Music that synchs up to specific mile times

steph124ny

In my endeavor to run a 5k in 30 mins, I have been searching out music that has the correct speed to keep the right pace. It's probably just a head game but it works for me!! It doesn't account for the darn uphill portions though....LOL!! My best 5k race time so far was 32 mins, but I'm getting closer. I have found that "Alone" by Heart works well for a 10 minute mile, as does Burn by Elie Goulding. Crazy Train by Ozzie is pretty close. So what songs do you like to listen to while you run to keep a decent pace?

Music makes all the difference in the world to me. Here's some of my favorites on my run playlist:

Go Big or Go Home by American Authors
Best Day of My Life by American Authors
Geronimo by Sheppard
Fight Song by Rachel Platten
Stand by You by Rachel Platten
Could Have Been Me by The Struts
My Body by Young the Giant
America's Sweetheart by Elle King
Jungle by X Ambassadors
Something I Need by OneRepublic
Looking Up by SafetySuit
Some Nights by Fun.
Be Okay by Oh Honey

There's an app called Rock My Run that has music mixes from different genres that are timed for 5k, 10k, HM, and marathon runs. Not only do some of them have bpm set to running paces, you can have the app match the beats to your stride in real time

OMG! Thank you for posting Rock My Run. I just installed it on my phone. It's exactly what I've been looking for.
