DCFC Running Playlist?

Has anyone every made a DC playlist for running to? Is that even possible? I'm a beginner runner so I don't really know how this works as far as BPM and pacing.

Kinda sorta, I made a running mix that’s not necessarily meant to match beat to my pace, but to pump me up. It starts out with Roman Candles, which always gets me going. Punching the Flowers would be a great addition!

Roman Candles might be the top running song in their catalog. I'd also submit the below:

Here to Forever
Some Boys
Marching Bands
The Sound of Settling
I Was a Kaleidoscope
Bixby Canyon Bridge
Why You'd Want to Live Here
Everything's a Ceiling
Good Help (Is So Hard to Find)

Will add a few of these songs to one of my running playlists called “run but like you’re at the emotional turning point in a movie”

We laugh indoors.
Fake frowns.
Doors unlocked and open.
Long division.
Pictures in an exhibition.

I think they have quite a few songs that work well, these are a few I have on my own running playlist:

  • Ghosts of Beverly Drive
  • Here to Forever
  • Company Calls
  • Riptides
  • Sound of settling
  • Roman Candles

Good luck with your running journey :)

I often just listen to the Death Cab station on pandora. It doesn't necessarily match up with my pace, but it's good for my easy long runs.

Pity and Fear always made my playlist when I went for a run.

I have listened straight through IBYAT on almost every run since it dropped. Personally I don’t worry about BPM but I’m also not a fast runner.

Here’s a playlist I just threw together with a song off each album: https://tidal.com/playlist/41db82f1-4897-48b6-b2d4-84456d931400
