shoes, must do that this weekend.
