9. "Barracuda" - Heart. Perhaps it's cliche, but how can you not get pumped up just by listening to the opening riffs of "Barracuda"? Just be sure not to sing along and no one even has to know.
10. "Remember The Name" - Fort Minor. This steady chime and electric lyrics allow you to put a little attitude into your workout. Listen to it pre-run for some motivation and during the run to keep you inspired.
