There's an old playlist on my iPod touch (which has yet to succumb to planned obsolescence) called "Running Man" that I've been using during my runs since I was in college 8+ years ago. Most songs match my cadence when running at 7.5-8mph (or ~12kmh if you're like that), or maybe they just hit the right groove. It's pretty easy to see that this list consists of whatever I was listening to at the time that fit the bill, plus a few sparse additions in years after. No, I don't believe every song here is objectively good.
Either way, I would love to see if anyone has any suggestions that would spice up this old mix of mine. Thanks!
#10 is one of my all time fav running albums, 7 and 26 are good too
these days i mostly just listen to minimal drum n bass for running, at ~170bpm it's perfect for the pace you mentioned (especially at night). if youre interested and have spotify, here is a playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/73OmQX2PVkG2uzYvhHiPlP?si=1b94bc69c2ec40fc
