Great hard rock running album. the pace of the songs seems to match exactly what you need as well.

Also, 'You Are a Runner and I am My fathers Son" By Wolf Parade. BAM! Beat that appropriateness, everyone.

"Life During Wartime" - Talking Heads (preferably the live version on Stop Making Sense)

Y'all are too literal.

The Go! Team's <i>Thunder, Lightning, Strike</i> makes for a good running album.

"The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" - Iron Maiden

soundtrack to Rocky IV

I actually have a Rocky playlist I used to run to that always kept me going (hard to slow down when listening to Rocky).
Eye Of The Tiger
Gonna Fly Now (Main Theme)
Robert Tepper - No Easy Way Out

I personally like LCD Soundsystem, specifically Sound of Silver, to run to.

CCR - Run Through the Jungle

Rage Against the Machine

wolf parade - you are a runner, and i am my father's son.
the pillows - runners high.
sea wolf - middle distance runner.
belle and sebastian - the loneliness of a middle distance runner.
kate bush - running up that hill.
bruce springsteen - born to run.
m83 - run into flowers.
menomena - running.
the pharcyde - runnin'.
the velvet underground - run run run.

Arctic Monkey's

"It Keeps You Running" by either The Doobie Brothers or Carly Simon ( they do play backup on her version BTW )

underworld - "born slippy"

Throw some Rob Zombie on there for him.

The soundtrack to "Run Lola Run".

What get's me moving is- Megadeth-From the Countdown to Extinction cd
Sweating Bullets & High Speed Dirt+ Skin of My Teeth

Live to win
push it to the limit

An odd assortment of upbeat tunes:

"Stay With Me" Faces/Rod Stewart
"Start Me Up" Rolling Stones
"But It's All Right" J.J. Jackson
"Seven Nation Army" White Stripes
"Take Me Out" Franz Ferdinand
"You Really Got Me" The Kinks
"Misty Mountain Hop" Led Zeppelin
"I Was Made To Love Her" Stevie Wonder
"Baby, Come Back" The Equals
"Apple, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie" Jay & the Techniques

The Misfits

It's kind of hard to make a running mix for someone else. For me, it's just a bunch of songs that I really like. Doesn't really matter the tempo.
