Default Training Playlist

Hola friends.

I'm in the midst of training for some 5k's that are occurring this spring, and I'm also doing outdoor track, but this time around I need a little more training to do better than last season. One of the most important thing about training to me is the music I listen to while running.
In the mean time, I also have to train my whole body (all the muscles from deltoids to biceps to pectorals, quadriceps, everything) at the gym, and I want some songs for that playlist.

What I want from you guys is your best workout song, fast-paced heavy-ish songs, that aren't Paramore as I've already crammed my playlist with Paramore. So if you could give me a few of your favorite training songs, that'd be awesome.

To give you a feeling of the music I'm into, here's my playlist so far:

Before I get into the recommendations that might fit your tastes, I want to mention one Pantera song. This song is probably a lot heavier than what you are looking for, but I'm mentioning it anyways because it has one special quality for me: whenever I listen to it, I can't help but move faster than I already am. If I'm walking and I put on this song, I'll find myself walking faster. If I'm already walking quickly and I throw this song on, I'll break into a sprint for no real reason. It just has that effect on me. (And if you don't like it upon first listening, give it time; it took a couple of listens for this song to grow on me.)

On the off chance that you do like that one, I can recommend you some more metal songs that make good workout songs, but if not, here are some other workout songs that I think might work for you.

Not all of these are particularly heavy, but they are high-energy, so yeah. Do with them what you will. xD

I'm a 5k/track runner too, so I think I might actually use some of the songs in this thread, myself
Here's some of the stuff I train to. Good luck with your running

I went into my "workout" folder, sorted by plays, and crossed out anything that came out before 2000. You'll have to decide if they're uptempo enough for you.

"Control" - MuteMath
"Call Me What You Like" - PuffyAmiYumi
"Everything Is Alright" - Motion City Soundtrack
"Miss Cherry Lipgloss" - Single File
"Sun Red Sky Blue" - Kenna
"Don't Stop" - Inner Party System

"The Reeling" - Passion Pit

"Party With Children" - Ratatat
"To Lose My Life" - White Lies

"Don't Move" - Dot Dot Dot

"Man, It's So Loud in Here" - They Might Be Giants
"Zombies Ate My Neighbors" - Single File
"Bohemian Like You" - Dandy Warhols
"Restless Youth" - Air Dubai
"Tell 'Em" - Sleigh Bells
"Somebody Rock Me" - Clash vs Killers
"www.nevergetoveryou" - Prozzak

A lot more from before 2000.

Well, basically just giving out songs for a training playlist is not the way to go around with. Every one has a different taste.

when i work out or go running i like listening to songs that i feel are powerful. Not all the songs i like are like that.

I wont listen to elton john or lily allen when i go running.
Ido listen to Globus-Epicon.

and of course this song
