Spotify has brought its Running Mode feature, developed for users who want to personalize their running workouts, to the Android platform. Previously available to iOS users, this feature is now actively available on Android devices in many regions.

This new tool, which combines the running experience with music, is offered exclusively to Spotify Premium subscribers. Users can take advantage of a wide range of customizations to create playlists suitable for their workout routines.

Personalized Running Experience

Running Mode allows users to choose from 25 different presets. Following these selections, playlists can be more precisely adjusted based on details such as workout type, duration, and beats per minute (BPM).

Exercise types include options such as interval, steady, and pyramid. Users can choose to focus on familiar music in their playlists or listen to new, undiscovered tracks.

The Prompted Playlist integration allows users to request playlists in their own words. For example, a custom list of long-lost favorite songs or short tracks can be easily created.

Favorite mixes can be saved for later listening. Additionally, the optional voice coaching feature provides guidance and motivation during running.

The Beat Matching feature helps maintain tempo by adjusting music speeds according to the target BPM. These tools offer a comprehensive experience for those who want to support their running performance with music.

Availability and New Features

Running Mode is currently available to Premium subscribers in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and Sweden. To use the feature, users simply need to visit the Fitness center in the Spotify app.

Spotify has also introduced the Playlist Notes feature along with Running Mode. This new addition allows users to add personal notes to music, podcast episodes, and audiobooks.

Playlist Notes aims to help users remember which content they added to their playlists. These two new features from Spotify aim to make music listening habits more organized and personalized.
