I just added 18 more songs by Googling and finding people's running playlists, because I definitely needed more songs to run to. I find myself skipping a lot of songs and prefer certain ones with certain beats. Here are my top 20 songs that keep me going (right now).
20. Kid Rock - All Summer Long - This is another cooldown/warm-up type of song, but it works in the middle of my runs, too, despite it's slower beat.
19. Lil' Wayne - A Milli - This is another good warm-up/cooldown song. It's got a good steady beat, but it's not incredibly fast.
18. Fabolous - You Be Killin' Em - The beat is kind of slow on this one, but for some reason, it goes on my list and it's a song I never skip when it comes up.
17. Timbaland (feat. Chad Kroeger of Nickelback) - Tomorrow In A Bottle - Slower beat, kind of, but it works. I usually listen to this toward the beginning of my run.
16. Elvis Presley - Promised Land - Yes, I managed to fit an Elvis Presley song on here!!
15. Keith Urban - Some Days You Gotta Dance - Another country song with a great beat that puts a bounce in your step.
14. Metallica - Fuel - Not a great beat to run to, since it's so fast, but it lights a fire under me!
13. Common - Universal Mind Control - Must-have.
12. Super Junior - Sorry, Sorry - This is a Korean pop song, but they have some awesome songs to run to, and this one is my favorite.
11. Lady Gaga - Born This Way - Doesn't have the great beat in the world, but it isn't terrible. I just like the lyrics, they definitely help keep me going.
10. Tom Petty - Running Down A Dream - This should be higher on the list, but oh well. AWESOME BEAT. Perfect for any part of your run.
9. Rodney Atkins - If You're Going Through Hell - Yes, I'm a country fan. This has a great beat and the lyrics are good too.
8. NSYNC - Bye Bye Bye - What's a running playlist without some 90s boybands?
7. Jeremih feat. 50 Cent - Down On Me - Just another song with a really good beat.
6. Yellowcard - Lights & Sounds - This definitely picks my pace up when it comes on.
5. Bloc Party - Price of Gas - This is another song that comes on and I sometimes repeat 2 or 3 times to keep my pace going.
4. Rammstein - Du Hast - Yes, it's German Metal. This is a pretty intense song that will get your butt in gear, though.
3. Josh Turner - Firecracker - Great country song with a good beat for running. Even if I'm nearing the end of my run, this song gives me a little burst of energy every time.
2. Todd Rundgren - Bang On The Drum All Day - Once again, the Packers theme helps. This is a great song to listen to when I'm slowing down at the end or warming up at the beginning. A little slower of a beat than a lot of the others, but it works.
1. Lil' Wayne - Green & Yellow Freestyle - This is the song he wrote before Superbowl XLV. Being a huge Packer fan, the lyrics pump me up as it is, but it has an amazing beat to run to (for me). Sometimes, during runs, if it comes up on my playlist I'll listen to it 2 or 3 times before moving onto another song.
