Jay-Z v's Linkin Park, Collision Couse.
I do the whole album with the following rule:
Jay-Z rapping = high resistance, standing hill
Linkin Park singing = low resistance, seated sprints.
about 6-8 changovers per song at different intervals.
running: anything by faithless.
But I just can't do it - the listening to music thing. Even the TV on in the gym bugs me.
The idea of trying to run or cycle out in the real world with your ears full of something just gives me the heebie-jeebies.
So: I listen to my own pain, my heart pounding; on easy sessions I think about form and strategy (i.e. I day-dream about being an olympic champion: well, if Jennie Longo can do the olympic time trial at 49; when I will only be 48 on 2012...).
i love that album.
99 problems.....
For ergo, bike interval and treadmill sets in the gym it is Guns 'n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction, followed by a compilation album called 'Supercharged' (Limpo Bizkit, Linkin Park, Nickelback etc etc). Harsh sounding loud nasty stuff works best for me.
When I'm out on the bike.... well, sorry <strong opinion warning>, but you're a complete cock if you wear earphones on your bike if you are cycling anywhere but your own private estate.
Running... I'd love to, but my run circuits usually involve me crossing a lot of roads. If I had music on then I'd have to stop and have a really good look around. Anyway, even away from roads don't people want to hear the horse that is galloping up behind them, or the farmer shouting "Get orf moii laaaand!!"?.
I think we're all gravitating towards loud rock?
More usefully, has anybody tried any of the iTunes add in stuff that can go through your music library to analyse the beats-per-minute for each song? You can then, apparently, create playlists that are all at a useful tempo for your particular workout. Sounds good.
If you think cycling with your ipod on is mad, the girl that sits next to me at work said the other day "when I've got my ipod on in the car" !!!
Then again when you have the window rattlers with their car full of more speakers than I have in my house...which is worse?

Awesome.
Running playlist also includes the theme from Rocky (originally seventies though), 'Danger Zone' by Kenny Loggins, 'Footloose', 'Boys Of Summer' man I love all that s##t.
Do get some funny lucks when I crank up the volume though [&:]
David.
It's such a sweet song for a push hill climb on the spin bike, and I also enjoy it on the run.
Can't cycle outside with anything in my ears................it's dangerous. But running without music is still a bit weird. Gonna have to get used to it again though![image]http://forum.220magazine.com/micons/m14.gif[/image]
I am a big music when running man but I dont run on raods so I am safe from traffic on big open pavements. I think Bopmo said organ doners do it on the roads with music.
I am also into the 80's thing but sometimes a bit of areosmith and some fatboy slim with a mix of chemical brothers does the trick.
check it out.
Thought Treefrog might have just retyped his letter to Cycling weekly
Very eclectic mix.
Rainbow,Pat Benater,Lou Reed,Velvet Underground,The Damned.
It depends on the route,weather,time.
Rocky soundtrack, British fanatzia anthems, redman, johnny cash - hurt (keeps you goin when in pain) joy division, oasis, doves and timbaland... I like a random mix
pretty sums my training mentality at the moment.
