Hey everybody Steve Boyette here. I like to run at about 165 beats per minute.

Podrunners got three mixes at 165 which is great but after a couple of months I

definitely want some new mixes at that speed and that's where the podrunner shift

app for iPhone and iPod touch comes. I use it to download any available

fixed-paced podrunner mix and play it at my preferred speed so instead of three

mixes I've got a hundred and thirty that I can play at any speed I want to go and the speed change is

instantaneous I just pick my mix pick my speed and go and yeah I use the intro skip button too. Potrunner shift for iPhone and iPod touch

is a dollar ninety nine at the iTunes App Store. door. an hour at 185 beats per minute called Scattershot.

This one's for you seriously competitive runners who are looking to take it up one more

notch on speed and endurance.

This makes us the first time I've relied on tracks that were

recorded at half the mix's speed. What that means is that when you hear the

beat go one, two, three, four, your pace should be one and 2 and 3 and 4, with a foot landing on each count.

You'll start out with a stopwatch sound to help you orient, in case you aren't used to doubling up on the bead.

There's a low-key feeling for about the

first half of the mix to help you conserve energy and then a huge tribal percussive

segment that'll wake you up and lead you to the harder hitting final sections of the mix.

All in all, it's very different from most podrunner mixes.

So feel free to drop me an email at

Steve at podrunner.com, and let me know how it worked for you. And if it does work for you, please consider donating a couple of bucks at podrunner.

So that you can be sure more mixes come your way to help you train.

Now here comes a scattershot approach for just under an hour at 185 beats per minute.
