• Korn-Right now

  —By Paula on May 26, 2011 at 4:48 pm

• Everything to Everyone by Everclear! When I run I do it for me. In my everyday life, I am a mom, wife and teacher and I feel as if I am everything to everyone, but when I run it is just me.

  —By xsandyxx on May 26, 2011 at 4:48 pm

• My most favorite running tune is Back in Black – AC DC. Something about that song just makes me run faster!

  —By Jenniferb on May 26, 2011 at 5:14 pm

• My get moving song is aptly called, “Movin’” by Group 1 Crew. When I am sleepy and having a hard time getting out the door, this song does the trick.

• When I’m sad when I’m down..
  there’s a certain song that brings me around.
  It’s upbeat and sweet..
  brings me to my feet..
  each time I hear that 80′s tune.
  I probably look like a loon..
  dancing and singing on the treadmill at the gym..or outdoor running mile after mile..
  What’s the song you say that makes me smile?
  It’s Walking on the Sunshine…and it would be awhile..
  more like an eternity before I ever got tired of that song.
  I bet you know the words, so sing along..
  next time you are blue..
  bet it will do the same thing for you!

• Anything from the AC/DC Back in Black album!

  —By jules on May 26, 2011 at 5:42 pm

• Right now, E.T. by Katy Perry gets me moving!

  —By TMB on May 26, 2011 at 5:47 pm

• While it’s a slower paced song, “Against the Wind” by Bob Seger has been motivating me to run lately. I’ve been struggling with some personal issues in my life and it feels as though I’m truly running “against the wind”. But I keep running. And I guess that’s what’s important. : )

  —By Jen Finnegan on May 26, 2011 at 5:51 pm

• I Need A Hero.

  —By Maureen on May 26, 2011 at 5:52 pm

• Favorite song to run to is Baba O’Riley by The Who.

  —By kc on May 26, 2011 at 5:53 pm

• the BlackEyed Peas : I Gotta A Feeling is a super uplifting motivating song ! Love It ! =)

  —By Kelly on May 26, 2011 at 6:13 pm

• RESPECT by Aretha Franklin

  —By rachel.schnorr on May 26, 2011 at 6:24 pm

• Animal by Nickelback

  —By Stacie on May 26, 2011 at 6:40 pm

• Right Now by Van Halen- it was popular in high school and brings me back to a time when I was really inpired, athletically to push myself.

  —By Angela A on May 26, 2011 at 7:01 pm

• Broken, Beat and Scarred by Metallica really gets me going!!

  —By RunningMoose on May 26, 2011 at 7:09 pm

• DYNAMITE!!!!!!

  —By Kim K. on May 26, 2011 at 7:31 pm

• I know it’s trite to say this, but every time I hear OK Go’s Here We Go Again and think of the treadmill dance, I just want to get outside and happily bounce through the rhythm!

  Tx for offering the giveaway!

  —By Erica on May 26, 2011 at 8:47 pm

• Beautiful Day by U2.
  Always seems to pull me out of a midrun bad mood and back into a happy smooth running state of mind!

  —By Lorelei on May 27, 2011 at 4:26 am

• The song thatI think will have you running is:

  Dancing In The Street by Martha & The Vandellas

  —By soloroller on May 27, 2011 at 4:54 am

• Total never fail is “I Run For Life” by Melissa Etheridge. When you’ve beat up on cancer (or know someone who has) it’s moving…never fails to make me thankful for the gift of still being able to run. Go on, try to sit still when you hear it!

  —By ShellyRuns on May 27, 2011 at 5:29 am

• The song that gets me moving is Till I Collapse by Eminem.

  —By Paula on May 27, 2011 at 5:52 am

• I have a few songs that really motivate me when I am on a run, so here they are:
  Under Pressure by Billy Joel
  I’m in a Hurry by Alabama
  and
  Salsa de Noche by The Gypsy KIngs

  —By Christine Jensen on May 27, 2011 at 6:18 am

• Love her or hate her, but Miley Cyrus “can’t be tamed” is seriously my jam when I run!! It is the perfect song to come on near the end of my run when im dead tired!!

  —By Stacie on May 27, 2011 at 8:02 am

• I know that it may sound dorky, but I LOVE Gonna Fly Now (the theme from Rocky). I cant’t help it! When the song comes on I feel motivated to push harder.

  —By jrybarczyk on May 27, 2011 at 8:11 am

• Foo Fighters Everlong can get me going and keep me going. It makes me feel so powerful when I’m running to it. And I love that I can listen to it for a slow easy run and also a fast tempo run or interval workout.

  —By jeri on May 27, 2011 at 8:43 am

• Fly Like An Eagle, Steve Miller Band motivates me.

  —By Wayne on May 27, 2011 at 8:47 am

• I am not usually a person that enjoys rap but in my running playlist is Power by Kanye West. Whenever that song hits I start flying. I used it in a playlist for a recent 10k and I credit that song for giving me a 5 minute faster PR

  —By mitch on May 27, 2011 at 9:04 am

• Bad Reputation by Joan Jett

  —By Maalexan on May 27, 2011 at 9:06 am

• Mumford & Son The Cave, love the beat….and I did run through snowdrifts listening to this song!!

  —By mojoes49829 on May 27, 2011 at 9:08 am

• Love, love, love Led Zepplin’s “Trampled Under Foot”. I have been struggling through hard intervals and put this on to push through.

  —By danfogel on May 27, 2011 at 9:27 am

• pink — rockstar

  —By ame525 on May 27, 2011 at 10:07 am

• Raise Your Glass by Pink is my favorite song to finish a run with. Lately, Ready to Run by Dixie Chicks has been inspiring me to get out the door.

  —By Kim on May 27, 2011 at 10:34 am

• For me right now it’s the Christian artist Jamie Grace’s song “Hold Me” [ft. TobyMac]
  Love it!

  —By ~K~ on May 27, 2011 at 11:21 am

• “First Tube” by Phish. It is all instrumental and the rhythem just builds up and then evens out for a perfect song for a run.

  —By Becca4277 on May 27, 2011 at 12:04 pm

• “Born to Run” by Bruce Springsteen motivates me to run. It’s not too fast or too slow.

  —By Lisa on May 27, 2011 at 12:16 pm

• Whenever I feel like I can’t run anymore, when I am too tired, to grouchy, it’s miserable outside, my go to song is ALWAYS Lose Yourself from Eminem. Makes me think of how sometimes you can only prove yourself one time, and how somedays you just need to suck it up and fight through the pain/exhaustion/fear, because when you do, sometimes you find something awesome on the other side of the struggle.

  —By ppeac078 on May 27, 2011 at 7:16 pm

• More – Usher

  —By Sara on May 27, 2011 at 10:20 pm

• Rolling in the deep, by Adele!

  —By Ckane on May 27, 2011 at 10:45 pm

• Girls Just Want to Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper. It is the first song on my racing and everyday running list. always gets me moving. If I hear it at work I get itchy legs and all I can think about it running. Love that song.

  —By Christy on May 28, 2011 at 4:00 am

• Because I’m awesome by The Dollyrots

  —By cql on May 28, 2011 at 5:36 am

• “Faith” by George Michael

  —By erob65 on May 28, 2011 at 5:49 am

• Doing that thing you do by the wonders

  Even when I’m out of breath I find a way to belt this song.

  —By cntrlswthart on May 28, 2011 at 6:30 am

• my favorite running song at the moment is Dog Days are Over by Florence and The Machines
  “Run fast for your mother; run fast for your father /
  Run for your children all your sisters and brothers /
  Leave all your love and your longing behind.
  You can’t carry it with you / if you want to survive”

  —By korryno on May 28, 2011 at 8:03 am

• That would be The Who’s Baba O’Riley!

  —By CStahl on May 28, 2011 at 11:00 am

• I really want to try Minaimalist shoes! I am already a huge fan of Saucony shoes! I love running to anything by the Black Eyed Peas! I also can never stop running when Don’t Stop Believing comes on!

  —By Amber Aslakson on May 28, 2011 at 11:22 am

• For some reason Charlie Daniel’s The Devil Went down to Goergia and the B52′s Love Shack both have the power to really get me motivated! I think the key is diversity in your playlist.

  —By SusanPringle on May 28, 2011 at 2:45 pm

• After submitting my last comment I wondered what year those songs were released. Actually, The Charlie Daniel’s Band released their album with the Devil Went Down to Georgia in 1979 and the B52′s released Love Shack in 1989. So…it seems appropriate to continue the pattern and mention songs that inspire me from 1999 – American Women by Lenny Kravitz and Soul Sister byt Train from 2009. Yes, I really want the shoes, seriously.

  Am actually reading Born to Run by Christopher McDougall and am on page 175 where they make their case for barefoot or minimalist foot protection for running. I have run 4 marathons and many shorter races. I think there is real merit to a shoe that offers less cushioning.
  “this girl really does deserve new shoes…” (subconscious reader thought)

  I will think about any appropriate songs from 1959 and 1969. Once again, diversity in your playlist is the key!

  —By SusanPringle on May 28, 2011 at 3:08 pm

• My running songs also need to be uptempo to get me moving. I also like lyrics that motivate me. My favorite running song is by Cake – The Distance. I really like the beat of the song plus the lyrics talk about going the distance – going for speed. It’s a great running song, it makes me want to run further and faster!

  —By thm_mom on May 28, 2011 at 7:14 pm

• Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne

  —By miriama59 on May 28, 2011 at 8:19 pm

• “Eye of the Tiger” has to be one of the best running songs.

  —By joshuathorison on May 29, 2011 at 1:00 pm

• One song that ALWAYS gets me motivate to get out the door no matter the weather is Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing. The chorus “don’t stop believin, hold on to that feelin” reminds me of that runners high and get’s me motivated. I love when I’m running a race and it comes on when I really need a burst of energy.
  It became my go to song after I had an injury, I set out for a run with no mileage in mind just wanted to see how the knee felt, I ran 7 miles that day with no pain.
  Run. Dream. Believe!

  —By Cynthia on May 29, 2011 at 1:39 pm

• i like the theme to rocky! classic and highly motivational. the trumpets are something else in that song.

  —By calliope123 on May 29, 2011 at 4:21 pm

• Lately, I’ve found that “Party Like a Rock Star” gets me through my tough interval sessions.

  —By Kate W. on May 30, 2011 at 12:42 am

• Move Your Body by Beyonce! It gets me moving no matter what I’m doing!

  —By Julie on May 30, 2011 at 5:10 pm

• I love “Strawberry Avalanche” by Owl City. It reminds me of an astounding display of Northern Lights back in 2001, I believe. I lived in central Minnesota at the time, and coming home one night I caught a glimpse of red waves of light, sheeting across the sky. Ethereal, translucent, yet deep red like succulent fruit. I found a spot to sit outside and stare up at the beauty happening above me. The song “Strawberry Avalanche” brings me back to that place of wonder, and the energy in the music inspires me to run, breathe deeply of crisp, clean air, and enjoy the beauty of creation.

  —By Beth on May 30, 2011 at 11:58 pm

• I don’t know about you, but being the good, red-blooded American that I am, nothing motivates me more than rock ‘n’ roll.

  —By air max women on May 31, 2011 at 1:08 am

• I’m a zealot for safety – no music allowed. Just the sound of nature and my feet hitting the pavement.

  —By Hwydiva on May 31, 2011 at 3:48 am

• The song that really gets me motivated to run is Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone” from the movie “Top Gun”. The song has a great beat to really get one pumped up!

  —By wtmcgough on May 31, 2011 at 4:46 am

• Elliot Yamin ” Alright” Keeps me movin and groovin, I can usually empty all my remaining energy out on the road, treadmill or cardio, no matter how done I feel, once this song comes through my shuffle.

  —By Rachel Allen on May 31, 2011 at 5:31 am

• I can’t help but run FAST when I hear “Baby I Like IT!!!! I..I..I…like it!!!” Baby, I Like It by Enrique Iglesias featuring PittBull~! It is just a fast, upbeat song and when the miles get rough and I hear “Baby I like it, I like it!! Come on and give me some more!” I can’t help but keep running! The mind is powerful and you can’t help but think it is awesome to be running in 100 degree temps with 98% humidity when you are singing those lyrics to yourself!

  —By 5 Miles Past Empty on May 31, 2011 at 5:45 am

• great running song..”Donkey” live version from Great Big Sea

  —By bottle ninja on May 31, 2011 at 6:16 am

• Danger Zone – the theme song from the movie Top Gun.

  Also, the song: Awesome God

  —By kpaulin2 on May 31, 2011 at 6:28 am

• I had a really hard time on just picking just one song. But the one that really gets me going down the road would have to be “All Jacked Up” by Gretchen Wilson.

  —By kristievaughn on May 31, 2011 at 7:12 am

• The song that can keep me going for miles is You Get What You Give, a thumping one-hit wonder from the late 90′s by The New Radicals. And
  I wear Saucony, or I wear nothing at all!

  —By marx17usa on May 31, 2011 at 9:18 am

• One of my all time favorite running songs is Bob Seger’s Get Out of Denver–you can’t help but pick up your pace when the music starts! Some runs I actually replay it to keep the pace going!

  —By boltz22 on May 31, 2011 at 9:40 am

• Black Eyed Peas Good Day

  —By Lorena on May 31, 2011 at 10:22 am

• Mine is not your typical Black Eyed Peas, Britney SPears, Eye of the Tiger jam…my motivating song is….

  Bob Marley – “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” – it was the song that got me through countless training runs and through the last stretch of my Newport, RI half marathon last fall – it is a de-stress, smile inducing, run prolonging tune let me tell you…

  —By Danielle on May 31, 2011 at 11:36 am

• Wild Thang!

  —By Yurhynis on May 31, 2011 at 11:41 am

• Knights of Cydonia by Muse. Anything loud and fast no matter what my pace or distance is.

  —By batfink06 on May 31, 2011 at 11:55 am

• Definitely Country Song by Seether. Makes me want to run and run and run!

  —By Julie on May 31, 2011 at 6:42 pm

• I love running to 80s tunes. Burning Down the House by Talking Heads is beast!

  —By Amydee67 on May 31, 2011 at 7:27 pm

• I like rap/pop/pop punk music when I run. Finding the right beat can really help keep me motivated when I want to quit. Glow by Alien Ant Farm is probably my all time favorite though.

  —By sabs78 on May 31, 2011 at 8:18 pm

• Metallica “Broken, Beaten, and Scarred”

  —By wyenny on June 1, 2011 at 4:44 am

• “Start me up” by the Rolling Stones. The way that song is,I can pick up my feet and complete my work out.

  —By mike49 on June 1, 2011 at 11:40 am

• Pink Floyd – Dark Side of the Moon – just get lost in the music and go and go and go.

  —By computerdude3000 on June 1, 2011 at 12:04 pm

• Jackson 5: I Want You Back

  —By Noah on June 2, 2011 at 9:14 pm

• Alison Krauss and Union Station, and Michael Jackson’s Thriller album

  —By rmurphyr on June 4, 2011 at 11:51 am

• I love to run to Head East’s Never Been any Reason and Boz Scagg’s Lido Shuffle!

  —By sally on June 4, 2011 at 3:54 pm

• Paranoid Android by Radiohead. It’s usually the more eclectic tunes that help me instead of fast rock songs.

  —By FromtheBurro on June 5, 2011 at 10:46 am

• The song that motivates me to run is “Wavin’ Flag” by K’Naan. The lyrics are meaningful and it has a great running tempo to it. I don’t ever get tired of running to it!

  —By Kenny in TN on June 5, 2011 at 11:17 am

• Black Eyed Peas “It’s gonna be a good night”. Can’t resist that beat!

  —By Marciat on June 5, 2011 at 12:38 pm

• “Baby got back” by Sir Mix-A-Lot really gets me motivated to run miles.
