How to run to 160 BPM

Start the playlist once you are warmed up and let your feet fall on the beat, not your breathing. If it feels rushed, take shorter steps rather than slowing the music: a higher cadence with shorter steps is easier on the knees than long, reaching strides. If it feels too slow, try the next page up.

Questions

What songs are good for running at 160 steps per minute?

Self Aware by Temper City, KURVY V POZORU by P T K & Eclipse, Die With A Smile by Lady Gaga, TETTEH by Strat, Arab, Trannos & BeTaf Beats and the other 15 songs on this page all have a beat at 160 BPM or exactly half of it.

Is 160 steps per minute a good cadence?

It suits a relaxed run you can still talk through. Taller runners and slower paces naturally sit lower, so start from the cadence you already run at and raise it by about 5% at a time.

Why are some 160 BPM running songs only 80 BPM?

A song at 80 BPM has a strong beat every second step: you land one foot on each beat, and both feet together still make 160 steps a minute. Hip-hop and reggaeton often work this way.
