Hard rock bands are the best for running, because they get you pumped. Even when I'm not running to music, I sing in my head. It really helps me forget the miles.

Yeah same here I get songs stuck in my head and start singing them even when I'm not listening to music. I always end up with one or two lines repeating over and over lol.

Adding to the list CKY. That is one sweet band and great for running.

Yes, "A Whole New World" is a very good running song - they don't have steady beats, but pretty much everyone grew up on that stuff.  It's Princess Jasmine, too.  Heeheee, I actually have heard a guy sing that.  It was something I'll never forget.  Other good ones: The Bear Necessities, No one (blanks) like Gaston, Be Our Guest, etc.

Also, songs from "Muppet Treasure Island" are really good. Musicals also work well, too. I get them stuck in my head. Phantom of the Opera and Joseph (and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat) definitely have catchy tunes.

Why, of course key lime pie is your favorite food!

I got these Griffin ear plugs that attach to the iPod originals  -- they stay in while running and the block out noise too.  They were $15.00 at Radio Shack (they had them at Best Buy, but they were more expensive).

as far as running while listening....use your own judgement. Bikepath in the middle of the day- fine, familiar residential area with sidewalks- fine, but perhaps not on a major street with tight space. It's always nice to hear those 18-wheelers bearing down on you.

contrary to popular opinion, there's no correlation between ability/seriousness and the decision to listen to music.  Haile Gebrselassie was said to listen to music on his easy runs, but I guess he's just a jogger anyway.

I don't listen to music.  depending on where I'm at on my season I use my runs for either strategizing, practicing form, or focusing on a race.  if I'm not in racing I use my running time as a time to think and relax.  Music really throws me off.
