How to run to 170 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 170 steps per minute?

1100 по Фаренгейту by Регина Тодоренко, Risk It All by Bruno Mars, Se Preparó by Ozuna, Armee der Tristen by Rammstein and the other 35 songs on this page all have a beat at 170 BPM or exactly half of it.

Is 170 steps per minute a good cadence?

It suits the steady cadence many coaches suggest for most runners. 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 170 BPM running songs only 85 BPM?

A song at 85 BPM has a strong beat every second step: you land one foot on each beat, and both feet together still make 170 steps a minute. Hip-hop and reggaeton often work this way.
