Looking to expand on my playlist with some ideal BPM songs. My current playlist is a mix of cheese, 2000’s Indie and current pop.
The ideal BPM for my stride is A-ha’s Take on Me and would love some more tracks to mix in on this beat.
Has anyone got any favourite running tracks?
Here’s my playlist (I tend to put it on shuffle so it can create a different set each run:
Lizzo -Juice
Fatboy Slim/Beardyman/Calvin Harris - Eat Sleep Rave Repeat
Nicky Minaj - Pound the Alarm
The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger
David Guetta - Titanium
The Whip - Trash
Devo - Whip It
Bloc Party - Banquet
DJ Fresh - Gold Dust
Dizzy Rascal - Bonkers
Calvin Harris - Acceptable in the 80’s
DJ Fresh - Dibby Dibby Sound
The Streets - Fit but you Know It
Scissor Sisters - Filthy/Gorgeous
The Offspring - Pretty Fly
New Order - Blue Monday
Aha - Take On Me
Blur - Song 2
Mark Ronson - Uptown Funk

I mix between late 80s/early 90s dance, indie and rock and that works really well I find. Some suggestions from my playlist:

Paloma Faith - Changing
Chris Brown - Beautiful people
John Newman - Blame
Chemical Brothers - Hey boy hey girl
Strike - You sure do
Oceanic - Insanity
S Express - Superfly guy
Kasabian - Club foot
Chase & Status - Blind faith
Linkin Park - Breaking the habit
Goldfrapp - Ooh la la
Guns N Roses - Welcome to the jungle
INXS - Suicidal blonde
N Trance - Set you free

If you can find out the bpm of the a-ha track and search on you tube, they have loads of similar tracks there.
Happy running.
