Not sure whether this goes in AR&R or here. Here goes...

So yeah... I was wondering what you nigras listened to while jogging/running. I have absolutely shit taste in music to the point I'm sick of my own stuff. Any recommended artists that specialize in stuff to keep a steady rhythm while you jog then get more intense for when you decide to burst ahead with a run?

Also... I like listening to music to drown out my wheezing.

Use something like http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ to edit in two tracks. For example, pick a soft song, and edit it out so it plays for 30 seconds, then add a clip of a fast song, then slow song again, and so on and so forth.

As for recommendation, I don't run but I can see myself listening to Beethoven or some other classical stuff. That coupled with RATM or Pantera. Horrible combo I know.

Rock or techno. It'll make you wanna move.

as nike and apple created some gadgets for running with an ipod, I can only recommend you get itunes and search for "running music" podcasts ..

Thanks for the advice. I'll chase that stuff up iTunes stuff up. I used Audacity during my YTMND phase for looping music but I never spliced songs together nor do I particularly want to.

I was just wanting more personal recommendations. I can totally see Pantera or Beethoven scoring my running. RATM not so much. Great band though.

Studies have shown that listening to music with a BPM that is close to your working heartrate increases performance.

I literally JUST got back form the first run ive been on in over a year. I listened to Daft Punk and Groove Armada. One of my favourite CDs to lsiten to while running is "The Very Best Euphoric House Breakdown" - Maybe not to your tastes but man it gets those legs PUMPIN'

Oh this ones easy...

"and I would walk 500 miles and-a I would walk five hundred more, to BE the man who walked a thousand miles..."

Some really mainstream stuff on there, but I find that powermetal like dragonforce is good for running. I really suggest Mitternacht if you are going to run at night.

It's a free podcast that updates weekly with new work-out mixes. It's also on iTunes.

If you dont mind the classical stuff, william tell overture is one I recommend particularly...

If you dont mind eminem, "Lose Yourself" is particularly motivational for runners. Listening to the lyrics, you know its about rapping but you can apply alot of it to running, too.

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger-Daft Punk

I've run three miles listening to this on a continuous loop. Really good. I also love Buckcherry. Next 2 You and Lit Up are great.

Lol wtf?

I like to load up on metal and trance for my rides. Slayer, Iron Maiden, and a mix album called Spectral Sound Vol. 1 are my top 3 right now.

Nothing. I call it the soundtrack of life. You never know what sounds you might miss when you're running. It is always a good idea to be aware of your surroundings.

For those new to running, it is also a good idea in my opinion to not listen to music at the same time so you can hear and properly control your breathing.
