** Please don’t judge me on this music selection. Most of these songs are only songs I would work out/run to, NOT songs I’d actually tell people I listen to (even if I do). If there is a song you think should make the list,
please send me an e-mail! The songs are organized by bpm
(beats per minute) on the left, then alphabetically.**
Also, I have recently teamed up with the DJs at Rock My Run to compile a 75-minute running playlist made from some of my favorite songs below. It is available for download and you can find all the details about it here!

Oh wow, Katie! That is quite a list! You may want to add M.I.A. The entire Kala and Arular albums are pretty much the ultimate running music!
(*I noticed you had some GaGa…….teehee)
Ha! I know, right? Me and Lady Gaga have a love/hate relationship. The ONLY time I listen to her is on my runs. Otherwise, her scratchy voice makes me cringe a little…or a lot. 🙂
Kate – what a great list! I love how you have crossed over between genres as well as listed BPM.
Over at http://rockmyrun.com we have actually taken a bunch of these songs and put them into DJ mixes made for running. Our DJ’s use these mixes to help promote themselves and runners get the benefit. Check us out let us know what you think.
Maybe we could do a custom one for you? Does “Kate’s Rockin’ Runnin’ Mix” have a good ring to it? 🙂
dude! Scissor Sister, Fall Out Boy and the new Gaga album are my FAV running songs! Born This Way MIGHT be the best song for me to run to EVER! Did a personal best distance of 4.5 miles in 45 min this am thanks to these!
You need Ali in the Jungle by the Hours! 🙂
*gasp* no Cowboy Mouth?!
Okay this list is pretty amazing- thanks for letting me know via twitter earlier!
As for a suggestion … songs(mixes) by Girl Talk get me so pumped! Some of the songs are kind of annoying but others make you forget you’re even running!
Glad you like! I have heard of Girl Talk but never really listened to much of their music. They are British, correct? I’ll have to iTunes them! Thanks for the suggestion!
Girl Talk is a DJ. :]
You can find his cd’s online only (or at his concerts) and can be purchased for a donation. My favorite of his ‘CDs’ is All Day.
dang girl you did work!
Great post!! I was just telling myself that I needed some new running tunes!
Great list. I like your taste in music. I found that I was able to increase my running pace considerably when I reloaded my MP3 player with lots of Muse, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Adele and Arcade Fire, and dropped many of the oldies. I noticed that you had no Arcade Fire on your list. Would suggest you give them a listen. Thanks for your listening recs and the great report you posted on the Red Carpet Run last night. It was a fantastic event!
Thanks for the heads up! I’ve been meaning to look into some Arcade Fire and I definitely need to add them to the list! Thanks for the suggestion! The Red Carpet Road Race WAS awesome! Not sure how they plan to top that! 🙂
Hooray JJ Fad! I want to go skating now. Anyway Thanks for some new music for my first half this weekend.
Lupe Fiasco Solar Midnight BPM 160, Shiny Toy Guns Major Tom BPM 165. Sometimes I loop one or the other so that I keep a steady pace on a 5K.
this list is unprecedented. Very nicely done.
Thanks! I have been working on it for a very long time. Be sure and check back often for new additions!
I can’t believe there’s no Daft Punk on here. I listen to “Technologic” at least once a day during my run. “D.A.N.C.E.” by Justice is another good one. LOVE them both. They’re my 2 go to songs when I need that extra push to go another mile.
Oh and also “Genesis” by Justice. I use that a lot for warming up. There’s no lyrics, but I love the beat.
I love your mix on rockmyrun.com! I actually just discovered the site last Friday and wrote a post as well. Check it out! http://foodandfunontherun.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=836&action=edit
Can’t wait for you to come out with some more mixes 🙂
Nice list! I can def do without the Katy Perry (ugh), but some of my favorites (The Veronicas – Untouched, for example) are on there!
And here’s one: GiGi D’Agostino – I’ll Fly with You
This is really cool. I’m a pretty new runner, and to this point I’ve not really given thought to the bpm, other than realizing that all fast paced songs tends to wear me out before I really get going… Thanks for sharing your list. I might have to take a note or two from it:)
What a great list! I appreciate the breakdown by BPM too. There’s stuff here I’ll be adding to my playlists now. Thanks!
I like old songs because I’m old. Depeche Mode- Master and Servant (live version, 101); Depeche Mode- Behind the Wheel (live version 101); Sash- Ecuador; Company B- Fascinated (12 in exrtended remix); Sylvester- Do You Wanna Funk (12 in single); Frankie Goes to Hollywood- Relax (extended remix); Bronski Beat- Hit That Perfect Beat (12 in version) and My Dil Goes Hmm (from Salaam Namaste, English version, club remix) are some of my favorites.
What a list!!!
My favorite – and most needed song is ‘Till I Collapse by Eminem. I know just where to put it in my playlist to keep me going 🙂
I really enjoyed this post and used it as a great source to create a list of my own with links and genre organization! I compiled 300+ songs organized across the genres of Pop, Rock, Rap, Classic Rock, and Instrumental. All songs have iTunes links so you can download easily. If you need more songs take a look!

Looking forward to updates here!
Awesome! I just came across your blog looking for maternity running clothes and struck gold with this list! I’m always looking for more upbeat running jams. I’m partial to dance/electronic but I can’t wait to DL some of these songs. Some of my favorites that you don’t have listed are Enrique Iglesias “I Like it (feat. Pitbull)”, Swedish House Mafia “Miami 2 Ibiza”, Beyonce “Deja Vu (Freemasons Dance Remix)”, Beyonce “Ring the Alarm (Freemasons Club Mix Radio Edit).
Hi! Thanks for commenting! Those are GREAT suggestions!! I will be sure and add them to my list!!! 🙂
Love it!!! I have Party in the USA on my list, too… 😉 Some of my other favorites are by Christian artists – Stronger by Mandisa, Move by MercyMe, and Jesus Freak by DC Talk… I also have some Journey – Don’t Stop Believin. 🙂
Adept – Shark! Shark! Shark! When I was cycling to lose weight I listened to the entire album. Swedish rock. So fast! 😀 I like the list though. perhaps I’ll add some of those to mine. Thanks friend !
It’s actually a great and useful piece of info. I’m satisfied that you just shared this useful information with us. Please stay us up to date like this. Thanks for sharing.
Love it! Ok – how do you figure out your BPM? I use this BPM Analyzer, but I’m not sure how accurate it is. Do you organize this with the lower BPMs to help you pace yourself in the beginning of a half and then ramp up to your Power Songs toward the end? You’ve got a LOT of my faves in your list, and commenters have added some great ones. I’ll have to go see what I have that you don’t!
I have different analyzers on my Mac that determine BPM. There are lots of great programs out there! Yes, I choreograph my playlists to ramp me up or take me down a notch when I need it. Be sure and check out these two other posts I did:
Running by BPM
Rock To The Beat Mix
Thank you for this list! I’m a little late for this, but
have you tried Santigold’s music? ‘Creator’ makes me feel pretty
badass every time it comes on. Also, Gorillaz’ ‘Dare’ has a good
beat, though I haven’t tried running with it yet. By the way, I
just started a blog so I’m not sure how this works, but I linked
this page and your homepage this morning in my entry (talking about
finding music to run to). Is that OK? I can take it out if not, I
don’t mind.
amazing list, you really covered a good variety, definitely
see plenty from my workout list! here’s mine……. One More by
Superchick (FAVORITE!). Everything I Need by the Walllfowers.

Own Way by TheGlee Cast… Not sure about bpm but Those are my go
