Im going to have to go with Living Sacrifice - the hammering process. Some good death metal with a grind/speedcore twist.

I am trying to get the 180 foot strikes per minute thing down, so I have created a tape of tunes that run at 90 beat per min. They are not necessarily motivating for running, but when I run on the tread mill, I keep the nice steady 180 rhythm...

The tough of the track
and the wind
and the rain that's beating down on your back
and your heart's beating louder
and goes on even more till the sound
is beating in your head
with every step you tread
determination make you run
never stop
gotta win
gotta run till you drop....

good song, based on the novel and movie out of england in the '60's.

Probably the best running music would have to be:

1)Sweetness- Jimmy Eat World
2)Linkin' Park- In the end
3)Mighty Mighty Bostones- Knock on Wood

stone temple pilots- core album
tool- any

i like to use music to bring myself to a state of meditation before i race. i am completely relaxed and focused after some prodigy, tool, stone temple pilots, or system of a down.

Try "Can't Touch This", that old 80's song by MC Hammer. It's like my XC team's theme song!!

My favorite music for running is Metallica. The Black Album, And Justice for All... They keep me pumped and going the distance! I love them. Or anything with a fast loud tempo...

Mortal Kombat soundtrack. Great repetitive beat, though I guess if you're a fast runner it might be a little slow...fine for me though : )

Jimi Hendrix comes to mind....

"Purple Haze," "Fire," "Foxey Lady," "All Along the Watchtower," "Freedom," and "Vodoo Child" will pump you up. Also, his version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" is incredible.

As I'm an 80's guy...

"Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood
"Hello Again" by the Cars
"Rock the Casbah" by the Clash
"Middle of the Road" by the Pretenders
"I love Rock 'n' Roll" by Joan Jett
"You got Lucky" by Tom Petty
"Sunday, Bloody Sunday," "New Year's Day," and "Pride" by U2

And if you really want dizzying, hard-core, motion music, try Phillip Glass' "Koyaanisquatsi." Warning, though, it's not for the untrained ear.

I like "Going the Distance" by Cake. It's about a race car race but it's still cool!
