One word of caution:
When we use the word "pace", we're not referring to your heart rate. Matching songs to your heart rate may be risky. We are talking about matching tempos of songs to your running pace in steps per minute.
Moderate to fast tempos may motivate you to run at unsafe paces for your health status and/or age. Please consult your physician if you have any medical concerns before running exactly to the beat of moderate and fast tempo songs. Also, it's wise to know the recommended maximum heart rate for your age. If you're new to strenuous exercise, seriously consider wearing a pulse monitor while you run.
Let's make a BPM running playlist:
First calculate your own workout pace in beats-per-minute (= steps per minute). We provide sample pace tracks with instructions to help you do this.
Once you know your workout running or jogging pace, select your tunes from our Tunes list by browsing or using the search fields. The BPM field will help you the most. Click on the links to Rhapsody to listen and download the tunes to music player on your computer. Then make a playlist in your music player and place the tunes in the playlist in whatever order you prefer for your workout session.
Finally, sync your player with your computer's music program and you're up and running. Here's a sample workout sequence to help you out:
