Check out jog.fm for songs broken down by bpm or minutes/mile. I made my playlist off that site
eta: My favorite song on my playlist is Holding out for a hero by Bonnie Tyler0 -
Honestly I might sound crazy when I say this but with preparing to inlist in the army I run to military cadences. Only to keep up with the beat and not go sprinting and get winded when I'm done0

These all pretty much have the same BPM and they're pretty rocking, so they get me going.0 -

Something I love to do (although it is time consuming) is to make copies of songs I like to run to and then shorten them to 1 minute lengths. That way you just get the best, most upbeat part of the song. I have a short attention span when I run so keeping my music changing helps with that.0
