I just started working on my LA Marathon playlist (it takes a while longer than I thought it would to do a 5+ hour playlist) which made my mind wander to how few celebrities who live in LA are actually going to be running the LA Marathon. I mean really, only Shia LeBouf? What’s going on with the West Coast celebrities?! The NYC marathon got Ed Norton and Katie Holmes for crying out loud…

It was also recently announced that former drummer for Oasis,  Alan White, will be running the London marathon this year for charity. The website, Music and motivation (an AudioFuel site) has a really cool and in the works page for celebrity running playlists for stars who are running the London marathon. Music and motivation isn’t the only site that features celebrity running playlists. Here some cool ones I’ve found online that with music I’m actually likely to poach from:

Ed Norton’s NYC Marathon Running Playlist – features classic rock, Radiohead, indie (good stuff)

Alanis Morisette’s Running Playlist – featuring Imogen Heap, Thievery Corporation… and Alanis Morisette.

Madonna’s Running Playlist – Tiesto, Oakenfold and David Guetta (anything you can run with glowsticks to).

This is my group playlist for the LA Marathon (officially open to suggestions)

I’ll be sure to post my final playlist the week of the marathon. (Spoiler alert: all songs mentioned in previous posts are highly likely to be on the list.)
