More Running Music For Your Running Playlist At 130 BPM
Posted by Sam in 130 BPM, BPM, playlist, Running Playlist on April 27, 2012
I’ve been ver busy lately, training hard for a big run, but I wanted to share some running music for your running playlist so that you have something to listen to while I’m “away”.
I’ve been very disappointed with “The Voice” lately, I’m following “American Idol” and “The Voice” and there is a clear quality divide between the 2. I don’t know if it’s the actual singers or the quality of the microphones or what, but American Idol makes The Voice look like a high school performance. I was sorry to see Elise leave lsat night, but she really deserved it. That Jimmy Hendrix song was probably the worst song she could have picked. It’s a nice song, but way too artsy and weird for the show’s audience.
Anyway, 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+.

Country Running Music For Your Running Playlist
Posted by Sam in Country Running Playlist, Music, playlist, Playlist of the week, Running Playlist on January 30, 2012
This week, I’m posting some country running songs for your running playlist as part of my running playlist by genre series.
As you may know if you’ve been following this site for a while, I’m a big fan of country music and it’s usually featured in my personal running playlists.
In this week’s running playlist I tried to include a good mix of new, old, famous and unknown country songs. I also tried to include some free country songs if you get them on Amazon.com (The amazon.com free music list changes often, so the music here may not be free anymore if they change it but it’s worth checking out)
This country music running playlist is 40 minutes long and averages out at 132 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+.

Philadelphia Marathon Update: Running Playlist Saved the Day
Posted by Sam in Marathon, playlist, Running Playlist on November 22, 2011
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+.
10k Running Playlist At 180 BPM and Higher
Posted by Sam in 10k, 10k Playlist, 180+ BPM, Metal, playlist, Playlist of the week, Rock, Running Playlist on November 4, 2011
This running playlist is FAST!!!
Averaging at 198 BPM, this is probably the fastest running playlist I’ve ever put together so be careful you don’t get a heart attack when running to it.
As you might imagine, this playlist has mostly rock and heavy metal music in it, since those genres can usually go up to those high BPMs without sounding too crazy.
If you plan to run a 10k with this running playlist, you’ll go really fast, so make sure you warm up well. This playlist is also very short, at 31 minutes, so you may want to add some slower songs up front to help you ease into it and not start off with a 181 BPM song.
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.

The Running Playlist app – now on Android!
Posted by Sam in App of the week, playlist, Running Playlist on September 1, 2011
It’s been a while since I posted, and now I can tell you what kept me away from publishing my usual running playlists (or you can guess from the title of this post, either way…:)
Since I launched the running playlist iPhone app, it’s had over 120,000 uses, and I’ve gotten multiple requests for a similar android app.
It sounded like a simple task to me, but little did I know, that it would take months, and not weeks to complete. The reason was that the developer I hired for this got into some technical difficulties and decided that he’s dropping the project midway, so I was basically left hanging with some unfinished files, and ended up reading a lot(!) of android websites and documentation, learning how to program for android and finishing it up myself.
I would definitely love to hear your feedback on this app and any thoughts on how to improve it (that goes for the iPhone app as well btw).
This is the original version of the running playlist app (no pace calculator) and if I see interest in it, I’ll add more features like with the iPhone app.
The app is on the Android market now so go ahead and give it a try.
As usual, it would be great if you tell your friends about this and also let me know what you think 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+.
Have fun!
10K Running Playlist at 150 BPM
Posted by Sam in 10k, 10k Playlist, 150 BPM, 80s, Music, playlist, Playlist of the week, Rock, Running Playlist on July 14, 2011
It’s Thursday again and it’s time for another high BPM running playlist to get you going for the weekend. This week, it’s a 150 BPM running playlist.
For some reason, this playlist ended up filling up with rock music from the 80′s and early 90′s, I’m not sure why, but I guess the 150 BPM range was popular back then (or maybe I just have a lot of songs from that era… 
I also managed to squeeze in not one but two(!) songs from the Top Gun soundtrack, so how about that!
This playlist is 1:13 minutes long, and averages at 154 BPM. It’s starting to get faster, so be careful and don’t overheat when you run this summer.
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.

A 4th of July Running Playlist for Independence Day
Posted by Sam in Holiday, Music, playlist, Playlist of the week, Running Playlist on June 30, 2011
The fourth of July is coming this weekend in the US (and I guess it’s coming in the rest of the world too…:) and that means that it’s Independence Day. So what better than a running playlist full of patriotic and inspiring songs to get you in the mood?
This week’s running playlist is made of songs that are about freedom, independence or … wait for it… fireworks! I made sure these are all songs with a BPM of over 120, so you can actually run to them, and also included some diversity, even though country is more dominant in this playlist than it usually is.
This running playlist averages out at 131 BPM and is 48 minutes long. So go for a run, then have a beer and watch some fireworks to celebrate the birth of the USA and I’ll see you next week!
If you have any suggestions for more freedom themed songs that would be good in a running playlist, please post them in the comments below (if the comments box still doesn’t work for you please use the facebook comments, thanks).
UPDATE: I finally fixed the site comments, so I’d love to hear your recommendations for songs about freedom, Independence, fireworks or any other 4th of July relevant songs!
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.
