I’ve recently found trance music to be an easy way to run about 10% faster than usual without any additional effort. Trance music is known for having a tempo between 130 and 160 bpm, which is about the heart rate range I like to run. It must be something about the match in tempo with my heart rate that makes me run about 1 to 2 minutes/mile faster than when I listen to something like an audiobook. I found a nice podcast of trance music on iTunes by searching for Trance. Now I have a weekly 2 hour set of new music to run with.

I would also bet that you could use this music at work to really crank out some widgets when necessary. I’ll try and report on this in the future.
