Music is the great fitness motivator, and the faster the beat, the faster you move. If you're looking for an entire playlist that offers non-stop, fixed tempo music for your running, walking, or cycling workouts, check out Podrunner.
The site offers free workout playlists to help keep your pace constant, with ranges between 152 to 181 beats per minute. Podrunner also has mixes designed for interval training. You can download these music mixes online or through iTunes, and the MP3 files can be played on most digital music players. The playlists are all electronica, and the music is energetic and upbeat. Best of all, it's free.

Oh my gosh! This is amazing, thank you. I'm still pretty new with a Nike+ so this will be great. There's so much choice for BPM mixes though - from 130 all the way to 180... how do I know which is best to run to? Is it a case of painful trial-and-error?
1Podrunner seems ok at first; free music, what's not to like?
2But I'm pretty picky about what kind of music I like and I have to really LIKE what I'm listening to in order to be motivated, I don't care how fast or slow it is. I did try this podcast but it just wasn't for me.
I used to like Podrunner, but I met the guy that does the podcast and he's a giant, giant A-hole. Just most conceited than anyone I'd even met. His personality was so terrible, that I can't even enjoy this podcast anymore - so I stopped listening to it.
3You can sort of tell that he's a bit of a dick just from looking at his website. Although he's a DJ and they do tend to be dicks anyway. Personaly I can't handle all of the license free trance crap that he uses in his mixes. Those artists remain unsigned for a reason.
4It is NOT free, it is a scam, to get you to pay a buck a song, for music from people you never even heard of, and who couldn't sell a song any other way.
