Running Songs – Summer 2012
One thing gets me moving – the music playing in my headphones. If I hit on the wrong song, it can pretty much stop my workout in its tracks.
Here’s hoping these new running songs help me go the distance the next few months!

I’m not a runner, but I’m loving most of the songs you’ve listed. I still need to download a couple of them.
I’d also add MGMT – Time to Pretend and Magic – BOB feat Rivers Cuomo
Thanks! Now I need to stop listening to them while I’m NOT running or working out. They lose their power after I’ve had them on repeat around the house.
What a great list! I always am on the lookout for good workout music.
Thanks! I’m in the same boat – always looking for good songs to add!
Great song selection!!
Great list to get ya moving!
I’m not a runner, but I can definitely see how some of those songs would get you moving. I personally like hip-hop when I’m working out…the beat keeps me going.
Yes! Hip-hop definitely gets me moving, too!
You listed so many great songs that I can’t think of another to add. Some of my faves are there.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this list! I agree with Julia’s suggestion of Magic – BOB feat Rivers Cuomo. I like Stronger by Kelly Clarkson!
I can’t believe it, but I don’t think I’ve heard Magic before. Off to download it – my hubby loves Rivers Cuomo! Stronger is a great one, too.
Lights- Ellie Goulding! Electric Feel-MGMT
Great list—thank you for sharing. A couple I like to workout to are: Phoenix–1901, Miike Snow–Animal, Temper Trap–Sweet Disposition, Matt & Kim–Cameras.
My two favorite songs to run to this summer have both been Nicki Minaj songs. “Starships” and “Pound the Alarm”. They get me so pumped up, like I’m going to head to the club, or something.
Nice! I don’t have any Nicki Minaj in my collection yet, but I’ll have to download a couple. And I’m the same way, apparently I think I’m headed to the club to really get in my running groove!
Natalia kills feat. Will.I.am – free
David guetta feat sia – titanium
Outtasight – tonight is the night
Back In Time- Pitbull
Hooligans- Don Diablo
