Top 10 Running Songs

Choosing the top 10 running songs is not an easy task since there are many types of music from different eras that are popular among various age groups. Some people prefer country, while others like to listen jazz or even classical music when they run. Rock songs are ideal for running, since they are loud and can give you a boost of adrenaline. Here are the top 10 running songs some music lovers may want to try when they are out for a run.

1. "Enter Sandman" by Metallica. If this song doesn’t get your blood pumping, few will. You may want to hit the repeat button on your playlist a few times during your run, so you can go a few extra yards.   
2. "Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen. The title alone warrants inclusion in the top 10 running songs list. One thing is for sure, “The Boss” knows running.
3. "Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones. While this song is a bit dated, the beat is hard not to like when you are trying to get a good workout. Try listening to some other music by the Stones when you run.
4. "Bad to the Bone" by George Thorogood & The Destroyers. This timeless song makes the top 10 running songs list, and still holds up well today. The guitar solo is especially good for sprinting at the end of a run.
