Those of you who were following running playlist for a while, know that I’m a big country music fan, and this week’s song of the week is one of the better songs I’ve heard in a while.
Carrie Underwood’s “Blown Away” is a very powerful song. It has strong beats and a strong undertone which adds some pump to your runs.
The song runs at 139 BPM, and the music and lyrics will keep you going fast.
You might have noticed that I didn’t post a running playlist last week. That was because I had a visit from my little friend hurricane Sandy. Fortunately, everything is back to normal for me now, but last week, I was without power for several days and really learned to appreciate what electricity provides.
I’d also like to encourage you to help if you can by donating to the red cross at http://www.redcross.org/.
Back to this week’s running playlist. This one is fast, ranging from 160-170 BPM and will really get your heart pumping, so be careful!
This list is also 1 hour 15 minutes long, so perfect for a fast 10k and then some.
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+.
