The Roast Beef Curtains

Reggae and Rock are probably the best genres for beat matched workouts. Blends of the 2 genres are emerging and that's to our benefit. The beat is unmistakable and motivating. I've got a great mix that features reggae, rock and some mashing of the two.

Several JTIP fans have mentioned that they like the interval running episodes, so here's another one. BPMs of 150s to 160s will be interspersed with speed bursts of short second segments of "Barbarella" at 184 by Loomis and the Lust. Their entire track will also appear at the end of this episode.

Mo McMorrow

This month, serendipity reigns. While I was attending a Hedda Layne gig at the Belmont in Austin, Texas, Mo McMorrow was sitting at my table. It didn't take long to find out that she's a singer songwriter and well known on the Austin scene. I checked her tunes out on MySpace. They turned out to be great music by an impressive artist, and a perfect beat-matching runset. So here's a sequenced set of Mo's tunes with a taste of my other favorite Austin artists, Hedda Layne and Brett Low.

This is another interval running session. After some warming up and easy running, Mo's fast tune, "God Knows," will provide the interval 193 BPM, 90-second speed bursts. These will alternate with fast walks that can also be jogged slowly. A full length, uninterrupted version of "God Knows" appears at the end of the show. If you're not in shape for interval workouts, run these segments at a slower pace or shorten your stride. The most important thing is to run safe.

Check out the track details, purchase options, and more info on this episode on the episode page on JogTunes.com.

Also, please note that the workout session is approximately 40 minutes. The total episode time is 51 minutes due to the addition of full length versions of segmented and voiced-over tracks.

As always, I welcome your comments. Please send them to comments at jogtunes.com, post them on our JogTunes.com facebook fan page, or send me a tweet.

New Episode of the JogTunes Indie Podcast - Great Music Projects

2010-05-17T19:05:00.000-07:00

This episode breaks with my short and sweet midmonth format by presenting another classic JTIP 2 segment session. This is 28 minutes of sequenced BPM running followed by a 17 min sprint section. I've got 2 veteran JogTunes artists and 5 new groups. There's great rock, reggae, world, and loads of awesome electronica.

The sprint session maxes out at 182 BPM. If you're not used to beat-matching that tempo, slow your pace or shorten your stride. If you have a pulse monitor, this is a good time to use it. The main thing is to run safe.

Check out the track details, purchase options, and more info on the episode's JogTunes page.

Meet a most impressive, Toronto born, Miami based singer song/writer, Tristan Clopet, and, from Seattle, the awesome, 6 member rock group, Alabaster. Together they provide great music and a perfect beat-matched, interval workout session.

This is a 40 minute session and again I present some fast segments for interval workouts. So watch your pulse monitors and only run the speed bursts if you're comfortable at that speed. You can always shorten your stride or run slower. The key is to run safe. Interval running is not for the faint of heart. Please be sure you're fit for this workout. If you have any doubts you still can enjoy this runset buy taking the intervals at a slower pace and/or by shortening your stride.

Check out the track details, purchase options, and more info below these show notes.

Maree McRae Featured on the Latest Episode of The JogTunes Indie Podcast

2010-04-24T14:59:00.000-07:00

Maree McRae

I'm happy to present the impressive artistry of the Denver based singer/songwriter Maree McRae. Her music is not only great for listening but also perfect for beat-matched interval running. The short interval segments are from 2 of her tunes and run at 186 and 190. A longer, slower interval is full track and runs at 179. Don't fret. I've included the complete versions of the faster tunes at the end of the show.

Interval running is not for the feint of heart. Please be sure you're fit for this workout. If you have any doubts you still can enjoy this runset by taking the intervals at a slower pace and/or by shortening your stride.

It's All Megaphone on Episode #50 of the JogTunes Indie Podcast

2010-03-16T18:48:00.000-07:00

I played a Megaphone track on my last Christmas show and vowed that I would bring this awesome rock band back for a solo engagement. All of their podsafe tunes are featured on this mid-month episode of the JTIP and sequenced for a really fun 30 minute run.

It's mostly easy going jogging and running with a long interval run at 172 BPM. If you're not used to that speed, run it for 30 seconds then slow your pace or shorten your stride. If you're comfortable with that pace, enjoy over 3 minutes of flat out running.

I just moved to Austin, Texas, and had little time to post tunes and blog. I'm getting back to it and found some intriguing music for great beat-matched workouts.

Massive Attack just released their latest album Heligoland. It's a different sound for matching your stride. We posted 2 runnables at 158 and 185 BPM.

Peter posted his "tested" list for January and from that list I picked Green Day's "Murder City", running fast at 182 and The 69 Eyes' "Some Kind of Magick", running comfortably at 160.

When I first heard Louinel Jean’s new song, “Power of Love”, I immediately started planning this episode. It’s a perfect theme for the end of a tumultuous decade as it sets the tone for what I’m sure we all hope will be a smoother 10 years aided by the power of love. All of the tunes are about love, and range in BPMs from walking paces to tempos for all out running.

New Episode of the JogTunes Indie Podcast Featuring Reggae and Louinel Jean

2009-09-15T21:48:00.000-07:00

The latest episode (#38) of the JogTunes Indie Podcast is out the door!

A year and 1/2 ago I published my first predominantly reggae episode and it ranked high on my download stats. Reggae is just plain easy and fun to run to. On this show, not only do I bring reggae to the forefront again but I feature an outstanding musician, composer, producer, and humanitarian, Louinel Jean.

Jean is a Haitian who moved to Jamaica in 1998. A man of deep compassion, Jean composes and performs music that not only entertains but inspires and informs. He calls for us to be our best and to be sensitive to the hardship of others, especially children.

Other tunes not included in this show keenly increase our awareness oif injustice. Check out two outstanding works on this theme: Darfur Outcry on Garageband.com and Justice on iTunes.

Jean first graced my show on episode #23 and then again on #33 with 3 of his most popular works. On this episode, I replay these tunes along with 2 newer Louinel Jean tracks, and tunes by 4 other artists in the reggae and dub traditions.

Louinel Jean’s Bio

Enjoy the show and your next run!

Songs about Running Added to the JogTunes Tunes List

2009-09-08T20:15:00.000-07:00

I came across a great thread on Runner's World's website. It's all about songs about running. I found workout songs by many artists including Rush, Melissa Etheridge, A Flock of Seagulls, George Strait, and Collective Soul. Of course the thread listed Iron Maiden's Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner. I already had that in my Tunes List as well as the popular Runnin' Down a Dream by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. My thanks goes to the many contributors to this thread.

Also, from iTunes' Top Tunes and Albums and New Releases: I found walkables and runnables by Colbie Caillat, Cobra Starship, Trey Songz, and Stars of Track and Field.

JogTunes Posts New Running Music - Mostly Coming from the UK

2009-08-03T17:56:00.000-07:00

Two themes dominate our latest additions to our running music database. Here they are on the 2nd page of the JogTunes Tunes Lis t.

British Artists

I have a British connection. My son lives in Bristol. All the more reason that I posted a bevy of artists from the UK who join other Brits on our list including Coldplay, Amy Winehouse, Oasis, The Killers, and Gorillaz. We added walkable and runnable tunes by Lily Allen, The Streets, The Specials, Duffy, Take That, and Kasabian.

Twitter Sources

A Twitter search under "running music" revealed some great posts about running to music. One tweet suggested The Maine and we posted "Into Your Arms" by The Maine which runs at 181.

Another tweet said rather poetically: "Drops of rain in the wind suitably coolant this morning; and Andy Sheppard's Movements in Colour proved good running music." We agree and posted "May Song" for a nice run at 162.

A more brief tweet: "Toadies = new favorite running music" resulted in our listing "I come from the Water" for another gentle run at 161.

And Here's Peter's Picks

Peter Andersson is our veteran contributor of great running music and an insightful commentator. From his master list of the top 50 we posted Halford's "The One You Love to Hate," running fast at 183. Check out Peter's great comment about Halford on Peter's site. It's #18 on his list.

From Peter's latest posting on his site we found The Motion Sick and their easy jogging tune, "30 Lives (Up-Up-Down-Dance Mix)."

JogTunes Presents a New Podcast Episode #35

Two years ago, on episode #5 I featured mostly woman singers. Now, on my new episode #35, it’s the men’s turn; well, mostly men. The exception is MAMMÚT from iceland. The genres are mixed with a bit of a lean toward alternative. Some of the lyrics are quite extraordinary. I welcome your opinions about the theme and tune mix. Please send them to comments at jogtunes.com or post them on my Twitter or Facebook pages.

We return to the 30 + 15 minute format with a 30 minute sequenced run followed by a sprint segment that peaks at 184 with a tune by Jimmy Mancus.

JogTunes and the Fitnio Exercise Tracker iPhone App

2009-07-07T19:28:00.000-07:00

Robby, a member of the Fitnio iPhone exercise tracking team app, recently introduced me to their program. Their uniqueness? Running music playlist integration. That means you can set up a playlist to use whenever you run. The app uses the built in GPS for tracking. It can be interfaced with their website, fitnio.com, for map acquisition, history, goal tracking, and more.

Check out the screen shot. Here's the info on music integration. And here's their blog.

This is one impressive app. When you launch it, don't forget to get your running music from jogtunes.com or load up our podcast episodes.

And shoot them a comment and tell them I sent you.

A Running Music Tribute to Michael Jackson and More On JogTunes.com

2009-07-06T22:00:00.000-07:00

Contrast abounds in our latest listings on JogTunes.com. The range goes from Sinatra (my pick) to Static-X (Peter's Pick), and from Michael Bublé (my pick) to Lacrimas Profundere (Peter's pick). The BPMs are from 142 to 156.

Then there's our small tribute to Michael Jackson. You can walk to "Billie Jean", jog to "Beat It", and run to "Call on Me".

Finally, Spinal Tap is Back from the Dead (album title). We posted "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight." It hauls at 180.

Check out Peter Andersson's latest insights into great running music on his website.

A New JogTunes Indie Podcast Episode Is Up for Running

2009-06-30T20:45:00.000-07:00

Another episode of The JogTunes Indie Podcast is up for working out.

Exactly one year ago, on episode #22, all of the tunes I played were in the limited BPM range of the 150s. I recently received a compliment about that show from Michael on the JogTunes Facebook fan page. That prompted me to produce another single BPM range show. I chose the 160s because I believe most runners find it a comfortable range for working out. Some people may consider adding this episode to the 150s episode to create a very pleasant 80 minute, extended session. I welcome feedback about single range episodes and the concept of daisy chaining those shows. Please send your comments to comments at jogtunes.com or to my Twitter or Facebook pages.

You can check it out here on this Odeo Player.

There are more show notes and the playlist with BPMs on our podcast home page.

Enjoy your next run!

A new podcast episode and 11 new tunes hit the jogtunes lineup. Show #33 is a diverse genre mix of tunes gleaned serendipitously from the emails sent by artists and promoters.

Disco is coming bit by bit to jogtunes.com, by request of some listener/joggers. The tempos are ideal for fast walking and slow jogging. See 2 tunes on the latest list on my home page.

And Eminem has returned with Relapse. Another great album for working out, we posted three tunes on the list.

Peter Andersson's latest contributions include tunes by Pink Cream 69 (BPM 156) and Street Legal (BPM 148). You can sample and order them through links in the jogtunes.com home page tunes list.

2009-03-04T23:16:00.000-08:00

They're sequenced by beats-per-minute (BPM) from warm-up to cool-down with a whole lot of paced running in between.

Check out the podcast page of my website, jogtunes.com, for details.

I also posted tunes by Grammy nominees and winners. You can find them listed in the Tunes List on the home page and the Tunes tab, between and including Sheryl Crow and Coldplay.

JogTunes Adds More Peter's Picks and a Christmas Playlist

2008-12-09T22:08:00.000-08:00

Happy Holidays everyone! Here's the latest on JogTunes.com:

I published a new playlist of 11 Christmas tunes for a perfect holiday workout. The BPMs start at a fast walk at 128, and peak at a fast 183. The cool down is a slower walk at 113 with Soulful Christmas by James Brown. You can get the whole package as an iMix on iTunes (US only) or order individual tunes from the playlist's page to fit your personal playlist needs.

I also just added more great music for paced running and other workouts. Peter Andersson's Picks for this month include many great metal tracks.

They'll be on the home page of jogtunes.com until the next update. After that, just use the artist search feature.

You can find a great write up of Bif Naked's "Let Down" here.

And here's Peter's great commentary about Dream Evil's "Doomlord" sent to me by email:

"Swedish metal with a twist, the name of the song is a deliberate maltranslation pun on the name of a local bird, and the spoken part (which I assume is meant to sound possessed or something like that to non-Swedes) is actually about ornithology! They must have had great fun writing this one!

If you have an MP3 player, I've got Amazon/MP3 links for your convenience. If you continue to shop on Amazon after going there from a jogtunes link, I'll get commissions from your purchases. This is an easy way to help support jogtunes.com and my podcast, The JogTunes Indie Podcast.

Peter Andersson has again provided JogTunes with a great list of his new favorite running tunes. Here are two songs with quotes from his email. We posted both on our home page's new tunes list. Here's Peter's website for more great tunes.

Tanita Tikaram - Good tradition (Pop) - 154 - British pop from the late 80s or early 90s.

Lostprophets - Last summer (Pop) - 151 - My favourite song by them so far

Jim Webster's new site, podwogging.com, is a great source of tunes for working out exactly to the beat. From his list we posted Private Idaho (Live at the Roxy) by the B-52's. It rocks at 168. They're both on the jogtunes.com home page.

I just published the latest episode of the JogTune Indie Podcast. It's subtitled "Reggae Rules." Five of the 12 songs are of that genre. It's really fun to workout to reggae. Give it a try and tell me what you think at comments at jogtunes.com.

JogTunes Posts Running Music by Jack Johnson, Queensrÿche, Grammy Nominees, and More

2008-02-09T20:46:00.000-08:00

This week, our veteran contributor, Peter Andersson, has come through with many new great tunes for running and other music-paced, BPM exercise. From his list I posted tracks by Samael, Prince, Queensrÿche, Metric, and The Libertines. Please check out these tunes on the new song listing on the home page of jogtunes.com. The BPMs range from 144 to 161. And go to Peter's fine website for more running tunes and great commentary about them.

On the iTunes Music Store, I learned about Jack Johnson's new album, Sleep Through the Static. The most runnable tunes from this album are Hope, If I Had Eyes, and the title tune, Sleep Through the Static. The BPMs are 173, 185 , and 140 respectively.

Before He Cheats, a country tune by Carrie Underwood, was nominated for a Grammy. It runs at a leisurely 148 and can also be found on our new tune list. Amy Winehouse's Rehab was also nominated and has been on my list for awhile. You can search for it under artist search at jogtunes.com.

I also posted Like a Star, which walks at 123 BPM. It's Corinee Bailey Rae's nominated tune for a Grammy.

Ok Go has an album that caters to exercisers. It's Master the Treadmill with Ok Go and can be found by clicking on Get Over It on our new tunes list. It runs at 186. I also posted another tune by Ok Go. It's Here It Goes Again from their album, Ok No. It's a leisurely workout at 146 BPM.

And from the UK come two bands with songs on our runnables list. I added The Game to our Faithless tunes. The Klaxons are new to JogTunes. I posted Totem on the Timeline and Golden Skans, running at 169 and 143.

Cyclists can learn more about safe biking to the beat on my website, BikeToTheBeat.com and all exercisers may find it fun and motivating to work out to my podcast episodes. There are 17 of them. You can find them on the podcast's iTunes page and at jogtunesindie.com.

I recently tried working out on a mini-trampoline and must admit that it's a great way to exercise indoors to music. You have to lift your legs fairly high to get your heart rate going but it certainly minimizes the impact on your knees.

Best of music-paced working out to everyone.

The JogTunes Group posts a new podcast episode and new running music

2008-01-29T11:41:00.000-08:00

This is the week for the alternative genre at JogTunes. My latest episode (#17) accentuates the alternative with more that the usual tunes of that ilk. Check it out in iTunes or on my podcast site's home page.

After the holidays, downloads of the podcast accelerated to a whopping 4600 per month. I guess everyone's resolved to stay in shape this year.

Alternative's the word on JogTunes.com. I listed tunes by Silverstein and Ween with BPMs from 150 to 160 for some easy-going fun runs and other workouts. Other new bands on the list are Slipknot, The Gap Band, and Bullet for My Valentine. I also added 2 more tunes by Angels and Airwaves from their latest album, I-Empire.

Thanks go to jparkerc and mcdunn34 from the Runner's World Discussion Group, Best Running Playlist EVER, for their suggestions of the Silverstein and The Gap Band tunes respectively.

Peter's pick is The Illusionist by Scar Symmetry. This is one hard driving metal tune that's sure to motivate the laziest runner. Please check out Peter's great comment on this tune on his website. When you go there, scroll down to tune #44.

Don't forget, all of the music, podcasts, and playlists can be used for indoor cycling, aquarunning, stairmaster, elliptical, and even minitrampoline. If you have waterproof audio gear (e.g. http://h2oaudio.com/products.php), try the tunes for swimming.

I'm working on an upgrade of the JogTunes Group's set of websites. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Please send them to comment at jogtunes.com.

And, by the way, I put a Donate button on the podcast site, jogtunesindie.com. Please consider supporting my efforts to promote working out to the exact beat of great music and indie artists. You don't need a PayPal account to use their service. If you're interested, I do get affiliate marketing commissions for tunes that are purchased via links from my websites. That's the good news. The bad news is that Apple only pays 5 cents per tune. Granted, the small income from commissions helps a little, but considering the time I spend, it's minimal.

Meanwhile, best of ruuning.

The flagship website is JogTunes.com which lists runnable songs and playlists by signed artists. Associated websites are JogTunesIndie.com, our primary site for our podcast, The JogTunesIndie Podcast, and our most recent JTG addition, BikeToTheBeat.com. The latter is designed for stationary cyclists who enjoy working out to music and pedaling to the beat.

I'm endeavoring to combine these sites into one site to allow more interaction and accessibility. I welcome your comments at comments@jogtunes.com.

I just added more tunes to our Tunes List. Jeff sent in a fine list of runnable songs, all BPM rated. From his list I picked Aerosmith's Pink and Some Unholy War by Amy Winehouse, both in the 170s BPM. Here's his personal website.

Susan's extensive BPM rated list provided me with 2 songs by Blues Traveler and 2 by John Mellencamp with BPMs ranging in the 150s to 180s. Susan's an active aquarunner. Here's her website.

I found KT Tunstall's new album Drastic Fantastic on the iTunes Music Store's new music list. You'll find 3 songs by her on our list. The BPMs are 122, 142, and 155.

Peter, our veteran contributor, pointed me to The Donnas' new album, Bitchin'. You can practically BPM-pace walk and run to the entire album. I selected 5 runnable songs ranging in BPMs from 143 to 170.

Another Peter's Pick on the list is *NSYNC's Bye, Bye, Bye. It runs at 173.

Thanks Jeff, Susan, and Peter, for your generous contributions.

I also just added the single, Radio Nowhere, from Bruce Springsteen's new album, Magic, coming out soon. The BPM is a leisurely 140.

I encourage you to go to Peter's great website for his fine list of running songs with BPM ratings and commentary.

My 13th episode of the JogTunesIndie Podcast is up for running. Please check it out at jogtunesindie.com.

Most of the songs are by artists who have been featured on the Association of Music Podcasting members' shows. Please see the above website for details.

It's my first 1 hour episode. It's divided into a 45 minute segment followed by a 15 minute segment.

It's also the first time that I invite stationary cyclists to try pedaling to the podcast songs. The more recent shows have walking tunes in addition to the running segments. This wider range of BPMs lends itself well to cycling. Please see more about cycling to the beat on BikeToTheBeat.com. Please note that I strongly discourage biking to music on the road. The risks are just too great. So please keep it "stationary."

I hope you enjoy the new additions, expanded podcast, and biking perspective. Meanwhile, happy music-paced running (and biking).

Dr. Bob

At jogtunes.com we posted new songs from a great article about running to music. It was published on line in Runner's World. Here's the article link. Almost all of the songs on the first page of the article are runnable. I haven't yet checked the BPMs of the songs on page 2. Thanks, Runner's World, for this great playlist. You can find our list of the songs on our home page. They're songs 2 through 11 in the preview list in the middle column.

JogTunes presents BikeToTheBeat.com and welcomes aquarunners

2007-07-19T21:07:00.000-07:00

We just launched the beta version of BikeToTheBeat.com. Here's what Dr. Bob, our founder, has to say about our new site:

"Like running to the beat of my songs, I found that pedaling to the beat is also fun and motivating. I'm a big jazz fan so I started with some jazz tunes and then decided to use our entire signed artist, running music database as a resource for biking songs.

"I'm totally aware of the risk of wearing a headset and playing music while riding a bike in heavy traffic and even on country roads. That's why the new site addresses stationary cycling, kinetic training, and biking on rollers.

"The prepared playlists that we posted and will add in the future are sequenced for warm-up, full speed, and cool-down segments. The difference between the playlists for running and biking is the BPM range that are used for warming up and cooling down. I'm encouraging the playing of songs in the 90 to 100 BPM range to start and end the workout. This forces cyclists to set the gears (or resistance) higher and encourages more muscle toning. I expect visitors to the site will make there own varied playlists depending on their workout preferences. The possibilities are obviously limitless.

"Spinners will be looking for songs in with tempos equal to 180 to 200 pedal strokes (90 to 100 revolutions) per minute (equal to 180-200 BPMs). We have some songs on the site in the 180 to 190 range and will be adding up to 210 in the future."

We also would like to welcome aquarunners to jogtunes.com. We understand that they enjoy songs in the upper range of BPMs as well. So the addition of tunes in the 190-200 BPM range will address their needs as well.

New Running Music and a Podcast Episode From JogTunes

2007-07-01T20:39:00.000-07:00

At jogtunes.com we continue to consult the Runner's World Discussion thread, Best Running List EVER, for great running music. Here's the link for the latest entries. As usual, consistent with our mission to find music with BPMs in the walking, jogging and running range, we posted songs by artists recently listed by the forum's members. Shera2316 sent the thread a great list. Here's a breakdown of what we found on her list and some songs we added:

Timbaland - The Way I Are (BPM 115 - a nice walking pace) and we added Oh Timbaland at 146 for an easy run)
Rise Against - Prayer (151 - a nice run)
Paula DeAnda - Easy (122 - a quick walk - good for warming up) and we added Walk Away (157)
My Chemical Romance - Famous Last Words (at 122) and we had already posted I'm Not Okay (I Promise) (at 181 - a flat out run)
Fall Out Boy - Thnks Fr Th Mmrs (153)
Papa Roach - Forever (108 - an easy walk - good for cooling down) and we added Scars for a flat out run at 181)
+44 - When Your Heart Stops Beating was on her list and ours (at 171 - a perfect run tempo)
Breaking Benjamin - The Diary of Jane (another perfect run at 168)
Three Days Grace - Animal I Have Become (125) and we added Pain (160)
30 Seconds to Mars - Attack (another great run at 174)
DJ 4Motion - We Are Back (a good light jog at 145)

Rabbit76 mentioned how much he likes Flyleaf and rik_117 agreed and specifically mentioned Cassie by Flyleaf. Coincidentally we just posted Cassie (169) and All Around Me (148).

Also, by chance, my son suggested songs by The Strokes and we posted Reptilia (159). Then we found it on rik_117's list.

Peter's Pick for this week is Coming Undone by Korn. It's new on his list at number 53. Please go to Peter's great website for a fine review of this tune.

New Running Music by Nirvana, Hedda Layne, Eminem, ZZ Top and More

2007-06-19T16:56:00.000-07:00

Members of the Nike Forum thread called "What is your favorite POWER song?" consistently post great power songs. For runners who enjoy running to the exact tempos of their music we posted 2 runnable tunes from this thread that fit the running range of 140 to 190 BPM. Thanks, bribel, for Nirvana's Breed. It runs at 162 BPM. Thanks also to ready to rock for We're Not Gonna To Take It by Twisted Sister. It runs at 150. Our opinion is power-type songs don't have to be fast, just motivating. Apparently, these thread members agree.

Runner's World Discussion members also continue to post their favorite running songs and playlists. Here's the link for the latest entries. We posted 3 tunes that are in the BPM range for great running. One member, slammin, suggested the Nevermind album by Nirvana as a great source of running music. In addition to Breed (see above) we posted Stay Away from the same album. The BPM is 167. Member jwwade likes Lose Yourself from Eminem's 8 Mile soundtrack. It runs at an ideal 171. For flat out running at 182 BPM, run1119 offered Tusk by Fleetwood Mac. You've got to check that one out. A big thanks to the Runner's World members for their suggestions.

For fast walkers and runners who like warm-ups we added more tunes in the 120s BPM range. Hedda Layne and Troy Lee Warden are a husband and wife duo and label artists now living in Dallas. We present two of their latest, very impressive works that both walk at a vigorous 128 steps-per-minute.

Peter's Picks for this week are classics. How could you not enjoy running at 151 to Soul Doctor by Foreigner and at 158 to ZZ Top's Got Me Under Pressure. Please go to Peter's great website for more great BPM (and steps-per-minute) ratings and reviews of runnable tunes. Our thanks again go to Peter for his invaluable contributions.

This week we turned to the Nike+ Forums where we found the thread: "What is your favorite power song?" (http://forums.nike.com//thread.jspa?threadID=220&start=195&tstart=0).
Of course, we may be biased, but we feel that any power song should be a song with a tempo that matches your favorite and most exhilarating running pace. Although some of the songs suggested by Nike+ Forum contributors didn't fit that description, we found some perfect power-type songs among the readers' posts. Please check the JogTunes.com
home page left column for details.

We welcome a new contributor to JogTunes.com. Kathy, from Canada, posted a great BPM-rated running music list on her blog: (http://fiftykm.blogspot.com/2007/03/running-music-1.html). We posted three of her songs.

Steve, from Texas, is another new contributor. His website: (http://www.treadmillmusic.com/index1.htm) gave us four songs for our tunes list.

Recently, several contributors to Derek's long-running thread, "best running music?" have posted new running music lists.as comments. We consulted the lists sent in by Creepy and FancyPants to come up with the latest additions to our Tunes List. The artists include McFly, Garbage, Relient K, Saliva, Static-X, and My Chemical Romance. We look forward to returning to Derek's site for more runnable tunes in the near future.

Want to be a contributor? Please send your BPM rated song list to comments@jogtunes.com. We'll only post your name with your permission.
