The best running music
March 30, 2011
Melanie (check out her new blog Style and Error) recently asked me about the best music to run to.
Since I also need new music on my iTunes to run to (I’ve been listening to NKOTB, Backstreet Boys, Lady Gaga, Kanye West and Ladyhawke in shuffle for months now–and I wouldn’t have thunk it possible, but yes, one can indeed listen to too much New Kids on the Block!), I asked on Twitter what your fave tunes to run to are. Here’s what some of you are listening to:
- Runaway Baby by Bruno Mars, Doo-Wops and Hooligans.
- Anything from Dookie by Greenday.
- Old World Underground by Metric, Pluto by Bjork, Bullet with Butterfly Wings by Smashing Pumpkins and Zero by Smashing Pumpkins.
- Best of You by Foo Fighters.
- The Fire by The Roots, Daydreaming by Kid Sister, Find a New Way by Young Love, Power by Kanye West.
- Fireworks by Katy Perry, Dynamite by Taio Cruz, In da Club remix featuring 50 Cent, Beyonce and Mary J. Blige. (I suppose I should note that Celine Dion was also mentioned by this runner…no particular song or album, apparently anything by Celine Dion. Yep, for realz).
- Kitten vs Pegasus by Windom Earl (http://tinyurl.com/689nn7g)
Happy running!

Thanks for the input, good to know! I’ve run with my nano for a few years, but now I run with my iPhone 4 as I like to use the Nike+ GPS app.

Thanks so much for this post (and for the shout out!).
Loading up on the new tracks today to test out my runs this week!

You’re welcome! Are you chipping away at our 70k challenge?

Chipping away is a good term! I’m following the half-marathon training schedule for Ottawa (but I just started it last week), so I won’t be ready for the actual half…I’ll be ready by the end of June!
I think I’ll be CLOSE to done by the deadline for the 70k. Haven’t synced my iPod in a while…
