My Top 10 Running Songs (Sure To Get You An Extra Mile)
October 15, 2012 9:16 AM 
I hate lists involving music because ranking music that connects with me is the hardest thing in the world for me to do. Alas, I somehow have created a Top Ten List of Songs to Run To. This fine mix of tempo and melodic energy is the only personal trainer I need on the road or trail. Hopefully someone out there enjoys!
This playlist should really keep the wheels turning (there’s only a couple cliche tunes). Hopefully, it gets you into the required zone:
- Coldplay – “Fix You” (the breakdown at the end, fahgetaboutit)
- Placebo – “Running Up That Hill” (far better than the original in terms of running)
- The Prodigy – “Smack My Bitch Up” (you will be a bitch to a faster pace)
- Finger Eleven – “One Thing” (melodic slow tempo that puts you into a robotic running zone – amazing!)
- Nine Inch Nails – “Suck” (NIN make awesome running music!)
- Florence and the Machine – “Dog Days Are Over”
- The Verve – “Bittersweet Symphony”
- Red Hot Chili Peppers – “Can’t Stop”
- Rage Against The Machine – “Sleep Now in the Fire”
- Cake – “The Distance”
