Eye of the Tiger? Cake’s Going the Distance?

There is an awesome free podcast called PodRunner that serves up exactly this sort of thing. You can even find a mix that’s at a pace you’re comfortable with. I’ve been running to something of his every morning for the last year or so. http://www.djsteveboy.com/podrunner.html

LaGrange by ZZtop. Blood-pumping guitar riff.

80s pop songs—there’s a reason dancing with bandanas and sweatbands were so popular! Michael Sambello’s Maniac from flashdance is sure to keep your blood pressure up.

hmm born to run by springsteen really pumps me up
also zeppelin ” Achilles last stand, immigrant song, etc
some explosive rock music is the best
also some speed metal ” Ace of spades” by motorhead seems to work well
but mostly aim for songs that have a fast drum beat in the background

EZ Rollers – Breakbeat Generation, Propellerheads – Take California and in that `genre` try this one from iTunes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/45:33 , it´s 45 minutes so enough for an entire run :)
