8tracks: The Thrill of the Chase

Another one of them mixes with mostly jazz tracks. For moderate to fast-paced running.

  • “Secret Meeting”  - The National
  • “Anthem For The Earnest” - The Bad Plus
  • “Flite” - The Cinematic Orchestra
  • “Rose Rouge” - St. Germain (for the groove that feels quite ticklish, teehee)
  • “I’m A Cuckoo” - Belle and Sebastian (reminds me always of the music video with Stuart Murdoch running; yes, quite a literal reference)
  • “Witness (Walworth Road Rockers Dub)” - Roots Manuva
  • “Let Your Conscience Be Your Guidance” - Space Jam
  • “Mistaken For Strangers” - The National

EDIT: Will add more soon! And for the necessary cool-down:

  • “Tokyo” - The Books
  • “Two Moons” - Toe

EDIT: Added some tracks and arranged the order, with seamless transitions and tempo in mind.

  • “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” - U2
  • “Cello Song” - The Books and José González
  • “Moth’s Wings” - Passion Pit
  • “Run Run Run” - Phoenix
  • “Spitting Games” - Snow Patrol
  • “Typical” - Mute Math
  • “Keep The Car Running” - Arcade Fire
  • “Change (Extended Version)” - Tears for Fears
  • “Zero” - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
  • “Sweet Disposition” - The Temper Trap
  • “Modern Drift” - Efterklang
  • “Summer Running” - Marc Johnson with Bill Frisell, Joey Baron, and Pat Metheny
  • “Throw It All Away” - Zero 7 feat. Sia (moved this here for cooling down :)

I’ve had this since late last year but this still is a list-in-progress. I shall have more added soon. Might arrange the tracks according to running tempo, too. Happy running! :)
