Sometimes you need speed. It’s a great way to mix things up, add strength and burn some extra calories during your runs. But reaching high velocity sometimes requires a little help. You’ll feel the lungs burning and the legs protesting a little sooner, so you need to be prepared with some sonic fuel. We’ve put together a playlist of high-energy, uptempo songs to keep you on track for those days when you want to go fast. It’s the kind of soundtrack that just might propel you through the rest of the day too.

Paper Romance
These guys have been making great uptempo running songs since “I See You Baby” and they haven’t taken their foot off the pedal yet. This is a perfect track to start off the run, but remember to try and hit the half-beats!

Memories
House music has a certain power over people. It makes ‘em dance. This new single is laced with those thunking four-on-the-floor beats, adding a great chorus that pumps the pulse.

Out of the Blue
To go fast, it’s important to strip things down to the essentials. This track does it with a simple upbeat rhythm and instantly memorable melody. Rock it!

Man of Steel
“I’ll break your cage and go running free!” An amazing, high-paced track from a great voice of modern music —gone way too soon.

Twerk
Back into the electro world we go, with a dance floor anthem that begs for some serious sprinting. And where have I heard that sample before? Keep up for the whole song and you will have to ice your quads tonight.

Double Down Under
Time to pick up the pace a little with a new track by the legendary dance duo Crystal Method. We love these guys so much, we had them make a running mix for us and it ended up being our most popular Nike+ Original Mix!

Take It In
Again, this one is all about the half-beats. In other words, let your feet find a pace that strikes between and on every heavy 4X4 beat. And get into those ‘80s-style synths, this is your last track!
