Or, at least my workout world, that is.\u00a0 If my mp3 player dies, I have 2 other backups.\u00a0 If they are all missing\/dead, I will refuse to do cardio.\u00a0 I just cannot get on with a run or anything like that without music.\u00a0 TV, beautiful nature sounds – can’t do it.\u00a0 I can do weights although I don’t particularly like it, but seeing that I can run through a hangover, a cold, a headache, or just about any other ailment, you can see how important having something to listen to is to me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, I figured a fun Friday post would be sharing some of my various playlists for speedwork and what I’m doing during that time.\u00a0 Please note – due to our PS3 dying and eating all of our music that wasn’t stored anywhere else, I’m operating on music I had at work or on my lappy – which is between 2 to 10 years old.\u00a0 I plan someday to get the unlimited Zune pass thingee where I can download anything I want for 15 bucks a month – but in these tough economic times (drink) I have to have my priorities.\u00a0 Like cigarettes and alcohol.\u00a0 And cute clothes.\u00a0 And toys for running like my stopwatch.\u00a0 Anywhooo, here it is.\u00a0 I hope to see some playlists in the comments, or at least what you like to do to keep your mind amused while working out!<\/p>\n

Interval Workout (walk, then jog to the track, do 6×400 sprint laps with a jog lap in between each one, jog then walk home):<\/strong><\/p>\n

Banditos – Refreshments (walk)<\/p>\n

Cowboy – Kid Rock (jog and hopefully get to the track in time)<\/p>\n

Vivaldi Remix – Digital Espionage (first sprint)<\/p>\n

My Way – Limp Biscuit (first jog – skip to next song when the lap is done)<\/p>\n

We Will Rock You – Queen (second sprint – no race day\/hard run playlist should be without this)<\/p>\n

We Are The Champions – Queen (second jog – skip to next song when the lap is done)<\/p>\n

Hollaback Girl – Gwen Stefani (third sprint – say what you want about this song, I hate it too, but the beat ROCKS to run to)<\/p>\n

The Show Must Go On – Moulin Rouge (third jog – skip to next song when lap is done)<\/p>\n

Rent – Rent (fourth sprint)<\/p>\n

What You Own – Rent (fourth jog – skip to next song when lap is done)<\/p>\n

Encore – Curtains Down – Eminem (fifth sprint)<\/p>\n

No Diggety – Blackstreet (fifth jog)<\/p>\n

Born For This – Paramore (sixth sprint)<\/p>\n

The Boys Are Back In Town – Thin Lizzy (sixth jog)<\/p>\n

Carnival – Natalie Merchant (jog partway home)<\/p>\n

Thank You – Tori Amos (walk home)<\/p>\n

Tempo\/5k playlist:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lift Me Up – Moby (warmup walk if not a race)<\/p>\n

Control – Poe (jog if not a race)<\/p>\n

The Bad Touch – Bloodhound Gang (start tempo run)<\/p>\n

Fett’s Vette – MC Chris<\/p>\n

Hollaback Girl – Gwen Stefani (see – hate the song, but it makes me run HARD)<\/p>\n

‘Til I Collapse – Eminem<\/p>\n

Ladykillers – Lush (great beat to this one)<\/p>\n

Killing in the Name – Rage Against the Machine (harnessing the anger around this time makes me less tired)<\/p>\n

Breathe – Prodigy (cooldown jog for tempo, 5k should end during the last song)<\/p>\n

Smile – Lily Allen (walk cooldown)<\/p>\n

Now, I’m off to make a super uber awesome playlist for my 10k tomorrow.\u00a0 What’s on your playlist?\u00a0 Who wants to mock me for the fact that Hollaback Girl appeared one not ONE but BOTH of my playlists?\u00a0 Hit me up…<\/p>\n
