Best Running Music
I borrowed my wifes i-pod for a run some time back, I prefer to run without music so the I can hear the natural sounds on the C+O canal, but music was nice for a change. I am wondering if certain songs make you all faster/slower, more comfortable? Enter Sandman (Metalica) came on and I would have thought that a great running song, but turned in a slower than average mile. Night swimming, although a slower song, was a great mile.I am a huge fan of REM since the 80's when they where playing Aerosmith , and Velvet Underground covers so that may have something to do with it, but Cheryl Crows First cut, another slower song was a good one also and I am not a fan of her.
My wife, not much of a Gansta, runs to hard core rap! although she would not normally listen to it. How about you?Any special somg that does it?
