10k Running Playlist of the week: 12-23-2010

December 23, 2010 in 10k, 10k Playlist, BPM, playlist, Running Playlist with 1 Comment

Another Thursday, another 10k running playlist. This one is a slower one, since it’s holiday season and I’m sure we’re all full of “holiday cheer” and need some time to recuperate.

This running playlist is more rock focused than usual, but I threw in a bunch of different other genres to keep it interesting.

Today’s running playlist is 1:20 minutes long, so if you are planning to use it for a 10k run, you’ll need to keep a pace of 13:02 min/mile. This running playlist averages at 121 BPM, so not too tough.

And now, here’s the list:

Running Playlist: iTunes top 10 BPM analysis: 12-14-2010

December 14, 2010 in iTunes top 10, Music, playlist, Running Playlist with 1 Comment

Only two weeks to go until Christmas, and surprisingly, there are no new holiday singles in the iTunes top 10. This week, the iTunes top 10 list is almost identical to last week’s list, except for That’s All She Wrote (Feat. Eminem) [Explicit], which has a low BPM and is not good for a running playlist.

On the other hand, the one hour long commercial, sorry, i meant “episode” of Glee for Christmas worked, and the Glee Christmas album has been on the top 10 albums since the show aired. Good for them… Hopefully the story line for that show gets better soon, because it’s starting to look like one of those infomercials for music compilations.

As usual, I’ve bolded the songs that are good for a running playlist.
And now, here’s the list:

Name	Time	Artist	BPM	Album	Genre	Get it on iTunes	Get it on Amazon.com
Firework	03:47	Katy Perry	125	Teenage Dream	Pop		Firework
Grenade	03:42	Bruno Mars	112	Doo-Wops & Hooligans	Pop		Grenade
The Time (Dirty Bit)	05:08	Black Eyed Peas	128	The Time (Dirty Bit) – Single	Pop		The Time (Dirty Bit)
What’s My Name? (feat. Drake)	04:24	Rihanna	96	Loud	Pop		What’s My Name?
We R Who We R	03:24	Ke$ha	121	We R Who We R	Pop		We R Who We R
Raise Your Glass	03:23	Pink	124	Raise Your Glass – Single	Pop		Raise Your Glass (Explicit Version)
That’s All She Wrote (feat. Eminem)	05:18	T.I.	86	No Mercy	Rap & Hip-Hop		That’s All She Wrote (Feat. Eminem) [Explicit]
Black and Yellow	03:36	Wiz Khalifa	83	Black and Yellow – Single	Rap & Hip-Hop		Black And Yellow
Bottoms Up (feat. Nicki Minaj)	04:01	Trey Songz	73	Passion, Pain & Pleasure (Deluxe Version)	R&B/Soul		Bottoms Up (Feat. Nicki Minaj)
Just the Way You Are	03:40	Bruno Mars	111	Just the Way You Are – Single	Pop		Just The Way You Are

Fast 5k Running Playlist: 12-09-2010

December 9, 2010 in 5K, 5K Playlist, BPM, playlist, Running Playlist with 0 Comments

Today’s 5k running playlist is a very fast one. It’s cold outside in most of the northern hemisphere, and any run outside needs to be done fast so you can get back inside and warm up.

This 5k running playlist is 31 minutes long, meaning that if you want to use it for a 5k run, you’ll have to keep a pace of 10:03 min/mile. This isn’t terribly fast, but not too slow either, so make sure you warm up well before you run.

The average BPM of this list is 174 beats per minute. This is the fastest playlist I’ve ever posted, please be careful when you run with this.

And now – the running playlist:

Name	Time	Artist	BPM	Album	Genre	Get it on iTunes	Get it on Amazon.com
Ring of Fire	00:03:50.0	Social Distortion	169	Social Distortion	Rock		Ring Of Fire
Give It Up	00:03:55.0	LCD Soundsystem	170	LCD Soundsystem	Electronic		Give It Up
Such Great Heights	00:04:26.0	The Postal Service	174	Give Up	Dance		Such Great Heights (Album)
Cover	00:03:38.0	Engine Down	175	Engine Down	Alternative rock		Cover
Kickstart My Heart	00:04:42.0	Motley Crue	176	Dr. Feelgood	Rock		Kickstart My Heart
Modern Love	00:04:46.0	David Bowie	177	Best Of Bowie	Rock		Modern Love
All We Are	00:03:40.0	Gotthard	178	Lipservice	Rock		All We Are
A-Punk	00:02:17.0	Vampire Weekend	178	Vampire Weekend	Alternative		A-Punk

Running Playlist: iTunes top 10 BPM analysis: 12-07-2010

December 7, 2010 in BPM, iTunes top 10, playlist with 0 Comments

One of my year’s end resolutions (besides building a legendary running playlist) is to keep things positive and try not to say bad things about people. I was doing pretty well with this until I saw Katy Perry’s gratuitous appearance on the Simpsons this Sunday. I’m not sure why she was there or what she added to the show and that would be fine if she would have acted well, but her appearance was soooooo awkward, I was almost embarrassed for her.

Anyway, that’s the last bad thing I’m going to say about Katy Perry this year unless she really pulls another ridiculous performance like the one on Sunday and then I’ll have to comment on it.
Back to the iTunes top 10.

It looks like my theory about Glee continuously being in the top 10 was wrong. They did have some songs in the iTunes top 10 for a couple of days after the show, but then they dropped out. This week, we have two new entrants into the iTunes top 10, Black And Yellow, Christmas Lights. Unfortunately, these songs have a low BPM so they aren’t suitable for a running playlist.

One more interesting thing to note about this week’s top 10 is that it features our first Christmas song for this year Christmas Lights.
I do love Christmas music, and I try to avoid malls and easy listening radio to keep myself from an overdose this time of year, so I’m looking forward to seeing what else we’ll get to hear this holiday season.

As usual, I’ve bolded the songs that are good for a running playlist.
And now, here’s the list:

Name	Time	Artist	BPM	Album	Genre	Get it on iTunes	Get it on Amazon.com
Firework	03:47	Katy Perry	125	Teenage Dream	Pop		Firework
Grenade	03:42	Bruno Mars	112	Doo-Wops & Hooligans	Pop		Grenade

What’s My Name? (feat. Drake)	04:24	Rihanna	96	Loud	Pop		What’s My Name?
We R Who We R	03:24	Ke$ha	121	We R Who We R	Pop		We R Who We R
Raise Your Glass	03:23	Pink	124	Raise Your Glass – Single	Pop		Raise Your Glass (Explicit Version)
Christmas Lights	04:02	Coldplay	61	Christmas Lights – Single	Alternative		Christmas Lights
Bottoms Up (feat. Nicki Minaj)	04:01	Trey Songz	73	Passion, Pain & Pleasure (Deluxe Version)	R&B/Soul		Bottoms Up (Feat. Nicki Minaj)
Black and Yellow	03:36	Wiz Khalifa	83	Black and Yellow – Single	Rap & Hip-Hop		Black And Yellow

10k Running Playlist of the week: 12-02-2010

December 2, 2010 in 10k, 10k Playlist, BPM, playlist, Running Playlist with 1 Comment

It’s getting colder and colder here in the northeast, and temperatures are falling below freezing early in the morning when I usually run.
I remember reading somewhere that when you run in cold weather you tend to run faster, which is great, because if it keeps getting colder this way, I’m going to break some world records very soon…

This 10k running playlist has a lot of musical diversity, some oldies, some glee, and even a dance song, so it will definitely keep your ears and mind engaged with the different musical styles. I also made sure that you start slow with a few songs for a warm up and then pick up with the BPM up to 162 BPM.

This running playlist is 1:21 hours long, so if you want to use it for a 10k run and use the whole list, you’ll need to keep a pace of 13:04 mile/min. The average BPM for this list is 132 beats per minute.

And now – the running playlist:

Boo! A Halloween running playlist: 10-29-2010

October 29, 2010 in Holiday, playlist, Playlist of the week with 1 Comment

This weekend is Halloween in the USA, a holiday where kids are encouraged to take candies from strangers and adults dress up in skimpy clothing…

But seriously though, it’s a fun holiday and if you eat too much candy, you’ll need to run it off, so I put together a running playlist inspired by Halloween songs.
This spooky running playlist isn’t a very long one, so you’ll have time to get back to your trick or treat adventures in no time.

The running playlist is 38:14 minutes long with an average BPM of 144, so it’s pretty fast. I also tried to avoid the usual suspects for this kind of a playlist like the “Adams Family” and other overused songs for this holiday although I couldn’t avoid some.

And now, here’s the list. Please retweet/like this post if you enjoyed it.

Name	Time	Artist	BPM	Album	Genre	Get it on iTunes	Get it on Amazon.com
Love Potion No. 9	01:54	The Clovers	131	The Wedding Album	Pop		Love Potion No. 9

It’s Thursday and once again it’s time for your 10k running playlist of the week.

I’ve been very hard on you over the last few weeks with very fast high BPM running playlist, so I thought I’d go easy on you this week.

This 10k playlist is very relaxed, at 118 average BPM and is 1:33 hours long so if you are using it for a 10k, you will have to run at most at 15.02 min/mile, which isn’t very fast.
