We’re continuing our series of running playlists by BPM with this heart pumping 160 BPM running playlist.
The 160 BPM range is really mostly found in rock and metal music. It’s fast, fun to run with and really energizing, but not too fast so that you run out of breath after 5 minutes. I’ve used this BPM range to break some time and pace PRs and I’m sure you’ll do great with it too.
This list is 44 minutes long, so plenty of time for a 5k, and has an average BPM of 165.
Also, don’t forget to check out the running playlist iPhone app where you can get new songs and running playlists directly to your iPhone.
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.
