Good music for distance running

Yeah this kind of stuff is sort of what I had in mind. Background type music that you can zone out to.

I normally just find a couple of long tracks like these from youtube and use one of those sites that converts the video to mp3.

Some of those sites are dying out. One of my favs just announced they wont be allowing any youtube pulls anymore.

I'm training for a marathon and am doing these 8-20 mile runs and am in search of some fresh tunes, the kind that's almost more background type music.

I think stuff with few or no lyrics would be good, but I don't like the kind of techno that sounds like it's audio equipment going bad. Right now I just have various rock and metal type stuff.

My suggestion is something dynamic, cinematic, and upliffting. Real life adventure seekers (long distance runners, everest, extreme hikers/climbers) listen to this guy to enhance the journey. This is NOT techno. It's 19 minutes on the dot and there are a ton of movements.

It's great workout music, all of their tracks go hard too. They call it "brass house", I don't think anyone else even does it.

I have never run a marathon but I run for about 40-50 mins, 3 times per week and the Rocky 4 soundtrack always works for me. The two songs without lyrics, "War" and "Training Montage" are pretty powerful. Peace.

Gonna Fly Now and Going The Distance right at the end of run.. You'll sprint it home.
