Welcome to Podrunner and an hour of driving music at 162 beats per minute called Steadfast.

I'm Steve Boyette and I'm happy to say that we are trying something a little different this

time out.

Listener Aaron Vang wrote in to say that for me the hardest part of the run is actually the first 10 minutes.

I'm not a morning person, I haven't had coffee, my route starts with a steep uphill, has a long flatter middle, and finishes steep downhill.

So I'd love some mixes that put the You Can Do It energy into that first brutal 10 minutes,

and then mellow out for the long middle.

I realize that it would be good to have a whole series of mixes for people who feel the same way that Aaron does.

So, this round of fixed tempo mixes ending on the twos is going to be called the jumpstart mixes.

They'll start your workout with high energy tracks, even out, and then build up again.

Steadfast is a perfect example.

Breakbeat Master Stex gets your motor running

with borderline and you are off and going.

The playlist is fantastic and four of the tracks are available as free downloads.

So take a look at the mix on podrunner.com

or just subscribe to the podrunner newsletter and the links will be emailed directly to you.

You are what keeps Podrunner going because these workout mixes are entirely listener

supported.

Finally, I'll be at this year's massive comic con in San Diego, signing my new novel, Faita Morgana, on Thursday and Friday morning from 10 a.m. to

2.30 p.m. at table 8 a 26. If you're there, stop by and say hi.

All right, let's put a tiger in the tank for an hour at 162 BPM with Steadfast on Podrunner.
