"He's going the distance, He's going for speed."
I have a playlist that I jog to in my 769's. Starting off mild, working up to a faster pace and then slowing at the end for a cool down period. During my most recent jog, paying special attention to lyrics from one of my favorites reminded me to post something very cool, actually 2 "somethings". First, I came across a very cool website that can map out a good pace with music if you are like me and are motivated best by rhythm. The website is jogtunes.com. You can find a great variety set up to satisfy the most eclectic tastes in music. It also explains the reasoning behind choosing a playlist with similar BPM's and so on. Very cool.
Runners note: If you are "going for speed" look into the 805. If you are "going for distance" check out the 1123.

Second something. The song that jogged my memory is as the title of this blog suggests, "Going the Distance". (I have this song and some other great ones to jog to listed below in a playlist. Starting at the top with a milder tempo, working up to a faster pace or more BPM's, Beats Per Minute.) My music and I are partners in motivating me to a steady pace. The lyrics in this particular song reminded me of another partnership with a much faster pace. NASCAR's Joe Gibbs Racing has entered a partnership with New Balance Athletic Shoe Inc. to supply the crews for each of its three Sprint Cup Series teams and two Nationwide Series teams with a specialized shoe designed specifically to improve the performance of pit crew members as they go over the wall. So New Balance will be keeping the pit crew on their toes while they keep their drivers on the road. Check out the full story here.  If you have a favorite song that motivates your pace leave a comment. I'd love to hear it!
"Because you're racing and pacing and plotting the course."
