Current (or all-time) favorite running songs?

[Anonymous]

I'm looking to refresh my running mix. What are your favorite songs?

I could have posted the exact same thread this a.m. After my nano died and I found myself singing the "Thomas the train" theme song no less than 3 times during this morning's run. I am all ears.

I like Lady Gaga because it's high energy enough to motivate me to keep running and the BPM of most of her stuff is in line with my current pace. I run a 9'15" mile for shorter runs and nearly an 11' mile for longer runs. I'm slow.

I was surprised to find that Coldplay's "Yellow" song was listed as a good running song with BPM in the range of 170-180, because it just sounds a lot slower. I tried it out on the first mile of my run yesterday and ran at a much faster pace of 8'30"... until I ran out of steam and had to walk.

Just finished a long run while listening to Pretty Lights. Best part is all their songs are free downloads on their site.
