Comment:

It was the decade when the fitness craze really hit its stride, so it only makes sense that the '80s would offer up so many songs so perfectly paced for running. Whether you're up for a miles-long marathon or a fast dash, we've got the sounds to send you on your way — from Michael Jackson's dance-pop monster "Thriller" to the heart-pounding allure of Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" to the inspiring one-two punch of "Eye of the Tiger." As for the mesh shirt and neon spandex running pants, well, we're gonna leave that up to you.
