Looking for  Good "Pump Me Up" Song to Get Me through the Run

 

I'm going out for a run later today and kind of tired of my current songs in my ipod.  Does anybody have any good songs worthy of recommending?

Two of my favorites are Pat Benatar "We Belong" and "Shadows of the Night"   It just seems to get me going, which is weird cause I usually listen to rap.

 

 

ha ha.

i like "dont stop me now" by queen, and of course "we are the champions" and "another one bites the dust" by queen

 

 

also "black betty" by ram jam has the best beat ever

 

 

i also love to run to "i got  soul" by the killers, i think the real name of the song is "all these things that i have done" or something like that

Hells Bells by AC/DC... If you time it right and start it at the tail end of your warm up, just as your looking to poor on some speed it works pretty well   Enjoy.

For me.. A couple different genres

 

1. Guns and roses: Out to get me. Makes it feel like someone is chasing you down

 

 

2. Rodney Atkins: These are my people. I like this song because it makes my training runs feel closer to the marathon run itself. Picture in your head all the people cheering you on. Works great!!

 

 

3. And of course..Last but not least... Survivor: Burning heart.

My favorite album to run to is Tiësto -Parade of the Athletes - that he put together for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens . It's old school techno. Great stuff to run to, especially tempo training.

FUEL by Metallica! I don't have an ipod yet, I'm a newbie runner and I'm hoping to get one for mother's day. Anything by Metallica pumps me up. I started singing Fuel at the last 5 min stretch of my run (doing the couch to 5k plan) and it got me sprinting!

 

 

Good luck!

"Runaway" by Bon Jovi is a jammin tune with a good running pace!  Sometimes I like Free Bird live version just because it is so long (15 min.)  starts slow but it jams for a long time.  "Fool for the City" live version by Foghat is another jammer along with "Too Much Thinking" by Triumph on the Never Surrender album.  Styx has some great tunes, "Blue Collar Man" and "Suite Madame Blue".  Basically classic rock is my theme!

Eye of the Tiger - who doesn't like feeling like Rocky during a run?!

Just about anything by Van Halen (even "Ice Cream Man"), all the way up to "Right Now" by Van Hagar.

The Anthem by Pitbull (feat. Lil Jon) this really gets me going when I'm running. And also another song by Pitbull (Culo) although it has a bad title it seems to always get me going too. I pretty much listen to ANY Reggeaton songs when running.
