Spotify has rolled out a new "Running Mode" for its Premium subscribers on iOS, aiming to personalize workout audio. The feature, located in the app's Fitness Hub, uses AI to create playlists based on a user's running pace, workout type, and music preferences.
Users can customize sessions by workout type (like interval or pyramid runs), duration, and target beats per minute (BPM). The mode also offers optional, English-language audio cues for motivation and guidance during the workout. This launch is an expansion of Spotify's broader push into fitness, which includes a partnership with Peloton, and comes after the fitness app Strava discontinued its Spotify integration.
