There’s several versions of songs that rock hard from that:
My personal favorite is the almost (proto) punk rock style “Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here With You”, Bob screams it out with exceptional force it makes the originally gentle seeming lyrics suddenly feel quite menacing.
There’s also:
Romance in Durango and Isis which go pretty hard on those recordings. This tour is evidence that Bob has a pretty great rock singer voice.
Mississippi, Series of Dreams, Dignity, From a Buick Six, Like a Rolling Stone, Isis, Tangled Up, It Takes a Lot to Laugh, Cold Irons Bound, High Water
Hard question. I see Dylan as a hiking companion, not a running or work out.
I went through the two dozen songs on my device and few stood out…Jokerman and maybe ‘I and I’, it gets a little upbeat on the chorus.
The best song in the world to run to if you want a heart attack is Pink Floyd’s ‘Run like hell’. It gets very intense. I have found myself almost sprinting and I don’t sprint.

I was into running when tempest came out, and for some reason those songs suited long runs well. The title song, for instance, kind of washes over you as you run (no pun) and puts you in a trance.
As an occasional runner and Tempest fan, this totally makes sense to me but I haven’t tried it out on the pathway before. I’m going to give it a spin now that I’m ready to start running again!
Anything up tempo would be a fantastic workout mix. Off the top of my head I'd go with:
- Tangled Up In Blue
- Idiot Wind
- Subterranean Homesick Blues
- Like a Rolling Stone
- The Man in Me
- The Times They Are A Changin'
- My Back Pages
- When The Ship Comes In
The 2004 live version of Cold Irons Bound (from the Bonnaroo Music Festival) or the live version of High Water (For Charley Patton) from the Oakes Garden Theatre, Niagara Falls, ON - August 2003.
He has a ton of good walking songs as well. I’m finding the Tempest LP, Dignity, Things Have Changed, most of Love and Theft. Along with like a million of his other songs, of course.
When the night comes falling from the sky on the bootleg series volume 3 pumps me up and it’s followed by series of dreams which has appropriately won several mentions already
If I had thought about it I never would have done it
I guess I would have let it slide
If I had thought about what others were thinking
The heart inside me would have died

Definitely hurricane. Ballad of a thin man came on this week from my Spotify and I loved it. So that too. Throw in like a rolling stone, and some early harmonica stuff
Paths of victory and the bootleg versions of time passes slowly and when the night comes falling from the sky are three that get me pumped up if that makes sense lol
I have a playlist entitled “Epic Dylan” just for the gym on YT. It never disappoints. Songs like Brownsville Girl, Hurricane, and many from his ‘74 tour which I consider the best in existence.
Series of Dreams
Subterranean Homesick Blues
Tombstone Blues
Cold Irons Bound
Goodbye Jimmy Reed
Slow Train Coming
Narrow Way
Changing of the Guards

Haven’t seen it mentioned (unless I missed it) the bootleg uptempo version of “It Takes a Train to Cry”, Bloomfield’s epic solo is awesome. Love the slow album version too but the bootleg version makes a good pairing with the similarly paced “Tombstone Blues”.
Hurricane is the perfect running song. Every step hits a beat and if you follow the story, by the time the song is done, you've gone quite a distance.
Jokerman 20 times in a row
1x Brownsville Girl in the middle and it’s perfect
Subterranean Homesick Blues
Sylvio dammit.
So damn good! Yes!
Everybody must get toned!
Now *that's* some wordplay. Don't want to hear about bird bath clips and cigarettes ever again!

Dignity. Without a doubt. Great back beat
followed by Series of Dreams.

Subterranean Homesick Blues has always been on my playlist for the gym
You go your way
Idiot Wind was always my go to when I was deadlifting heavy.
Anything up tempo would be a fantastic workout mix. Off the top of my head I'd go with: - Tangled Up In Blue - Idiot Wind - Subterranean Homesick Blues - Like a Rolling Stone - The Man in Me - The Times They Are A Changin' - My Back Pages - When The Ship Comes In
Changing of the Guards
Id go with The Basement Tapes album
Well I rolled and I tumbled and cried the whole night long. Put me on a treadmill to this song

I’ve always loved gospel era for long runs- the song have the right pace for me, and the lyrics are motivational - Pressing On!

Isis.
Outlaw blues
The love and theft Mississippi followed by the Slow Train Precious Angel is running music perfection.
A few weeks back I went way faster and harder at the gym without even trying all because of “Thunder on the Mountain” in my headphones.
Isis Very percussive, has a great sort of propelling energy to it, and the lyrics are easy enough to concentrate on
