Songs for/about running

[Peter McCoy]

I'm putting together a CD (or more) - what I need are suggestions of songs that are either about running, or inspire running/are good to listen to when running.

The link can be literal - 'Keep on running' for example, or it can be more abstract such as 'I met her on a monday and my heart stood still - a-doo run run run, a-doo run run'.

It's just for something fun to listen to as my girlfriend just bought herself a running machine and I said I'd give her some fititng music.

Any and all suggestions welcome so long as its fitting. In fact it doesn't even need to mention the word run but if you think its a good song to run to then post it.

^ hahaha, holy shit! Childhood memories!


Anything with a good beat is good for running, so maybe some Chemical Brothers/dance music? I think it would really depend on what your gf likes, honestly.

I listen to Rammstein whenever I have to walk anywhere :)

But in all seriousness I tend to listen to almost anything while running. From Hans Zimmer to Kid Rock to Killswitch Engage to Amon Amarth to Jars of Clay.

But I'm weird like that.

"Going the Distance" from the original Rocky soundtrack, played on loop until my lungs and muscles burn and I can't take it anymore.

Seriously that song just makes me want to kill myself with exercise. We used to play that shit in the weight room in football and I could add ten pounds onto any given max lift, depending on if this soundtrack was served up.
