Oh yeah, sometimes ambienty stuff is the best. Also, pounding pinnacle of faggotry house music.

Also,

Ghostface - Run!
B&S - Stars of Track & Field / Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner
Roy Ayers - Running Away
Information Society - Running

etc

Superfast music -- like say, vintage Bad Brains or someone -- probably isn't the best, or at least not for helping you set a pace. I'd imagine you'd be better served by something with a steady, quick pulse -- like something by Underworld or something. The last time i went out for a run that I remember -- suffice to say, it does not happen often -- I think i played William Orbit's "Adagio for Strings" Remix and "Juanita/Kiteless" by Underworld.

so true. i was surprised at how great magnetic fields' Charm of the Highway Strip was for running, for instance. not what i would have expected.

eye of the tiger - survivor
works expecially well if you're near a many-stepped library.

The Beastie Boys - "Sabotage" just like in the video!

I learned two years ago that my jogging pace is precisely timed to the BPM of 90% of the hits from Tommy James & the Shondells. It won't help your REALLY FAST running but it might be helpful if you're out for a Sunday jog ...

I just used "Juanita/Kiteless" last week!
As far as bpm goes, I find that if its close, but still off your ideal pace, it can fuck you up.

I don't run so fast anymore, but if I want to swim fastly, I just have to imagine the theme from Jaws by John Williams. (the other John Williams)

armin van buuren vs m.i.k.e. - pound
paul kalkbrenner - zeit
alden tyrell - phaze me (instrumental)
hatiras - spaced invader (j majik remix)

none of which are tested, mind you.
