Boo! A Halloween Running Playlist Number 2: 10-28-2011

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.

iTunes top 10 BPM analysis: Running Playlist 2011-25-10

It’s time for another iTunes top 10 review on running playlist.

This week, we have 2 “new” songs on the list. First, a new Christmas Song from Justin Bieber. If you expect anything new and exciting out of that one, you may be disappointed, it’s just the same old song, just being sung by Bieber and Usher.

The second entry is You Make Me Feel…, by Cobra Starship, it’s not really a new song, but it’s new to my list.

As usual, I’ve bolded the songs that would make a good addition to a bpm based running playlist.

10K Running Playlist at 170 BPM

Continuing the series of 10k running playlists organized by BPM, we now arrive at the 170 BPM zone running playlist.
These songs are very fast, and can leave you out of breath if you’re not ready for them, so please be careful. They’re really great for a fast run workout or for a 10k run PR.

This running playlist is 1:06 hours long and averages out at 175 BPM.

iTunes top 10 BPM analysis: Running Playlist 2011-19-10

Welcome back to a new iTunes top 10 review on running playlist.

Since I haven’t done these for a while, most of the songs on this list are new.

Justin Bieber has a new Christmas song out this week, which seems like it’s slightly early for that kind of music, but I guess those 12 year old girls need their “bieber fix” so there you have it.

We also have a really bad song by drake at number 2, maybe it’s just me, but I really don’t like it.

The rest of the list is pretty much what you’d expect from listening to the radio for an hour or so, sans the lady gaga and Katy Perry for a change.

As usual, I’ve bolded the songs that would make a good addition to a bpm based running playlist.

Running Playlist – learn while you run

It’s been a few weeks now and the fall TV season is in full swing. It seems like there are music shows on every channel ranging from shows like x-factor which has a lot of flare and hype to the sing off, which isn’t as hyped but still has good music. I may do a TV running playlist soon, let me know if you want me to put one together.

Speaking of TV shows, when I first saw Scotty McCreery I knew he’d be successful and now, his first albumClear As Day is out and it sounds like it was entirely written for the radio. Most of the songs are very light and easy to listen to and would be very successful on the radio.

Scotty isn’t as poetically sophisticated as the country veterans, but if he doesn’t mess things up for himself, he’s going to have a huge career.

Anyway, to the subject of today’s running playlist.

What if I told you that you could be getting an Ivy League education, for free, while your run?
I think I mentioned this in the past, but I’ve been listening to a lot of iTunes U classes lately while I run and I think they’re great!

On long runs, there’s only so much music you can listen to without needing a break, especially on long slow runs. So enter iTunes U.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with iTunes U, it’s basically a free service iTunes has that shares classes from the top universities in the country (and maybe even the world). There are actual classes that were recorded at places like Harvard, Yale, Cornell, and even Stanford (which is not Ivy League, but definitely should be on this list) and they are all free to download.

Many classes are videos, which are great if you’re running on a treadmill, but when I run outside I download the audio classes and just listen to one or two lessons while I run.

So far, I’ve taken two full semesters of history classes at Brown and Yale and a computer science class at Stanford and I love the fact that I can get access to the amazing minds that teach these classes, for free and without having to attend those universities and all while I run.

One tip, if you run in a noisy area, you may want to do a volume adjustment in iTunes to the class files (right click the class in iTunes, go to “Get Info” and go to “options”) to adjust the volume because sometimes the recording volume isn’t as loud as I like it.
