Need new tunes to work out to? If you’re a runner, cyclist or walker, jog.fm helps you find just the right music for your pace. “Dog Days Are Over” by Florence + The Machine is best for a 6:17/km pace, for example.
(Interestingly, one of my Nike+ Powersongs, “Stronger” by Kanye West is for a 6:58/km pace and I’m (ahem) way faster than that.)
(The Sennheiser OMX70 earphones above were my fave running earphones, btw, until my bad cat–the one who eats just about anything (ie. not the one that insists on organic catnip)–chewed them up).

Melanie (check out her new blog Style and Error) recently asked me about the best music to run to.
Since I also need new music on my iTunes to run to (I’ve been listening to NKOTB, Backstreet Boys, Lady Gaga, Kanye West and Ladyhawke in shuffle for months now–and I wouldn’t have thunk it possible, but yes, one can indeed listen to too much New Kids on the Block!), I asked on Twitter what your fave tunes to run to are. Here’s what some of you are listening to:
- Runaway Baby by Bruno Mars, Doo-Wops and Hooligans.
- Anything from Dookie by Greenday.
- Old World Underground by Metric, Pluto by Bjork, Bullet with Butterfly Wings by Smashing Pumpkins and Zero by Smashing Pumpkins.
- Best of You by Foo Fighters.
- The Fire by The Roots, Daydreaming by Kid Sister, Find a New Way by Young Love, Power by Kanye West.
- Fireworks by Katy Perry, Dynamite by Taio Cruz, In da Club remix featuring 50 Cent, Beyonce and Mary J. Blige. (I suppose I should note that Celine Dion was also mentioned by this runner…no particular song or album, apparently anything by Celine Dion. Yep, for realz).
- Kitten vs Pegasus by Windom Earl (http://tinyurl.com/689nn7g)
Happy running!

Tuning into some Celine Dion may help you find love faster if you tend to be picky about who you date. French researchers have found that women were more likely to give a man they considered “average” their digits after having listened to a ballad.
