Today’s running music is all about alternative rock (or is it just plain “alternative”?). In this running playlist, I added some music that is a bit off the beaten path and tried to find some songs that are not always played on the radio on mainstream channels.
I also included some free music (only on amazon and it may not be free if they change stuff on their side, but it was free when I last looked).
This Alternative music running playlist is 40 minutes long and averages out at 139 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+.

Great list and the perfect length and tempo for me- thanks!
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
really like this list. I’m getting ready to run my first 1/2 marathon in a month and am trying to put together a good lengthy playlist for it. I’ll definitely be including this list. Any other alternative tunes like these you recommend ?
Joy,
thanks for your comment! I have 2 alternative playlists posted right now (Feb. and June) and working on some more, so stay tuned!
