About Beth
I am a freelance writer, based in Pittsburgh, PA, specializing in science and technical topics. Yes, I am available for new writing projects! running music
FitMusic has free downloadable workout music designed for particular BPM ranges. Another site that sells similar mixes has a chart of BPM and running speed. I don't know there's anything to those numbers, but it's worth a try on my next run.
I haven't made a habit of running with music, but I did listen to most of The Areas of My Expertise on last weekend's long run. Here is the device I use - the Sansa Clip. It's the size of a Shuffle, plus it has a nice display, can receive FM radio, and has a built-in mic to do voice recordings (with, amazingly, no background noise). And only $39 at Target for the 1GB model! Highly recommended.

The Hodgman book loses something in the translation to audio for me (must be all those charts) but I like the music.

I have a Sansa e280 ($50 refurbished) that I installed Rockbox on. I highly recommend that, but only with Rockbox also.
