Free Rock Running Music For Your Running Playlist

I have a lot of running music on my running playlist most times, so when I found this gem, I immediately downloaded all the songs.
The album I’m showcasing today is a sampler of new songs from the Sxsw festival in Austin, TX. It includes songs from bands you won’t usually hear on the radio, and I thought I’d share these so we can all learn about some new cutting edge music.

The list is free on amazon.com (at least when this post was written), but you can also download it from iTunes as well.
I encourage you to explore the whole list, but I included a sample of the higher BPM songs.

More Running Music For Your Running Playlist At 130 BPM

I’ve been ver busy lately, training hard for a big run, but I wanted to share some running music for your running playlist so that you have something to listen to while I’m “away”.
I’ve been very disappointed with “The Voice” lately, I’m following “American Idol” and “The Voice” and there is a clear quality divide between the 2. I don’t know if it’s the actual singers or the quality of the microphones or what, but American Idol makes The Voice look like a high school performance. I was sorry to see Elise leave lsat night, but she really deserved it. That Jimmy Hendrix song was probably the worst song she could have picked. It’s a nice song, but way too artsy and weird for the show’s audience.

iTunes top 10 BPM analysis: Running Playlist 2011-08-12

I tried to wait for the “glee effect” to ware off of iTunes before i did this week’s running playlist analysis, but it’s been 2 days and Glee is still strong on the list with 2 new songs We are young and Survivor / I Will Survive.

We also have a new entrant, Red Solo Cup, by Toby Keith which is basically a love song he sings to a a plastic cup… wow, what depth and quality… I guess he has a great marketing team.

iTunes top 10 BPM analysis: Running Playlist 2011-30-11

Well, Thanksgiving is over so hopefully we can stop stuffing our faces for a while and go running with our favorite running playlists, at list until Christmas…

Glee was back on TV last night, so obviously, they need to be represented in the iTunes top 10 this week with Perfect (Glee Cast Version)
I still like the music in the show, but the story is starting to get even more out there than usual and I’m thinking of spending that hour on Tuesday nights elsewhere…

We also have a new entry into the top 10 by T-Pain, 5 O’Clock (Explicit Version), I really like the melody of the song and Lily Allen does have a beautiful voice, but the song is a bit dirty for no reason.

iTunes top 10 BPM analysis: Running Playlist 11-23-2011

This week, there was no “Glee” on TV, so the iTunes top 10 is more “natural”. There were no real new songs to this list, but Katy Perry’s “soamd” made it into the top 10. I actually like this song and have it on my running playlists occasionally.

Philadelphia Marathon Update: My Running Playlist Saved the Day

Last week, I mentioned that I’m running a marathon for the first time here in philadelphia and shared my music strategy and running playlist.

Well, up to mile 9 or so, things were going well, and I was following the plan, but at mile 9, I started to not feel well, most likely because I had too many energy gels too early. I wasn’t really in the mood to listen to music, so I listened to some podcasts and focused on making it through the pain.

By mile 22 I was really feeling down, but then, I decided to finish the run properly and turned on my running playlist!

I could not believe that I was able to keep a pace of 12 min/mile after running 22 miles already, but I did. The music gave me the strength i needed to finish the run fast. I kept that pace for around 4 miles or so, getting to 6:28 min/mile for a brief period of time as my fastest pace!

I can easily say, that without my running playlist, I would have never found the power to make it through. I’m still recovering from the run, and my legs still hurt, but I’m glad I did it. I can’t wait to do another one of these!

I would love to hear your feedback on this, so please comment, or contact me on facebook or twitter, or +1 me if you’r on google+.
