I want to start the couch to 5k running programme as it’s been so long since I’ve ran and I’d like to get back into it.
I’m starting Monday so compiling a playlist at the moment. Does anyone have any song recommendations? I’m looking for motivational, suitably paced music to run to.

Can you give us some genre guidelines? I know some people who run to heavy metal, punk rock, pop music, etc.
@nikipedia Apologies. I should have mentioned that I like most genres, aside from hard core heavy metal or hard core dance. Otherwise, anything goes
Pop recommendations: Lady Gaga, especially Just Dance; Ke$ha, especially Your Love is my Drug; Scissor Sisters, I Don’t Feel Like Dancing
Alternative: Passion Pit, Sleepyhead
Non-hardcore dance: Daft Punk, there’s a live remix of Around the World and Harder Better Faster Stronger that really does it for me
The Crystal Method made a whole album called Drive that is very encouraging and uplifting for working out (and the first and last songs are entitled “Starting Line” and “Finish Line”!).
I culled this bunch from my cardio playlist. To save us all time I made a playlist on youtube so you can skip through as it strikes your fancy. If it strikes your fancy.
These are the song on the playlist:

You Don’t Want to Fuck with Me – Andrew Jackson Jihad
