My "fight song" is always 3rd after I'm good an warmed up. I have ridiculous songs in the middle (like mile 8 or so) when I need to be amused and distracted. (One favorite for that is "It's Raining Men") I tend to pick up the pace and do a little interval running to a couple of songs early in the playlist- I speed up during the chorus. I guess I sort of programmed myself...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05947255925768851181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227966610593441218.post-65953873182456942742011-07-03T09:19:36.401-07:002011-07-03T09:19:36.401-07:00I love that cake song!

Dead legs are the worst. <br /><br />1. song that's currently stuck in my head - hello by martin solveig (it's so poppy, it's infectious)<br /><br />2. I feel most accomplished if I push myself and feel awesome after, despite going hard.<br /><br />3. I hate training plans, I'm too ADD to stick to one. I'll loosely follow one, but perfer to do my own thing.Meg O @watchmegorunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14578457264702590988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227966610593441218.post-18261265428578764302011-07-03T07:26:51.214-07:002011-07-03T07:26:51.214-07:00Matt- That a good song, I really enjoy it!

And the one on their site or do you have it for the iPhone?<br /><br />Valiant- Since you use it in the same order do you pick up your pace on certain songs? Yay for negative splits! I felt the same way about the novice program, and I didn't want to leave it up to me what type of run so I just decided to go with intermediate :)Brett Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12046757136477093762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227966610593441218.post-89694787170191893442011-07-03T06:23:18.909-07:002011-07-03T06:23:18.909-07:00I have a playlist that I use (no shuffling! exact...I have a playlist that I use (no shuffling! exact same order) every time I run. The song you posted is on it and it usually plays around mile 6. I have a vast mix of music- Prince, Cake, Dramaramas, Eminem, LL Cool J, Johnny Cash and some contemporary Christian artists are all mixed together in there...<br /><br />...most accomplished? Negative splits!<br /><br />I used Hal Higdon's program but I used the novice program. I was torn about moving up to an intermediate program but I just varied my runs (tempo, interval, recovery, etc) instead.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05947255925768851181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227966610593441218.post-39437786009450335182011-07-02T16:02:14.031-07:002011-07-02T16:02:14.031-07:00I like music for my runs...Be Somebody by Kings of...I like music for my runs...Be Somebody by Kings of Leon is in my head...<br /><br />I feel most accomplished when I've kicked the butt of an interval workout...<br /><br />I use the Runner's World SmartCoach training program.HeroFamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950887045513061001noreply@blogger.com
