Start with a Nano and this little device. You don't have to buy a special Nike shoe for this thing to work nor do you have to buy some stupid little "sleek pouch." Mine's just taped to the tongue of the shoe under the laces.

Buy a Nano and chuck your cassette walkman the trash. The days of Dolby Noise Reduction are gone; it's time to move on.

Chariots of Fire. Yes, the best warm-up song ever. As you get the blood pumping, put a whistful look in your eyes as you dream of the incalculable glory you are about to attain on this epic run.
Get on the Good FootGet on the Good Foot by James Brown
Buy used from: $24.00
Get on the Good Foot. Do I have to say more? Do you doubt this selection? Look at the cover, you idiot. If you had a tenth of the soul the Godfatha has in his pinky toe, you'd be running from Marathon to Athens in about 10 seconds flat.

Keep on Running. It reminds you that you should probably, well, Keep on Running.

What training session or montage would be complete without this? If this doesn't pump you up, you are obviously having severe problems with life. This is a safe bet for your Nike+iPod "Power Song."

Stop Breakin' Down - in case you're think of quitting already.
Mothership ConnectionMothership Connection by Parliament
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $7.00
Swing Down, Sweet Chariot, and let me ride! I think a little psychedelic funk is fitting on a long run. Prior to running from Marathon to Athens, Pheidippides claimed he saw and talked to a goat-man on his 150 mile trip from Athens to Sparta. For Christ's sake, try to stay hydrated, buddy!

Flash! Aaaahhaaaa! There's enough glory here to bring out the speed demon in a dead tortoise.
Trouble ManTrouble Man

"T" Plays it Cool - if you can't find a rhythm to roll to here, you're a sick, sorry, soulless S.O.B. Pretend it's a chase scene in which you, the pimp, must track down yo' money and, of course, stick it to the man.

Movin' On: "Movin' on, baby, my feet are never touchin' the ground." Cheesey, but effective.

Midnight Mover: for those late-night runners, keep moving!
The WarriorsThe Warriors
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $4.96
Roll with "Theme from the Warriors" or "Baseball Furies Chase." The Warriors pretty much run from Queens to California in this movie. If you can keep up with them, you're on the right track. Watch for baseball bat toting clowns, however.

For when you think you're dying in the last mile . . .. Stayin' Alive: "You can tell by the way I use my walk, I'm a woman's man, no time to talk."
