Legendary distance running coach Jack Daniels analyzed the stride of many elite runners, and he found that they almost all took 180 steps per minute (or 90 steps with each leg). Since this revelation, 180 has become the bullseye pace. To hit this number, runners usually need to take more steps—most people have a bouncy stride, which wastes energy and strains joints through excessive impact.
You don’t need to run with a metronome to measure the 180 beats per minute (BPM) tempo. The right songs do the counting for you. Now, you won’t find a lot ofallegrissimo songs set to 180 beats per minute. But you will find a gazillion songs in the ballpark of 90 BPM range. Those can work just as well to keep you right near the 180 BPM rate. (Really, any pace from 170 to 190 BPM will do.) Here’s how to find the right types of tunes.
