Intervals: First Day to 5K
Mixed by DJ BeatSmith, this first 27-minute
set is said to be a great introduction to the world of interval
training to start you on your path to a nonstop 5K run! Graham
Cairns (who's into the DJ Steveboy stuff) says there are no VERBAL
cues to change from walking to running - but a very noticeable
musical cue ... and the bpm changing from an obvious jogging speed
to an obvious walking one.

C25K Podcasts: No Music
The difference between this and Robert Ullrey's
is that there is no music track, only audio cues of when to run
and when to walk. This means you can run without music or add
your own playlist in Garageband or any other audio recording software
so you can run with your favourite songs or podcasts. This is what I used to create my podcast.
Go Nicole Yourself
A good mix, but a little heavy on the hip-hop/90's tunes. Also, it takes several clicks to actually get to the downloads and even though you're not, it seems like you're downloading some bad virus or something.
Suz's Podcast
Mostly hip-hop, but some pop and 80's.
Cubby Jones Podcast
Mostly music you've never heard of, but it's pretty good, just not those songs you can sing along to.
