    Running music? For me, just about all the music from the Sonic the Hedgehog series works. They have a fast beat and can really motivate you to run.

    It Doesn’t Matter - Crush 40
    Endless Possibility - Jaret Reddick
    His World - Zebrahead (fast version)

    and any of the stages in the games

    Thanks so much! I was surprised at some of the songs on this list that I like to run to that I didn’t know anyone else enjoyed (like Rammetein!). I would like to suggest some songs from the new Killers album; in particular, “I Can’t Stay” and “Human”. Also, I like “Fastest Man Alive” by Soundteam but that’s an indie band and may be hard to find.

   [...] Also .. it’s funny, but I was doing an experiment on the old Battling Obesity blog after a post became a little popular - I stopped posting for about 5 months and traffic kept increasing! It’s about 102 running songs my wife uses on her mp3 player, and readers have added at least that many more. I am in the process of combining these suggestions into a new page and tried to apply to iTunes to become an affiliate, so I can maybe sell each of these running tunes if I can Alas, they turned me down and I’m back in review. But - I wonder if there are other ways I can capitalize on that? The running market is big out there … there are specific sites out there based on beats per minute, jogging, running, workout, and there may be lots I can do with that - if I had a hook.
