Adding a few remixes to your running playlist can provide two distinct advantages:
#1. If a song was popular enough to warrant a remix, there’s a good chance you already know it. To that end, an alternate version can take a tune you already like and make it sound new again.
#2. Because remixes are generally geared toward the dancefloor—and getting bodies in motion—they’ll often raise the tempo of the original by a few beats-per-minute. This little boost can do wonders in the context of a workout mix as well.
