Over the next few days we will be reviewing the iTunes running and sporting music/training mix collection. Our goal is to help you to compare your own interests with your desire to improve your running or sporting stamina and endurance.

Since 2006 iTunes has put together 12 music and training compilations for running with various athletes and artists. This article reviews these compilations. Some things to compare are the artists tastes, the length of the music/training audio, and the year of production to give a sense of progression (if it matters to you).
