My playlist is over 7 hours, but on my hard 20 miler last weekend, there were certain songs that made sure I kept running.

Kanye West - Stronger (That that don't kill me can only make me stronger)

Fort Minor - Remember the Name (10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure 50% PAIN...)

Eminem - Til I Collapse (Til my legs give out...I'm gonna whip thisxxx til my bones collapse...)

Eminem - Lose Yourself (If you had one shot...would you capture it..or let it slip?)

Kevin Rudolf - She Can Get (She don't stop..she can get it...don't quit, the way that she moves it...)

Kevin Rudolf - Let it Rock ...is just cool

Chemical Brothers - Galvanize (Don't hold back..cause you woke up in the morning with a mission to move)

ES Posthumous - Pompeii ...nice run beat with a choir that adds that desperation feel that O Fortuna has

All American Rejects - Gives You **** - Limousine remix (It gives you ****..)

There are SO many good ones though..

Try    Seal- "Amazing"   Good motivator! New to running and will be running my first 5 k on sunday! I am scared and have not trained like I should have. Have a small toddler and just hard to get energy and time aside. Reminds me to put more music on my i-pod for the race. I only have about 10 songs on there.  Any suggestions for your favorite songs?

Late on this reply, but I hope you did well on your 5K race.

Here are some motivational songs I like (maybe I posted before), majority of my playlist are rock songs.

Move Along by The All American Rejects

How Far We've Come by Matchbox 20

The Anthem by Good Charlotte

Where Are We Runnin by Lenny Kravitz

Beat It by Fall Out Boy feat. John Mayer

Pump It by Blackeyed Peas

Keep up the training and good luck!  Happy running

Does anyone find running to a cadence helpful?  

I recently ran a 5k whereas there were a squads running to cadence.   I turned off my music and began to run alongside them and I felt quite comfortable with the pace  ...and the entertainment value.      I am considering downloading some cadence, just need to research which branch(es) have the best ones.

Hi! Newb runner and new to the forum! But I must say that the one song that has been on every mp3 player and iPod I've ever had is:

Golden Earring - Twilight Zone

It's got a great beat and is about 8 minutes long.

Heavy Metal is what appel to me, I usually try Its my life(Bon Jovi) and New Divide(Linkin Park).

Wow, favorite songs?  Anything that is up beat to keep me going.  I also like mellow tunes when I am out on an easy run.  so here are some of my fav's that are apart of my iTunage:

Lit : My Own Worst Enemy

Gwen Stefani: The Sweet Escape and Cool

All American Rejects: Gives You ****

Black Eyed Peas:  Boom Boom Pow.  Pump It, My Style. Gone Going, They Don't Want Music

Eminem:  My Name Is, Without Me, The Real Slim Shady

Estelle: American Boy

House of Pain: Jump Around

Justin Timberlake:  SexyBack, Summer Love, Senorita, Cry Me a River, Rock Your Body

Lady GaGa: Just Dance

Lenka:  Trouble is a Friend

Usher:  Yeah!

Wild Cherry:  Play That Funky Music

That should get you started, well, give you some good ideas anyway.  I took a spin class for a few weeks and got a copy of the i Tunes tracks from that.  If you want to know more just let me know.

I mostly like rock and older stuff when i run, but pretty much anything upbeat except for rap, hip-hop, techno and the **** that goes with it. Stuff like that gets on my nerves.

You're gonna go far kid- the offspring

Dancing with myself, white wedding, rebel yell- billy idol

Everlong, learn to fly- foo fighters

I touch myself- divinyls

message in a bottle- the police
