I haven't been able to run lately due to a back injury, but on my iShuffle at the moment, I've the following I like running to:

Causa Sui - Summer Sessions Vol. 1

There are trails near my college that I usually run and this album just makes it magical. It was a recommendation from Jackhammer when I mentioned I was digging the stoner rock lately.

Isis - Oceanic

I know it might be a bit heavy for running, but damn does it get me going. If you haven't caught on yet, I love listening to albums all the way through while running. I haven't figured out yet if this is because I'm too lazy to make myself a running playlist or because I'm just that anal. This album gives me a perfect hour of running - as of lately anyway.

Atmosphere - God Loves Ugly

This is on there and though I've had my time with it, I am so sick of it. I don't know what it is, but it has been rubbing me the wrong way lately.

Bad Religion - All Ages

Another favorite to run to; it's a good mix of all their hits. I love albums that get you pumped. Then there are albums that not succeed at getting you pumped, but also include excerpts that just gets you jolted for a brief moment for that heart rate increasing sprint.

Russian Circles - Empros

Their latest and being as they're an instrumental post-rock band, there are dull moments that I might skip past. If I'm on a good rhythm, I find the flow of the album to be just right.

Sometimes, I listen to podcasts too. I like Science Fridays, This Week in Microbiology and This Week in Virology as of lately.

Your turn.
