Best Running Music: 160 bpm songs

by John on January 3, 2009

Songs that are between 155 and 164 bpm. Some of these songs are not on any of our “best running music playlists” because they do not meet one or two of the following criteria: 1) about running, 2) inspirational, and/or 3) fun and with a great beat. BUT, there is still some killer music here and if you are looking to add to your running or fitness playlist…enjoy!

See Bold Pace Music home page for over 30 hrs of additional songs.
