Regular  1357    Jenison, MI |  Subject: Your "kick it in" songI haven't been using this tactic in a while, but I used to have one certain song I'd play on a run when I was either drained and needed something to keep going, or when I wanted to finish the last few minutes strong. (And yes, I train with my earphones, but lets not get into that discussion! My song was always (don't laugh) "Whiskey In The Jar" by Metallica. Obviously the pacing helps a little, and I just always loved it. I'd be curious to know what songs others go to for their inspiration? Might be nice to put together a whole playlist of these for future motivation! |

Veteran 348 Houston, TX | Subject: RE: Your "kick it in" song Yup. It is a techno song by Italian DJ Mauro Picotto. Dolphin (Picotto Mix) - DJ Gee (start listening at about 3:30 and give it 2.5 minutes - my version is cropped)
There are a few others on my MP3 player which are also very good: Magic Flight- Mauro Picotto (it starts hitting it at 1:15, has a slow part and then is awesome from 3:30) Believe - Franka Potente (from the "Run Lola Run" soundtrack) I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas
P.S. There is a similar thread floating around on Cup 'O Joe |

Was a teen in the 80s. That wrestled and boxed. And am a short-statured Italian-American. maybe not too surprising these songs pump me up. Edited by 22gm22 2013-02-20 11:25 PM |

Extreme Veteran 890 Sterling | Subject: RE: Your "kick it in" song Late last summer it was Maroon 5's One More Night. Here lately it has been Kanye West's Power. Although I just heard the new Fall Out Boy song and it's got a great fast beat to it. I still love some Mettalica thrown in there every now and then. |

| 11 | Subject: RE: Your "kick it in" song Pretty much anything zac brown band. And I know it sounds crazy, but Willie nelsons city of new Orleans gets my feet moving to about a 4:55 mile pace on the run. Aside from that, any hard hitting upbeat music from the 80s and 90s works well for me. |

Veteran 348 Cincinnati | Subject: RE: Your "kick it in" song Eminem: Unitl I collapse For some reason this song gets me going. I have this set as my alarm for early morning swims or runs. Even better is the Ironman motivational video that accompanies the song. |

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Your "kick it in" song The theme song from Chariots of Fire. I have it on my MP3 but rarely run with it; use it only when I have to run on a treadmill and sometimes listen to it before the start of a race. There actually was a band playing it when I finished my first marathon--without that music I probably would have just curled up at the side of the road and gone to sleep. (Yes, it was a pretty serious case of undertraining/ bonking/hitting the wall. Chalk it up to being fourteen and clueless.) Even now it brings back memories of that "sprint" to the finish of what I still consider my hardest race! There are also two songs by one of my favorite Hawaiian groups (Hapa) that I listen to really loud when I'm tired on brick runs or trainer rides. Very upbeat and always makes me think of my favorite runs in Honolulu, not whatever boring place I happen to be in reality. |
