SPOTIFY LAUNCHES RUNNING MODE FOR PREMIUM USERS

Running Mode matches songs to your desired beats per minute (BPM), eliminating time spent searching for the right workout soundtrack. The feature offers customizable running presets and optional coaching elements to help users focus on their workout rather than music selection. The launch extends Spotify's growing fitness push. Earlier this year, the company partnered with Peloton to integrate music into the connected fitness platform. Spotify has also introduced complementary features like User Notes, which allows listeners to add personal captions to songs—such as why a track was added to a playlist or when they discovered it. Running Mode is currently limited to iOS users in select markets, suggesting a broader rollout may follow.
