I am running in a race next month. What are some inspirational songs that could be played for me as I near the finish line? Give me some rockin' tunes, avoiding rap or country. Thanx!
Van Halen: 5150, Dreams, Eruption/You really got me, Why Can't This Be Love, etc.
Rush: Spirit of Radio, Red Barchetta, New World Man
The Who: Won't Get Fooled Again, Baba O' Reilly, Pinball Wizard, Love rain on me, You Better You Bet
Boston: Don't Look Back, More Than A Feeling, Cool the Engines
U2: Bloody Sunday, 2 hearts beat as 1, Bad
Santana: I'm Winning
Steppenwolf: Magic Carpet Ride
Kenny Loggins: Danger Zone
Guns & Roses: Welcome to the Jungle
AC/DC: Back in Black
Top Gun Anthem by Harold Faltermeyer
Rocky, too many to list

These are pretty obvious but Chariots of Fire, Rock You like A Hurricane and Eye of The tiger

2 very different songs that can be somewhat inspirational while running are:
Remember the Name- Fort Minor
and
I Run For Life- Melissa Etheridge

When I was in cross country our coach had us do one lap runs around the track(that is a 400m run or quarter mile run) over and over again at a 75 second pace every day that week. Track running can be boring. But it was so easy with the help of some good pop music over the feild speakers like I Feel Like a Woman. We all ran so much faster in the race after that week. Good rock tunes would be like AC/DC or play something fast like Greenday or whatever you like. If you have a hard time improving use Duoble X. It works great for me and gives me so much energy. Asafa Powell the fastest man in the world uses it. Go to http://eanderson10.qhealthbeauty.com/ to buy some.
