13 items

127 Hours: Music from the Motion Picture
127 Hours: Music from the Motion Picture (Music CD - 2010)

Annotation:Setting your stride: when I first saw this movie I spent half my time on my iPad looking up soundtrack tunes. 'Never Hear Surf Music Again' and 'Lovely Day' are two great tracks from this otherwise gruesome film.

Icon
Icon By Cash, Johnny (Music CD - 2010)

Annotation:Setting Your Stride: 'Get Rhythm' is a great tune for hitting your stride, so flip to this pick when you're looking for that race pace.

James Brown [CD]
James Brown [CD] By Brown, James (Music CD - 2010)

Annotation:Setting Your Stride: funk... what more is there to say? Get on up! Get into it!

Confessions
Confessions By Madonna, 1958- (Music CD - 2005)

Annotation:Picking up the Pace: 'Jump,' 'Hung Up,' and 'I'm Sorry' are perpetual favorites--great beats for speed work.

Frosh 3
Frosh 3 (Music CD - 2000)

Annotation:Picking up the Pace: from Young MC and Tone Loc to Simon & Garfunkel and ABBA... What's not to love?

4x4 = 12
4x4 = 12 By Deadmau5, 1981- (Music CD - 2010)

Annotation:Picking up the Pace: the song 'Ghosts and Stuff' got me sucked into Deadmau5 and I love this album just as much as the last. You don't have to be into electronica to find their mixes ear catching and foot stomping.

This Is Happening
This Is Happening By LCD Soundsystem (Musical group) (Music CD - 2010)

Annotation:Mid-Run Slump: LCD produce a lot of different sounds with a catchy foot-taping pace. 'Home' is my favorite of their tunes.

Elvis 30 #1 Hits
Elvis 30 #1 Hits By Presley, Elvis, 1935-1977. (Music CD - 2002)

Annotation:Mid-Run Slump: I know, I know... You don't necessarily think "Elvis" when you think of marathon running, but 'Blue Suede Shoes', 'Little Sister' and 'Bosa Nova Baby' are fun, quick hits.

Talk That Talk
Talk That Talk By Rihanna, 1988- (Music CD - 2011)

Annotation:Mid-Run Slump: 'We found love (feat. Calvin Harris)' is my new go-to pick-me-up when I'm feeling drained and ready to quit!

Buddha-Bar VI
Buddha-Bar VI (Music CD - 2004)

Annotation:Strong and Steady: get into a positive space with these smooth, relaxing, trance-like tracks. 'Breath' by Telepopmusik is a particular favorite.

Now!
Now! 1970's (Music CD - 2009)

Annotation:Strong and Steady: keep your head in the game by focusing on these familiar tunes and not your sore feet!--everything from Bowie's 'Golden Years' to 'You Sexy Thing' by Hot Chocolate.

Sigh No More
Sigh No More By Mumford & Sons (Musical group) (Music CD - 2010)

Annotation:Strong and Steady: a great band, with a lot of songs that start off slow and have you rockin' hard by the end. The only problem? You'll probably wind up singing along! As long as you're okay with a few sideways glances...
