I'm looking for some more running songs for my playlist. Specifically, I'm looking for songs in the BPM range of 175 +/- 5 or 87 +/- 2.

Probably my favorite on the list right now is The Postal Service - Such Great Heights (175 bpm).

What's your favorite?

    Not sure about the BPM on this one, but Mr. Brightside by The Killers is my favorite song to run to.

    Love that song, but it's a little bit slow for my target stride (it's about 148)

    I like some of the classic's, not much for alot of the new crap these days, mostly cause I'm sick of hearing it. A couple of tunes I like are "Headpins-Don't it make ya feel", "Billy Squier- Everybody wants you", "Def Leppard- Slang" :)

    Ahh what I coincidence! I've been running to their entire Hot Fuss album for the last week now!

    OP--I take it you don't like girly pop like Lady Gaga (her latest ARTPOP album is workout HEAVEN!). In that case I suggest Daft Punk, M83, Phoenix, Young The Giant. Just go to iTunes and any of their top songs will do.

    Also throwbacks like Take On Me by a-ha or Funkytown

    Not a song per se but Podrunner app is terrific for finding target bpm tunes.

    Have you tried any of the running mixes by MotionTraxx or PodRunner? I use their interval stuff, but they have many steady-state mixes too.
