Love the blog, nice work! Enjoyed the list of running songs. Have you ever looked into matching the bpm (beats per minute) of a song to your pace? I've put a few of my favorites w/ bpms below and I hope you'll check out the 5 different playlists I've put together specifically for running. There is over 30 hrs of running music w/ carefully selected songs that are inspirational, about running, or at least are fun w/ great beat (no "19th Nervous Breakdown", "Loser", "Blister in the Sun", etc.) Check it out at http://www.remanents.com/blog/bold-pace-music/

Some favs (w/ bpm):

The Way We Get By - Spoon (152)
Take a Minute - K'naan (156)
Tick Tick Boom - The Hives (137)
Ali in the Jungle – The Hours (142)
Talk to Ya Later - The Tubes (155)
Rat Trap – Boomtown Rats (157):
Keep Your Head - The Ting Tings (156)
Hey Ya! - Outcast (160)
My Sharona - The Knack (147)
Getting Down - The Kills (150)
The Underdog - Spoon (145)
Ballroom Blitz - Sweet (194)
Come On Let’s Go – Paul Weller (149)
Never Miss a Beat – Kaiser Cheifs (158)
It's Okay - The Kings (165)
Wolf Like Me - TV on the Radio (177)

Your website is awesome... I have never heard about bpm, but now listening to some of the playlists,

I get how it can be useful and how its good for pacing.

Hi there Yasmine, btw I have to thank Janderso too it's a great suggestion to look at the bbp for a playlist. I started drafting a playlist on Spotify taking some of your suggestions and some of my favs.
Best!
