90 BPM

The ChiRunning folks recommend running at 9 beats per minute. By this, they mean having one foot at 90 BPM. This feels fast for most people. I grabbed a drum machine and did a 10 minute clip of kick/snare at 90 BPM for starting off. It worked pretty well today. I've actually made a couple of click tracks. Just finished making one with an online metronome. This one is in waltz time @ 60 BMP (which will still be a cadence of 90 BPM if you alternate right/left--see the article in the first ChiRunning link).

Then I kicked into my new all-Stooges runnning mix. Man, running with Iggy is pretty fun.

I'm not sure that an entire run with a click track. The 10 minute track I have should work for setting tempo at the beginning (and I can return to it later in a run).
