Prodigy – Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned is very good running music

This is a simple blog. No frills. I just wanted to share my opinion with the world that Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned by the Prodigy is superb selection of tracks to run to. With relentless heavy pounding beats throughout the entire album and imposing male vocals coupled with airy female melodies there is no point when the mood drops.  Which is totally what you need when running!  I normally listen to ambient electronica with the soft thump of a house beat and some delicate keys but that genre often drops into thoughtful, calm floaty moments which really doesn't inspire you to push through the painful bits.

There's a lamppost on my regular running route that taunts me. I first stopped there for a breather a few runs ago and have done every run since. But today as track 5 kicked in to replace the minuscule gap of silence since the previous I was pushed to keep going all the way home.  I past the lamppost pretending I hadn't seen it like an ex girlfriend in a nightclub.  For a moment I thought about her and had trouble forgetting, but my cardio induced teflon-brain soon saw to it.  Thoughts come and go like rain drops on a windscreen when you run, part of the reason I enjoy it.

Ladies and gentlemen I present to you the grotesquely anti social Hot Ride by The Prodigy...
