As a "shout-back" to my friend Josh, a running enthusiast and his running throng, I thought I'd post a few tunes that would be sure-fire home runs on your iPod as you try to reach that end goal... whatever that may be. While I am not much of a runner, I did use the treadmill at the gym (when I went) and found that music helped me stay on the death contraption.
Not necessarily strictly high-energy beat driven music works (although that helps) when running I found (as I am sure most pros know) that a particular song or group of songs need to have an arch, with spaces for a slower jog, to a flat out break-neck run. Anyhow, for those runners out there, here are 50 selections that will... keep you running:
Hyper-Ballad - Bjork
In Your Arms (We Gonna Make It) - Benjamin Diamond
We Run This - Missy Elliot
Forca - Nelly Furtado
Here it Goes Again - OK GO
Ca Plane Pour Moi - Plastic Bertrard
Comfortably Numb - Scissor Sisters

I had a great run last night and had "I Like The Way" by Bodyrockers in my head the whole time. Great beat to that tune.
Also listening to The Killers, Fountains of Wayne and Jimmy Eat World.
