Spotify Running is a new feature that matches the music to your pace by delivering a faster tempo when you start running harder and faster. Spotify detects your tempo when you start running with the iPhone and transitions to higher or lower beats per minute as your pace changes.

Choose from genre-based playlists or originals that include a variety of artists and settings to motivate you while you run. Here’s a look at the current Spotify Running Originals lineup.

Running Originals – music specifically designed for running that dynamically adapts to your running tempo. A total of six original tracks, all found within Spotify Running, are available at launch. We’re also introducing a range of exclusive content, from Dance Move of the Day produced by Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls brand, to specially curated radio shows presented by artists including Icona Pop, Jungle and Tyler the Creator

Spotify includes these playlists with the Running feature and will start as you begin to run.

Spotify also includes news and entertainment options that you can listen to including, “ABC, BBC, Comedy Central, Condé Nast Entertainment, ESPN, Fusion, Maker Studios, NBC, TED, and Vice Media.”
