I'm Steve Boyette, and this is PodRunner.

Hey everybody, welcome to PodRunner.

This week you've got an hour at 121 beats per minute, called PowerStroll.

PodRunner's last mix was a 141 BPM mix called Keyed Up.

It was an experiment in raising the musical key with every new track,

to give an emotional lift and raise the energy even more than usual.

It's a technique that's used by a lot of club DJs, and since I'm pretty sure that we all

want as much energy as we can get in our training, I thought I'd give that a try.

The reaction from listeners was really positive, so I'm using the same technique in this mix.

I'm definitely interested in hearing if you think there is more energy and a kind of emotional

uplift going on here. You can always email me at Steve at podrunner.com and let me know.

Or visit the podrunner website to send me an email, check out the mixes playlist,

or make a one-time or small monthly contribution so that I can keep coming up with new mixes and

approaches to help your workout be more efficient and more fun. Not to mention commercial free,

which we all agree is a good thing. At this speed, the energy build-up isn't as dramatic as

the faster mixes, and you'll start out with Nicholas Navarro's Retro Magic Message,

which feels to me like a track just made to get you going on a power walk.

After that, you'll travel through a lot of dance music styles and artists, with great work

from Yudi Watanabe, Zauber acoustic, Spectrasonic, and Alex believe, a great ending track from

approximate and more. In fact, I'm going to get out of the way right now so that this music can

do its thing and take you on a power stroll for an hour at 121 BPM on podrunner. Have a terrific

workout, have fun, and keep going!
