The Running Playlist App is FREE!!! (For a limited time only)

running playlist iphone app

In the spirit of sharing free stuff and to show my thanks to all the loyal readers of this site who keep coming back for running playlists every week, I decided to share the running playlist iphone app with the world for free for a limited time.

So for this weekend only (until Monday morning), the running playlist iphone app is absolutely free on iTunes.

I highly recommend you get it now and also tell as many people as you can about it as soon as possible, because on Monday, the price goes back up again.

I also can’t say much about it due to confidentiality and such, but there are some really cool features coming to the app very soon and if you get it now (did I mention it’s free? :) ) you’ll be eligible for those features when the update comes out (the timing really depends on Apple’s process, so I hope it’ll be soon….).

Anyway, I’ll keep this one short and sweet – the running playlist iphone app for free for this weekend only, get it now and tell as many people as possible to get it for free before the price goes back up again.

UPDATE: Apparently, some of you contacted me saying that you missed this promotion since you don’t go online on weekends. Based on these comments I’m extending the promotion until Wednesday, so you have today and Tuesday to still get it for free.

UPDATE 2: I’m going to be testing some new pricing options, so make sure to get this app when it’s free before the prices go up again!

Rock Running Music For Your Running Playlist

Over the next few weeks, I’m going to post running music for your running playlists by genre, and this week, I’m starting with rock!

Rock is an easy pick for running playlists, most of rock music is energizing and upbeat so it’s great for a power boost during a run.

I tried to keep this week’s list pretty diverse with some older rock, some new rock, and some rock music you may not be familiar with along with popular music.

I’ve also included some free music if you get your music from Amazon.com (The free music list on Amazon.com changes all the time, so no guarantees that it will still be free when you try it, but it’s worth checking).

This running playlist is almost 40 minutes long and averages at 134 BPM.

And now, here’s the list, I would love to hear your feedback on this, so please comment, or contact me on facebook or twitter.
I’d also appreciate it if you “like” this post on Facebook or “+1″ it if you are on Google+.

iTunes top 10 BPM analysis: Running Playlist 2011-30-11

Well, Thanksgiving is over so hopefully we can stop stuffing our faces for a while and go running with our favorite running playlists, at list until Christmas…

Glee was back on TV last night, so obviously, they need to be represented in the iTunes top 10 this week with Perfect (Glee Cast Version)
I still like the music in the show, but the story is starting to get even more out there than usual and I’m thinking of spending that hour on Tuesday nights elsewhere…

We also have a new entry into the top 10 by T-Pain, 5 O’Clock (Explicit Version), I really like the melody of the song and Lily Allen does have a beautiful voice, but the song is a bit dirty for no reason.

And now, here’s the list, I would love to hear your feedback on this, so please comment, or contact me on facebook or twitter, or +1 me if you’r on google+.

iTunes top 10 BPM analysis: Running Playlist 2011-23-11

This week, there was no “Glee” on TV, so the iTunes top 10 is more “natural”. There were no real new songs to this list, but Katy Perry’s “The One That Got Away” made it into the top 10. I actually like this song and have it on my running playlists occasionally.

And now, here’s the list, I would love to hear your feedback on this, so please comment, or contact me on facebook or twitter, or +1 me if you’r on google+.

Philadelphia Marathon Update: Running Playlist Saved the Day

Last week, I mentioned that I’m running a marathon for the first time here in philadelphia and shared my music strategy and running playlist.

Well, up to mile 9 or so, things were going well, and I was following the plan, but at mile 9, I started to not feel well, most likely because I had too many energy gels too early. I wasn’t really in the mood to listen to music, so I listened to some podcasts and focused on making it through the pain.

By mile 22 I was really feeling down, but then, I decided to finish the run properly and turned on my running playlist!

I could not believe that I was able to keep a pace of 12 min/mile after running 22 miles already, but I did. The music gave me the strength i needed to finish the run fast. I kept that pace for around 4 miles or so, getting to 6:28 min/mile for a brief period of time as my fastest pace!

I can easily say, that without my running playlist, I would have never found the power to make it through. I’m still recovering from the run, and my legs still hurt, but I’m glad I did it. I can’t wait to do another one of these!

I would love to hear your feedback on this, so please comment, or contact me on facebook or twitter, or +1 me if you’r on google+.

iTunes top 10 BPM analysis: Running Playlist 2011-16-11

I thought this week wouldn’t have too many changes in the iTunes top 10, but I forgot that glee is back on and is no longer doing the “musical” so it’s time for some “real” songs from them on running playlist.

Today’s iTunes top 10 is more diverse than I thought it would be. We have Glee of course, some new songs from Drake, and even a song from the new Twilight soundtrack, so definitely something for all you teens out there… :)

As usual, I’ve bolded the songs that would make a good addition to a bpm based running playlist.

And now, here’s the list, I would love to hear your feedback on this, so please comment, or contact me on facebook or twitter, or +1 me if you’r on google+.
