Songs About Running

fpuhan · Apr 17, 2016

I work part-time in a running store. I keep thinking it would be nice to have a playlist of songs about running playing. Help a guy out?

Here are some that come to my mind:

I Run For Life - Melissa Etheridge
Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
Running On Empty - Jackson Browne
Little Runaway - Del Shannon
Band on the Run - McCartney & Wings
Nowhere to Run - Martha & the Vandellas
Run For Your Life - The Beatles
Run To You - Bryan Adams
Runnin' Down a Dream - Tom Petty
The Long Run - The Eagles
It Keeps You Runnin' - The Doobie Brothers

It helps if the song is actually easy to run to, but that isn't the key metric.

I call it running around.

Silent Running by Mike and the Mechanics although I do not think " running ", is actually the true meaning of said song.

In track I would pace myself.....

In track I would pace myself by running to the beat with songs running through my head. But they weren't specifically about running, just what had a strong beat at the right tempo.
