What do you listen to?

I'm trying to find something to listen to while running on the treadmill. I have a very old mp3 player and a blackberry that I can download music to.

Any suggestions?

When I run on the treadmill, I usually am doing either Cardio Coach or Treadmill Trainer - if you google those, they're great MP3 interval programs that guide you through and make the workout FLY - and they get you super duper duper fit without it feeling like terribly hard work.

Outside, I regularly change it round, but one thing I did run to recently that was really really funny was the Best of ACDC. Lol, the fast tempo had me running at about 20km an hour, by the time I got home I was in a lather of sweat and ready to have a heart attack. Doug just said "shit, what happened to YOU"? I had the whole adrenaline thing going, he reckons my pupils were fully dilated!

Most of the music I like to run to is Aussie pub rock stuff, so I'm not much help in that regard.

:) I had a friend who would work the night shift and driving home he'd have the windows down (in freezing weather) and ad/dc playing as loud as possible. I had forgotten that! It definitely seems to get the adrenaline pumping!

I have my IPOD loaded with dance music...fast tempo only. It ranges from Chuck Berry to Beyonce...as long as it is fast, then it's good. So for my routine this morning I heard:

Springsteen, Elvis, Stones, Elton John, Avril Lavigne, Rod Stewart, Donna Somers, Chuck Berry, Beatles, Jive Bunny, Cher, Backstreet Boys, Jerry Lee Lewis, U2, Phil Collins, Elvis Costello, Eric Clapton,

So far I've been blessed with making my trainer talk while we run. Tomorrow is my first 5K and he's in Miami. So...to get beyond that, I've filled my MP3 player with dance/rap music. It's more pop than I usually listen to, but it's gotta help. I just want to avoid people talking to me! This won't be a social event for me...

But...when trying to figure out what to put on, I found this site. I thought it might be kind of helpful. See what you think and let me know! Paige
