music Running Music

[Adente 1,000]

Hey guys, I need some suggestions for some new music to put on my iPod to listen to while going on runs (Cardinal Sin of running, I know, but I really do run better listening to music! No, really!) Ideally some good old fashioned rock, with good guitar/drum action. Suggestions?

I feel like Blessed by a Boken Heart's Pedal to the Metal album is fantastic at keeping me on-pace whenever I run. It's also fantastic road trip music.

Well, what about this? I mean, since this is a pony forum, I can recommend something like this. Anyway, it is good and the album is really cheap.

for me Linkin Park and "old" Green day (before they went all super-soft) tracks to well:

what I´ve done

numb encore

 

holiday

basket case

american idiot

 

I take some house/ electro with me, but that mustn´t be everyones thing

[zDashiez 496]

All Shall perish: Awaken the dreamers,  Hate.Malice.Revenge (More on the metal side) 

These ain't so old, but still good
TFK: Welcome To the masquerade,  
Red: Faceless 
Evens Blue: Destroy the obvious 
Egypt central: White Rabbit, Ghost Town

I feel that Vibrasphere is fantastic to listen to while doing...anything really. I listen to them when I am making sigs or if I just want some relaxing music to zone out to.

As this thread seems to be about Music, I've moved it over to Media Discussion

 

Personally I have a lot of rap and rock music on my running playlist as it keeps you pumped up and moving. Currently these are my favourite songs to run to. 

 

 

 

 

 

(yes they're both related to Bioshock Infinite in some way, but ignore that for now!)

I used to listen to dubstep when I went out on runs, it did t ally work though because every time the bass got dropped I would stop and just improv dance to it till the beat picked up again >< !

If you want Running Music here is one of my recommend songs that must have to be Running Scared that are performed by Ell/Nikki.

I know you already mentioned not wanting to go without music, OP, but it's usually better if you do.

I suggest Zebrahead. Not only are they an underrated masterpiece on their own, but their very fast punk songs are PERFECT for running too.

@,

 

Yeah, I know I'm shooting myself in the foot by listening to music while running, but since I don't run competitively that much, I usually run simply to train for soccer, I don't think it will be that damaging. Mainly I run to build up my endurance and stamina. I occasionally run races, but no more than a 5k at most. I'm not good at longer distances, and hit a wall at about 8 miles, which I discovered when I twice tried to run half-marathons. So I guess I'm a mid-distance runner, but I'm not partial to non-stop running, which is why I much prefer the stop-and-go style running of soccer.

 

How about you? Are you a distance runner?
