PAUSE TO THINK

Why do running playlists often target around 160-180 BPM?

Around 160-180 steps per minute.

Matching the music's beat to your step rate makes it easier to lock into a steady rhythm. Tracks near **180 BPM** put one step on each beat; slower **90 BPM** songs still work, with one step every other beat.
