RE: t-and-f: Top 10 list: What's your best running song ever?
There was one summer when Eye of the Tiger was the nly thing that could get me out of the door. It was hot and humid and I really didn't feel like going out to run after a day at my first full time job. Turn on the song and suddenly I was transformed into motivation-man! -drew -- Andrew Eldredge-Martin RD 2 Box 359 Ulster, PA 18850 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 570-265-6406 On Sat, 18 Aug 2001, Hanks, Jeffrey S wrote: How about Survivor's Eye of the Tiger -- I know it was also Rocky's theme song, but it always gets me up for running and keeps me going.

Yes, Where the streets have no name, great song to play at 5am while stumbling around in a hypnogogic daze in search of your running gear. Another great running song: I Run Alone (apologies to George Thorogood) I run alone, yeah, with nobody else I run alone, yeah, with nobody else You know when I run alone, I prefer to run by myself Every morning just before breakfast, I don't want no coffee or tea Just me and my good buddy roads, that's all I ever need 'Cause I run alone, yeah, with nobody else Yeah, you know when I run alone, I prefer to run by myself The other night I laid sleeping, and I woke from a terrible dream I dreampt my coach was Jack Daniels, and his partner Jeff Galloway And we ran alone, yeah, with nobody else Yeah, you know when I run alone, I prefer to run by myself The other day I got invited to a race, but I stayed home ran hills instead, Just me and my pal Mr Fartlek, and we ran hard until we were dead, And we ran alone, yeah, with nobody else Yeah, you know when I run alone, I prefer to run by myself I train hard and I win easy, and it makes me feel oh so good The only ones who keep up with me, are skinny Kenyans if they could And we run alone, yeah, with nobody else Yeah, you know why I run alone?

IMHO, that is the best intro to the best song of the best rock album by the best group ever made, period. It transcends running but if you insist, the lyrics go on to say: I wanna run, I want to hide I wanna tear down the walls That hold me inside. I wanna reach out And touch the flame Where the streets have no name Several running references. You have to touch the flame once in a while, for example, if you want to excel.

U2: Where the streets have no name We did a running video to this tune at a camp I once worked as a counselor. We had the campers running from the other side of the hill (racing actually) - a very long lens shot, heat waves, etc. The song opens with a very rythmic instrumental and as the runners crested the hill the lyrics began, I want to run... Very cool :-) Cheers, Buck
Re: t-and-f: Top 10 list: What's your best running song ever?
Of course there is always The Lonliness of the Middle-Distance Runner by Belle and Sebastian. They played the sonf live for a long time, but never released it until there most recent single Jonathan David on which it is a B-side. -drew -- Andrew Eldredge-Martin RD 2 Box 359 Ulster, PA 18850 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 570-265-6406 On Fri, 17 Aug 2001, Kevin Galbraith wrote: Hey Track List Pals: The Jennings as Hopper-Apocalypse Now thread has started me thinking about other things peripheral to running. Have you ever gone out for a run and gotten a song stuck in your head? I find that some songs lend themselves better than others to making it through a long run on a day when you would just as soon stay home and de-frost the freezer. I'd like to nominate Run Like Hell by Pink Floyd from the album The Wall as one of the best running songs ever. What do you all think. Kevin Galbraith Assistant Track Coach Long Beach State

Re: t-and-f: World 10k bests and rabbits
Of course, there is always a question of what actually constitutes a rabbit. Is someone a rabbit if they lead a marathon out through the first half? What if they are just trying to keep the pace fast for themselves? Many rabbits finish the races they start, so are they rabbits or are they trying to ru a fast time themselves thinking that they will fare better in a fast race as opposed to a kickers race. You could specify that no money can exchange hands for the rabbiting, but many of the races I have actually seen rabbited were done without monetary compensation... tricky subject. -drew On Thu, 7 Jun 2001, alan tobin wrote: Interesting. How long have rabbits been used on a consistant basis? Any guess what the record would be without rabbits? How about 5k? Would the 5k record be under 12:50 without rabbits? How about the marathon? If the record makers had to set the pace themselves what would the distance records be? Something to think about.
