I think you are too cool. Cake, a tribe called quest, outkast, busta rhymes, the boss, the fugees…..

And huge points in my book for animal collective. “fireworks” is one of my favorites for my runs. I usually have it on my playlist twice!

I also found a new must-have for my running playlist. “consolation prizes” by Phoenix. It’s super fun. Try those two-I think you’ll like them. Oh and here are two more-

“feel the pain” by dinosaur jr
“teenage riot” by sonic youth (this one takes 20 seconds or so to kick in, but well worth it)

give them a try and and let me know what you think : ) I have more where those came from if you’re ever in a music slump.

At my company we did a similar thing. We broke down the playlist by miles and we put in samples of each song. We had some overlaps with your playlist. But matching the playlist to course is a great idea.

Here are some personal favorites of mine that have pulled me through some races and long runs:
Longwave – Sattellites
Metric – Gold Gun Girls
Moby – Machete
White Rabbits – Percussion Gun
Placebo – Running Up That Hill
Bravery – Believe
The Doors – LA Woman (Paul Oakenfold Remix)
Hole – Dying
Morcheeba – Run Honey Run
Low vs. Diamond – Heart Attack

Random but fun hip hop/rap
T-Pain – Church
Rihanna – Breaking Dishes
Swizz Beats – Money in the Bank <-LOVE IT

The Hole song is kind of ironic but I always fit it in towards the end of the middle of a LSR because that's exactly how I feel at the moment.

Lose Yourself – Eminem… probably my most motivating song and has stood the test of time and remained in my Running Playlist for years now.

Good luck at MCM! You’ll rock the house.

But not really …). Hope you enjoy the songs, and let’s both keep our fingers crossed our iPods are Kosher on race day!

I, too, love the way music sounds (and feels) while running long distances. I am about to plan my running play list for this year’s Marine Corps Marathon but I am worrying about whether I am going to be hassled about wearing an iPod during the race. Do you know anything about whether or not they really enforce the supposed ban on music playing devices? I ran the MCM in 2006 and didn’t have any problem whatsoever. Do you think that I will have similar luck this year? Thanks again for your list. I intend to look up some of the unfamiliar songs you have listed since they appear to be well “pre-tested”. Good luck to you in your running.
