jogTunes presents a new playlist (jogSet) called Bloc Party and More jogSet. We saved you the work of finding runnable songs in Bloc Party's recent album Silent Alarm and in an iTunes Live Session. Check it out here. The BPM ranges from 156 to 172. The iMix also includes runnables from Pearl Jam, NIN, The Chemical Brothers, and Ben Harper. The last song by Harper, Bring the Funk, should be walked in a cool-down mode at 100 BPM.
Rob Nelson of areyouageek (?) spoke highly of jogTunes on his 9/18 podcast. I'm grateful to him for helping to popularize music-paced running.
Finally a special thanks to Nathan Moore of phusebox and Scott Dunlap of A Trail Runner's Blog for their support of jogTunes.
The mornings are cool and crisp in Moab and there's a dusting of snow in the La Sal Mountains. It doesn't get any better for the morning workout.
This is the associated blog for JogTunes.com, a song, playlist, and podcast resource for runners, indoor cyclists, and other fitness enthusiasts who like to work out to the beat of their music.

jogTunes on the MacCast
The new and, I think, improved, jogTunes, was introduced to the podcasting world by Adam Christianson on his popular podcast, the MacCast. It was on his 9/13/05 show. And sure enough, the traffic to jogTunes increased exponentially. I'm grateful to Adam for his help
I've been thinking about the many ways users may find jogTunes helpful. They may place a "runnable" tune in the faster range (about 170 to 180 beats-per-minute) in the middle of their regular running playlist to ensure they're running at peak pace. Or they may switch to several runnable songs after listening to a podcast during warm-up. Others may create a full playlist of runnable songs or download one of the playlists on jogTunes.
I'm still waiting to find out how many other people will find it a whole lot of fun to run to the pace of music. I've written emails to several bloggers: A Trail Runner's Blog and A Runner's Blog, and will post to forums where there is interest in running to music.
Also, foreign versions of JogTunes may be helpful. Japan has just joined the iTunes community. Most of the European countries are already on line with iTunes. This may get interesting.
Happy running to the beat!
