Top Ten Songs for Running

Listing of the top ten songs to put on your ipod and play when you feel like going for a run, or if your already a runner to give you extra motivation.
The Top Ten
1 Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N Roses

The whole album makes a great running track list. "Paradise City" for the peak of your run.

Axl: You know where you are, you're in the jungle baby, you're gonna die!
Me: Well, I gonna die so I'm running from the jungle

This track is good when you want to speed up your running.

great song for running in the wild

2 Gonna Fly Now - Bill Conti
3 Going the Distance - Bill Conti
4 Clocks - Coldplay

Laugh out loud I love how there are two Coldplay songs in the Top 10. No, but seriously, the melody on Clocks will make you want to keep running forever and ever.

The lyrics have no correlation with running; however, I guarantee this song will motivate you to keep running.

5 Don't Stop Me Now - Queen
6 Don't Stop - The Loops of Fury
7 Para - Moby & The Loops of Fury
8 Need to Feel Loved - Reflekt
9 Ghosts N' Stuff - Deadmau5
10 Big Sky - John O'Callaghan
The Contenders
11 Mutherf***** of the Year - Mötley Crüe

Great song to run...

12 Radar Love - Golden Earring
13 Get Large - Tribeqa
14 Hit the Road Jack - Ray Charles
15 Where the Streets Have No Name - U2

This is my all-time favorite song and a great running song. Come on - the first line is "I wanna run! "

This track is great to be the first one played, it's ideal if you want to gradually build your stride.

Glad other people love listening to this song while running. Even though I don't listen to music while running. Good runners don't do that. They stay focused and push

Amazing song! U2 is the best rock group ever!

16 Reason to Believe - Dashboard Confessional

This track is great to play when you've nearly reached your physical limit, and are contemplating quitting. A great finishing track.

17 Dream On - Aerosmith

This track has always made me want to run just the feeling of this song. It gives the feeling you can overcome anything.

18 Creeping Death - Metallica

listen to it and you will see

19 Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne

Best in my opinion, for running I need certain sounds, or a certain beat.
This has the power chords nessicary for my success in cc.

Another great track to track to play when you to kick things up a notch

20 Way Away - Yellowcard

The lyrics greatly fit a runner's state of mind.

21 Speed of Sound - Coldplay

This one made Chris run himself. (MTV Awards 2005)

22 Linkin Park - Runaway

I think the name says enough.

23 Give It Away - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Wanna gotcha wanna give it to Yo mama, papa, and daughter. Hell yes!

24 Joker and the Thief - Wolfmother
25 Grease - Frankie Valli

another great speed track.
