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+.

love it all – except the last Bob Seger song (although I LOVE him and love that song….just not for me).
Thanks for the lists!! I’m a newbie, so this is helpful.
you should do an 80′s themed list!
