Running music for longer stretches

I missed this thread on its first time round, and would like to start by congratulating Lilja on her running abilities. As bob seems to have abandoned us, She must surely take the crown as best MB runner, no?

As for your request, Lilja, the Allman Brothers have lots of long, upbeat instrumentals which I imagine might be suitable - or maybe some good old motorik stuff: Make your body a machine, Lilja!

I don't know what Lilja means by running music but Krautrock in general is known for its long tracks. This has vocals but it might be my favorite of the genre

^ Yes that's a nice track, especially the bit at the end when the saxophone comes in.

In case Lilja doesn't know the Allman's stuff, here's Jessica, which in Britain was chosen as the theme music for a weekly program about motoring, so it's the same thing really. Driving/running: no significant difference afaik.

( I think I have an idea of the kind of music she's enquiring about. I suspect it's the music that, copying a Soft Machine title, I think of as Slightly all The Time. But without an example I have no idea what 170 bpm sounds like.)

If I explained it it would ruin the magic.

9 minute mile is nice but could i do it for more than 10 miles without my muscles freezing up...

ima start training and find out

Congradulations on the running! Just go at a pace you feel comfortable at. Increase your pace over time when you can comfortably run a specific length over time (such as if you are going to imrove your 10k pace there is no point if you have only run it 2-3 times). Bit if there is no need to go faster..than don't. Just enjoy the fact that you are running.

Personally, I have noticed that as long as I run a specific pace at least 3k, I can continue it way past 10k. It all comes down to will. Muscles don't play a factor for me until the 20s even if I think they do at times

These are all great music selctions. Thank you! 170 bpm is about the pace of "Mr Blue Sky" or "American Idiot". I listen to all sorts of music when I train (not for actual races. Then no music at all!) but I prefer music that has 170 bpm-180 with a strong beat.

Here are three favorites atm:
