Boo! A Halloween Running Playlist Number 2: 10-28-2011
Posted by Sam in 150 BPM, Holiday, Playlist of the week, Running Playlist, Uncategorized on October 28, 2011
Can you believe this?! the running playlist site has been around for over a year now! This is the second Halloween running playlist I’m posting. Very exciting!!
This year, I thought I’d change things up a bit and instead of reposting oldies but goodies like “the monster mash” and other “traditional” Halloween songs, I’d do something different.
This running playlist is about the characters of Halloween: Monsters, Witches and others who didn’t get their fair share in last years Halloween running playlist.
This running playlist is almost 42 minutes long and is pretty fast, averaging out at 151 bpm. Watch out for the 198(!) bpm song I hid somewhere in the playlist, it will definitely give you a good scare and get your heart pumping.
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+.

A fast playlist: 148 BPM average

I added some new songs to my personal running playlist lately, and I wanted to share them with you. You may have seen a few of them before, but most of them are brand new (to me at least).
This one is a relatively short playlist, at 37 minutes, and it’s great for a short fast run.
Btw, Did you catch Rihanna’s performance last night on american Idol? I can’t say I’m a big Rihanna fan, but she was really good!!
I’m also trying something new today: if you want to get the entire playlist, just click the button below.
Let me know if you like this feature and I’ll try and incorporate it in future playlists I put together if there is demand for it.
One last thing. Japan is really suffering right now, so if you want to help and get some music in return, check out the above banner.
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.

Back to the future, an 80s running playlist: 11-06-2010
Posted by Sam in 80s, Playlist of the week, Running Playlist, Uncategorized on November 6, 2010
I know, it’s Saturday today and I’m a day late with the running playlist of the week.
The reason I’m late is that yesterday, I went to NYC to attend the Born to Run “Cabaret” event.
Anyway, it was great and I’m back now to share with you the 80′s running playlist of the week!
The 80s was a great decade for music. I don’t think there will ever be a market for 90s cover bands or god forbid cover bands for the 2000′s and 2010′s (unless you include the TV show Glee in this and then all bets are off…) but 80s cover bands and 80s music is alive and well in our hearts and ears.
There were a ton of great songs I could have added to this list, and I might do a second post of an 80s running playlist some time in the future, but I tried to pick some interesting songs that we all know and love with a good BPM for a running playlist.
This list is 1:02 hours long, so it will give you plenty of time to have fun and reminisce about the good old 80s.
And now, here’s the list. Please retweet/like this post if you enjoyed it.

Shake your groove thing: 70′s running playlist of the week: 10-22-2010
Posted by Sam in 70s, By Genre, Playlist of the week, Running Playlist, Uncategorized on October 22, 2010
What do bell bottoms, mood rings, disco and Saturday Night Fever have in common? That’s right, they are all cultural icons of the 70′s.
When I think about the 70′s I always remember the immortal phrase spoken by one of the great thinkers of the time: “Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah”. Ahh, that brings back memories…
The 70s music definitely had its charm, and while Disco did die with that decade, it will always live on in our hearts and iPods and now, it can also be part of our running playlist.
Per request of one of my readers, AnaIsabel, I put together a list of some great songs from the 70′s that would be great for a running playlist.
The list below is 1:15 hours, and has an average BPM of 131, so it will allow you to run at a good tempo.
