So...I tend to be left to my own devices...the shuffle is the perfect tool for this...I don't own any techno, but I tend to fill the playlist w/ varied tempos and moods, which turns a run into a sort of circuit workout...I vary occordingly.
Nine Inch Nails works
the Arcade Fire
U2
Wilco
Kathleen Edwards
King Crimson
Genesis(w/Peter Gabriel) esp the Lamb Lies down...
Sugar...or Husker Du, or just Bob Mould
Modest Mouse
Suzanne Vega
Johnny Cash
Some songs that work very well, and tend to unleash an emotional response as well as an increase in workload and pace...etc...
'One Tree Hill' from The Joshua Tree
'JC Auto' from Beaster
'Wake Up' From Funeral
'Black Cadillacs' from Good News for People who like Bad News
99.9F by Suzanne Vega
'Idiot Wind' by Bob Dylan...blood on the tracks
I don't understand the concept of the constant 'one the one' house beat....it tends to annoy me to no end after just a minute....I tend to think that from the Gym perspective, they are simply trying to get people in and out as fast as possible....I hate treadmills, I hate gyms, I hate techno, so...for me, I equate my sunday run as my Church, and for me to go to a gym is akin to attending a Mega/non-denominational/watered down religious social gathering, rather than going to Mass.
