Spotify’s Running Mode is giving Android users another reason to go Premium

Spotify’s Running Mode is giving Android users another reason to go Premium

Spotify's Running Mode for Android is now available, giving Premium users the ability to create customized playlists specifically for their running workouts. The feature allows users to tailor workouts, genres, music discovery and BPM, and choose between familiar songs, new music, Beat Matching, and optional Audio Coaching. Running Mode is currently available in select markets such as Canada and the US, but requires a Spotify Premium subscription.

For avid gym-goers like myself, finding the perfect workout music can be as challenging as the physical exertion itself. Some days call for high-energy beats to power through heavy lifting, while other days require a more soothing soundtrack to keep calm and collected. Similarly, Running Mode caters to the unique needs of runners, ensuring that the right music enhances their experience. Spotify introduced this feature for iOS late in July, and now Android users can enjoy it as well.

Upon launching Running Mode, users are presented with 25 presets to choose from. These presets serve as a starting point for customization, allowing users to further refine their playlists based on workout type (interval, steady, pyramid, and more), workout duration, and beats per minute. Additionally, the feature divides workout types into genres, enabling users to fine-tune their playlists with precision.
