iTunes top 10 BPM analysis: Running Playlist 2011-21-06
Posted by Sam in iTunes top 10, playlist, Running Playlist on June 21, 2011
We’re back with another iTunes top 10 analysis for running playlist.
This week, we have a few new songs in the top 10. First, Katy Perry is out with another really stupid song which I’m sure I’ll be humming in the shower at some point after it plays 100000 times on the radio and gets engraved in my brain. We also have Tonight Tonight
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.

Caution! Very fast 5k running playlist – 180 BPM and higher 2011-05-26
Posted by Sam in 180+ BPM, 5K, 5K Playlist, playlist, Playlist of the week, Running Playlist on May 26, 2011
This running playlist is downright dangerous! All the songs on this running playlist are over 180 BPM!
Before we get to the playlist, I really have to say that the American Idol finale last night was just awesome! I really enjoyed it and the fact that it featured country and rock instead of the usual top 40 pop was a real nice touch.
I did think that Lauren should have won, just because she rocked that last song on Tuesday, but I like Scotty too and I think he’s going to be a HUGE country star, so I’m happy.
Not going to say anything about the really BAD Glee on Tuesday…
Back to running playlists…
If you’ve been chugging along, running slowly and trying to go faster, this playlist is for you. A 180+ running playlist will get your heart pumping and move you faster than you’ve ever run.
Be very careful though – when I ran with this list, I ended up nearly puking because of the effort. I actually felt sick for the rest of the day (most likely a combination of heavy metal music and dehydration…)
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.

iTunes top 10 BPM analysis: Running Playlist 2011-10-05
Posted by Sam in iTunes top 10, playlist, Running Playlist on May 17, 2011
This week is a pretty good week for running playlists on the iTunes top 10.
We have 3 new songs, Hair, Party Rock Anthem, Dirty Dancer and all of them are over 120 BPM.
Lady Gaga’s new song is especially interesting, since she sounds a little bit like Bonnie Tyler in that, which is a good thing…
As usual, I’ve bolded the songs that would work well in a running playlist.
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 is FREE!!! (For a limited time only)
Posted by Sam in App of the week, iTunes top 10, playlist, Running Playlist on May 7, 2011
In the spirit of sharing free stuff and to show my thanks to all the loyal readers of this site who keep coming back for running playlists every week, I decided to share the running playlist iphone app with the world for free for a limited time.
So for this weekend only (until Monday morning), the running playlist iphone app is absolutely free on iTunes.
I highly recommend you get it now and also tell as many people as you can about it as soon as possible, because on Monday, the price goes back up again.
I also can’t say much about it due to confidentiality and such, but there are some really cool features coming to the app very soon and if you get it now (did I mention it’s free? 
) you’ll be eligible for those features when the update comes out (the timing really depends on Apple’s process, so I hope it’ll be soon….).
Anyway, I’ll keep this one short and sweet – the running playlist iphone app for free for this weekend only, get it now and tell as many people as possible to get it for free before the price goes back up again.
UPDATE: Apparently, some of you contacted me saying that you missed this promotion since you don’t go online on weekends. Based on these comments I’m extending the promotion until Wednesday, so you have today and Tuesday to still get it for free.
UPDATE 2: I’m going to be testing some new pricing options, so make sure to get this app when it’s free before the prices go up again!
One More Running Playlist From My Personal Stash
Posted by Sam in 140 BPM, BPM, playlist, Playlist of the week, Running Playlist on April 29, 2011
This is the third and final (for now) post in the “my personal running playlist” series.
I just did a very fast run the other day, and these songs were playing in my ipod pretty much the whole time. The average BPM for these songs is 141, so don’t go too fast…
This running playlist includes two of my favorite groups, Bon Jovi and Black Eyed Peas (although after seeing BEP perform live on the Superbowl and on American Idol, I’m starting to not like them as much) and a few other more “classic” 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.

Running Playlist: iTunes top 10 BPM analysis: 04-13-2011
Posted by Sam in iTunes top 10, playlist, Running Playlist on April 13, 2011
This week’s iTunes top 10 is still good for running playlist, although not as good as last week’s. The top 10 is back to normal (i.e. only pop and hip-hop) so we can all sleep in peace knowing the world is safe again… although not having a Glee song on there still makes me wake up in cold sweat sometimes…
We have a new entrant, S&M Remix, which is actually higher on the list than its original version and is probably there due to the power of Britney Spears… We also have a couple of new hip hop songs , Down On Me and Give Me Everything (which has a higher BPM so good to run to).
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.

5k Running Playlist of the week: constant BPM of 160
Posted by Sam in 160 BPM, 5K, 5K Playlist, BPM, Performance, playlist, Playlist of the week, Running Playlist on April 8, 2011
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.
