Get somone to put a speaker on the end of a fishing rod and chase you down the road with one of oakie's latest hits blaring out. And as you say it need not be oakie. Ian van dahl is another choice selection. Possibly judge jules in the mix, or the man himself, Dave Pearce

God, that would keep me running for ever

Workout music? Get a "Best of Dance 2004" or something similar. Eric Prydz would also do nicely

For essential mixes. The Halliwell link (page 11 or 12 I think) is still live. Plus the Eric Prydz Essential mix is there as well.

Remember ..... Dance music is for life, not just for jogging!

Eddie Halliwell, eeerrr I dunno! He's a good DJ technically, which gets him some respect, but he plays muck...

But you dont care about that, you are, after all, a novice.

Nah seriously, get some non-cheesy popular dance. Chemical bros, some of mylo's stuff (thats touch and go, though), groove armada, Basement Jaxx. Downlaod the uptempo stuff. You cant go wrong.

If I met you and found out you were listening to oakenfold or Euphoria stuff I'd laugh at you, and take the piss for a day or two. Thats just me, sorry!

With the ones I suggested above, you cant go wrong. See dude, now your cool!!

Any of the Thunderdome albums should do the trick.
Eddie Halliwell IS a technically gifted DJ. The tunes he plays in that Essential Mix are fairly decent. He played in the Forum, Waterford, a few weeks back and he played a cracker of a set. Ah well, we all have opinions. :rolleyes:

Running with dance music is a bad idea as it tends to allign your stride to the kick drum which means you train at a fixed speed and have difficulty in varying it.

Some more free flowing msuic like jungle wont do this

Personnally I'd go with some bangin' gabba.

The voices tell me that gabba is good for the soul. Dirty Dirty Gabba!!!!!

Alternatively listen to some Charlotte Church or Steps, you'll run faster just to get home and rip of those earphones!!!

Just got this last week, really good but would wonder if its a bit of a jump from not listening to dance to full on in yer face bangin'

In defence of Paul Oakenfold, A Voyage into trance was a great mix.

Dated here as being 2001 but it was originally out in about '95 which is evident from the track listing.
