Running Military Cadence - The morning run can be tough, but getting through it helps to have a little teamwork, camaraderie, and happy singing about death. Fortunately, military running cadences are available on all your favorite streaming services.

Cadences are call-and-response chants that, for running, line up at about 180 steps per minute. (There are also marching cadences, around 110 beats per minute, but that's not what we're looking for here.) Search Spotify, iTunes, or your music source of choice for "Run to Cadence" or "Workout to the Running Cadences" series of albums. The cadences sound like this:

The cadences are bomb tunes for everyday workouts—"teamwork to make each other suffer," as one runner put it, not meant for sprints or timed runs. The rhythm is great to get used to, and singing loudly helps keep you from running out of breath.

Run To Cadene With The Us Army Airborne Rangers (1998)

This morning I ran another day with the Army Airborne, Marines and Navy Seals, and my only complaint was that the runs were too short - two minutes each. But there are a lot of them on each album, so you won't be left without.

There's also a love it or hate it aspect of thinking about war and dying in the morning. There are endless variations of "If I die in the combat zone / box me up and send me home", and this theme really blends in with the agony of daily training and military life. The Navy Seals sang "Devil, Devil, don't be afraid / 'cause we're living in hell here." Marines sing "It hurts! / Where are you?" then the location of the pain ("In my thigh!" "In my chest!") and order it to be removed.

Songs are usually named after the first line or two you hear, but the content of each song is often a surprise. That's because cadences are usually not independent songs, but put together on the spot by whoever called them that day. There are many "left right left" and "one, two, three, four hey". Mixed in are stories about how the Chief can defeat Superman, or covers of real songs (like Gordon Lightfoot's In the Early Morning Rain, and I swear I heard a bit of Joan Jett in one of the army songs).

Some songs amuse you and others motivate you. Try adding this to your workout list and see if you don't end your run with a smile:
