In ChiRunning Danny Dreyer recommends a constant cadence: adjust your speed by altering stride length not tempo. This playlist is intended as an aid to running at his optimum rate (he actually runs at 90 bpm). I actually find it very quick but I will persist.
M.I.A "Paper Planes"
Gorillaz "Clint Eastwood"
Beastie Boys "Pass the Mic"
Beastie Boys "Sabotage"
Morcheeba "Slow Down" (Never attempt to run to Morcheeba, ever!)
Transplants "Gangsters & Thugs" (double time)
The Cure "Boys Don't Cry"
Lenny Kravitz "Always on the Run"
King of Leon "Crawl"
David Bowie "Young Americans"
Wintersleep "Weighty Ghost"
Arctic Monkeys "When the Sun Goes Down"
The Verve "Bitter Sweet Symphony"
Beastie Boys "So What'Cha Want"
Tricky "Black Steel"
DJ Shadow "Scale It Back"
This is just a taster so do try the full Spotify playlist. It starts with the proven good running tracks and becomes more experimental as you progress towards the end.
(The initial playlist was based on Davet's comprehensive list; but it's grown with songs I've tapped out on an Android BPM counter.)
