I've set some lofty goals for myself over the next few months. One of them is to run a 5K, which I haven't done since the Tampa Bay Komen Race for the Cure in 2001.
One of the best ways to train yourself to increase the length of time you can run is to interval train---alternating walks and runs/jogs. Sunday and tonight, I did just that, walking to one song on my Nano, jogging to the next for a total of 3.1 miles (5K). However, I've only programmed a few songs in the Nano, so I'd love some recommendations for music that will be motivating both in words and best. Kayne West's "Stronger" is one of my favorites to run to---perfect beat and the repeated "that that don't kill you, can only make you stronger" makes me keep going when I want to stop.
So, if any of you out there have some recommendations I would be so thankful---I enjoy all kinds of music---80's, country, rock, pop, new age, you name it! Thanks everyone!!!

hi cheryl erik here like i aid its all up to your preferances on the music my style is hardcore ans heavy metal the music and song that got me to do a 4minute 17 second mile on the elipical was hatebreed destroy everything ask anna about that one and she challenged me to beat her 6minute mile and it took 3 weeks but i did it i recomend something you love and gets u mveing for the long distances i am former army infantry and i run to cadences i have a bunch if u want to give them a whirl (both for running and walking)again keep up the hard work and i am trainging for a 5 mile mile road run in october good luck in your quest also metalica disturbed hatebreed social distortation are a few see you at the gym hang in there self motivation is the hardest its easy when ft is there pushing u but its when u leave there the true test begins you are kiccking butt and takeing names keep it up never give up dont give the trainers the satisfaction of see u struggle
I'll have to check out those bands on i-tunes---not familiar with them! Are cadences like the "left, left, left, right left" that you always see in boot camp in the movies?
hi cheryl its not quite like that that are a few but most part are actual cadences that to keep your mind off the run and work on your breathing they are very motivateing to me it also gets me a little rythym going too also my girlfriend loads her ipod with salt n peppa
will smith doro (she is metal) like for me its what ever gets u pumped you might not like hard core like i dont like rap but i listen to hardcore to help me reach down deep and go that extra mile when i dont want to u said it best at ft i dont want to cardio after working out with brian but i have to to keep focused and thats what im talking about digging deep to get it done
