Running Music

running My 5k race is next Saturday, but I'm running a mock 5k race as soon as Thursday. It's time I start thinking about a strong running playlist.

I'll make the mix twenty songs long, and I'll pick the twenty tunes from this list of songs in my collection featuring the word "run" or "running" in the title. There are more songs than this with those terms, but I'll prune my list from these finalists.

Look for the final 20 song running megamix later in the week. The final 20 have to refer to running and have to be good.

Don't forget 'Eye of the tiger' by Survivor, 'Running Up That Hill' by Kate Bush and 'I Will Survive' by Gloria Gaynor. Good luck with the run! See you at the Scotia Marathon in September!

Good Luck with your run, I'm competing in my first 4km run on May 13th. I got my music from www.run2r.com I run consistantly and to the beats with their music. Each run song is 15minutes long, perfect to keep me in sync and the music is really different and I recommend you check it out!
