My Jogging Playlist

Running shoes

I hesitate to call this my running playlist, because I can’t sustain a pace that can be considered running. To be accurate, this should be called my walking/jogging playlist. Some of these are labeled Parental Guidance, so consider yourself warned. Here goes:

Time Title – Artist
“Lyric quotes.”
Comments

  1. 01:30 Magnet – Nike ad featuring Lance Armstrong
    A very gentle and inspiring start.

  2. 04:37 In My Heart – Moby
    This one has a moderate speed bass rhythm to get into the workout. You have to have decent headphones/earphones to hear it though.
  3. 02:47 Happy Feet – Randy Spendlove (Shall We Dance? Soundtrack)
    Picking up the pace.
  4. 04:05 I See You Baby (Radio edit) – Groove Armada
    “I see you baby, shakin’ that a**.”
    I guess I’m supposed to look the back of a girl who is running way ahead of me.
  5. 02:45 Wonderful Night – Fatboy Slim
    A really infectious song. Not sure why it wasn’t a bigger hit.
  6. 04:08 Hey Ya! – Outkast
    “Shake it, sugar. Shake it like a Polaroid picture.”
    Refer to comments for I See You Baby. No, I do not imagine André 3000 when listening to this song.
  7. 04:23 You Can Do It – Ice Cube
    “You can do it, put you back into it. You can do it, put your a** into it.”
    ‘Nuff said.
  8. 03:11 Be Faithful – Fatman Scoop featuring The Crooklyn Clan
    Actually, I don’t know what this song has to do with being faithful.
  9. 03:37 Don’t Give Up – Chicane featuring Bryan Adams
    “Don’t give up, you know it’s true. You gotta do what you gotta do.”
    This song brings me up to half an hour, and it is a nice song to end off on a fast pace. Love the bass.

There are more songs, for when I used to work out after half an hour on the elliptical machine in the gym. Maybe I’ll share the extended playlist another time.

  1. Hey Ya! is a great song to run to. It’s a great song to begin with, but the tempo is a good match for a lot of people’s cadence, which helps you pace yourself.

    It takes time to get to the point where you actually feel like you’re “running” and knocking out the miles, but just take your time and ease up your mileage over time. Speed will come with technique and repetition.

    Good luck!
