Music to train to

shedhead

Hi all,

Very random question possibly, maybe, who knows,.... Does anyone know where / suggest I can download a definitive shedload of "upbeat" music all in one hit, to whack on my phone to use on the wattbike ? without writing down all the tracks I can think of & downloading separately ?

I am be a tightarse but I don't want to pay for any of these, 46 yrs old so that may give you a clue what i'm into... music that is ! clash, u2 etc.

Cheers in advance

I also use itunes and make up my own playlists to stick on my ipod :-)

Recent thread on Pro Race may have some links you can try, suggestions for the Hour Record attempt. See here:

go to Spotify and look at a few bands you like, then look at the "similar" bands that they suggest. Search the playlists on Spotify etc...

So, you want a shedload of free music, and you want someone to give you a source and playlist? Lazy AND a tightarse! Do you want someone to ride the bike for you too???

I suggest having a look on iTunes - they've got loads of workout/running/exercise mixes ready made. If you really don't want to pay, at least you'll have some idea of what to illegally download.

I found one track completely by accident whist on random play.
If you are looking for a track to start off slightly up beat and then ramp up to a full on sprint then try Queen of the New Year by Deacon Blue.
It took me completely by surprise.

A running buddy put me onto using Slayer's Reign In Blood as a training soundtrack. It's stupidly fast and aggressive, mostly in 4:4 and 45 minutes long. Apparently "Run In Blood", running as far as one can during the album's run time is A Thing.

It works well for high tempo riding. Not so much for intervals.

Easy enough to find some pounding techno on sound cloud.

(only really works if it's loud enough to make your ears bleed)

No wonder amphetemines were so popular during the rave/techno scene
