How to run to 180 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.

Is 180 steps per minute a good cadence?

It suits the famous 180 steps per minute, a quick and light stride. 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 180 BPM running songs only 90 BPM?

A song at 90 BPM has a strong beat every second step: you land one foot on each beat, and both feet together still make 180 steps a minute. Hip-hop and reggaeton often work this way.
