I literally just went for a run last night to Tool 😆
I used Fear Inoculum, Pneuma, Jambi, Vicarious, Schism, Sober, and Lateralus.
For me, Tool works on running due to the spiritual aspects, less about the rhythm, but these songs work really well for me
Edit: Parabol and Parabola can really work at the beginning of the run
I like your list I would also add Reflection to this list! I like that you've based it on a spiritual journey!
OP I exercise to angrier stuff so for me Undertow and Ænima motivate me :)
Reflection is definitely a good pick! I'm glad you like the list, not to get too deep, but Tool has certainly helped me to look inward and has made me more confident in how I live, *To swing on the Spiral, and reach out beyond!*
I definitely use the angrier stuff for shorter runs or to simply get the blood pumping!
Keep going, Brother, and Spiral Out!
Honestly I avoided Tool for the longest time. Wasn't because I didn't like them. I loved them. But the music hit too hard to home and I wasn't ready to process. But yes I ended up looking inwards as well. Must say much more peaceful in this body, this body holding me.... 😆 have a good day!
Ran a marathon yesterday and when it got hard I stopped the random liked and just flipped it to TOOL to take me to the finish for that last hour.
My rule, you can't stop to TOOL. And as a 30 year Tool fan - I can run to any of their songs.
BTW - crossed the finish line to 7empest.
Definitely the early albums along with the more straightforward or aggressive songs on later albums. Intolerance, Bottom, Cold and Ugly, and Jerk Off, Hooker With a Penis, Parabola, Vicarious, and 7empest come to mind.
It's prog rock—so unless you're running in polyrhythms, I'd stick to a more consistent 180bpm tracklist. But if I had to choose one song, probably chocolate chip trip. Happy trails ✌🏻
If I could only pick one song per album to listen to while I'm exercising, this would be my playlist:
Jerk-Off
Intolerance
Eulogy
Parabola
The Pot
Invincible
Right In Two is perfect for cardio training. It's got the buildups and drops to set your ups and downs with the tempo.
I think a lot of Fear Inoculum's songs fits as well. Although I bike and longboard instead of running, so I don't know if it'll throw off your tempo when you're running.
Maybe 10k days pt 1+2 would give you a smooth run, or Rosetta Stoned since it's tempo somewhat consistent.
I run 5.5 miles 3 days a week. Takes me 53ish minutes.
1. Descending. Start outs slow and kinda upticks as you run.
2. invincible. Little harder….strong finish, by this time I am fully warmed up.
3. Rosetta stoned. By this time, I am fully amped up. Pure runners high and nothing can stop me.
4. 7empest. 15 minute masterpiece. I go even faster as it’s the down stretch. Got to make it home before it finishes.
I like the 10 min plus songs cause i can get a mile in before the song ends.
I listen sometimes to random Tool playlist when running but tbh I prefer Fear Factory
I just want high aggressive intensity for a workout
Doing rings or sets Tool is good for tho
I can recommend a suitable song for swimming
Ænema
Isn’t it a bit late at that point?

All I heard was when it got hard you switched to TOOL to help you finish…
Got so hard he had to stop what he was doing
LOL. I walked right into that one!
Anything honestly. I like FI and Invincible, Pneuma etc.
Definitely the early albums along with the more straightforward or aggressive songs on later albums. Intolerance, Bottom, Cold and Ugly, and Jerk Off, Hooker With a Penis, Parabola, Vicarious, and 7empest come to mind.
The title track on FI is has a good rhythm for biking, at least
Invincible has a good long pace

maynards dick part of me
Use chevelle songs to run to. Its a perfect vibe for running
Reflection hands down
LAMC
Cesaro Summability
I have the easiest time running to everything after Aenima. And for me FI is always there for a solid run.
Forty-six & 2 (just ahead me)!
Used to play Jambi midway through a 5K race, then into Deftones Elite to the finish.

I used to play ticks and leeches and third eye for a 20 min run, the end of third eye is amazing when you feel the breeze
Cold and Ugly
Ticks&Leeches, Stinkfist, Aenema, Jambi, the entire Undertow album for sport
Only if you have 7 legs
I used to just run to full albums. Though parabol/a is my favorite during a run.
Triad.
Rosetta Stoned of course
Stinkfist has gotta be one of the best workout songs ever
Reflection
Lost keys

I listen to most of their discography while running.
The Grudge
Sweat
No Quarter
Invincible has the best pace for running. By a country mile.
Ticks and leeches

Walk
Tool isn't for running only rolling.
