Runspiration: the Southern rock in your step

For most people, rap and techno are the primary genres that come to mind when populating a running playlist. But nothing keeps my motor running better than a long, loud, lovely guitar solo.

On this most beautiful of spring afternoons, consider fueling your run instead with these solo-heavy songs, brought to you by none other than the one and only epic, unmatchable Allman Brothers Band.

Runspiration: the seven-mile Jack White edition

I am pretty far from being a White Stripes fan; I find Jack White, while talented, wildly overrated. (Especially by the leagues of idiots who irreverently compare him to Jimmy Page. What is wrong with you people?)

All that aside, this song is one of the best running songs ever, ever, ever. It reignited my juices for the last two miles of my run today, which a wise man once said are always the toughest no matter how much distance you're laying down. Rock out, flail your arms and fly.
