As sort of a new years resolution this year, I decided to take up running. Overall it's been going pretty well but I'm at a bit of a loss for what music to listen to.
Does anyone have any suggestions for some good LOUD, upbeat music that could listen to while I'm running?
Thanks in advance.
Listen to DragonForce. Every song is like 10 minutes long so you won't have to change them often.
depends what you mean by "upbeat" I suppose ;], still you can't deny that technical death metal is pretty ****ing loud :D
personally i like music you can sing to rather than loud music when running, takes your mind off the running more.
such as, i love DMB, so i can sing most the songs and your focused on singing and not forgetting the lyrics instead of just blowing out your ear drums lol. Listen to music you love.
rather than Lil Wayne or UnderOath which are pretty loud and upbeat.

Anyway, how about Valley of Chrome's Love and Devotion? this is good./.
I think we can all agree that the 80's had a decent selection of punch dancing and running music.
Lamb of god - ALL OF THEIR SONGS
Here's a good song while running... ;)
Knew someone was going to post this.Quote:

So all your "interactions" with the ground just never will be perceived and body will go through repetitive wrong movement until injury.Quote:

Paying attention to too much music while you run can actually cause you to subconsciously move to the music rather than to the pace you should be running at. You may find this helpful, but other times it may not be.
Another thing to consider on the negative side of music running is the fact that the pros really don't do it. Not that that should matter to you, but why they don't may just make some sense. Consider the race that you will be in next week, month, or next year. Will you have music to pace yourself? No, in fact, you will feel out of your normal sync without it. So, it is important to get in tune with your body beforehand with balancing the running music with the running without music.

Any elite or competitive athlete will tell you how much focus it takes to train and then compete, you will NEVER see any professional athletes doing any serious training with headphones on. Why? Because they understand the importance of keeping their focus and prefer to listen to what their bodies are telling them. Every now and then, some will jog with some music for a little bit, but never do they constantly train with music.
