The Open Tabs Playlist Library
Running playlists engineered by BPM to the effort curve of a run. No shuffle. All in one place.
The premise is simple and a little obsessive: a run has an arc, so the music should too. Every playlist here is charted by BPM against the minutes of the run — built to carry you through the part where your legs start negotiating. I run on them myself before you ever see them, and I refresh them every season so they don’t go stale.
Start here — free:
Go Run — No Shuffle — the 40:56 starter. A warm-up, a long steady plateau, a deliberate mid-run dip so you don’t redline, then the climb to a 166-BPM peak and a finish you can ride out · Free.
The full library — paid:
The seasonal library — tempo days, long runs, and the marathon-block playlists — lives behind the paywall and refreshes every 3–4 months. Each new drop gets added right here as it lands.
Long Run — No Shuffle · 26 tracks · 87:52 — The Long Run, Solved: 90 Minutes That Carry You — A no-shuffle hour-and-a-half engineered for the run where pacing is everything.
Tempo — No Shuffle · 13 tracks · 42:12 — Tempo Day: One Gear, Held Honest — A flat 42 minutes that locks you into threshold and refuses to let you drift.
Easy Miles — No Shuffle · 12 tracks · 44:19 — Easy Miles: The Run That Protects the Other Runs — Forty-four slow minutes engineered to keep you honest about easy day actually being easy.
