Spotify has introduced a new Running Mode for Premium subscribers on iOS in select countries including the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and Sweden.

Users in these regions with an iPhone can access the feature via the Fitness Hub. Running Mode offers 25 curated playlists that can be personalized by workout type, duration, beats per minute, and music genre. Once started, Spotify provides a tailored soundtrack designed to adapt to the user's run.

The playlists are engineered to "seamlessly move through tracks" for a "more fluid, motivating soundtrack." Additionally, the feature includes optional audio cues in English, described as a "supportive friend running alongside you," offering guidance and motivation without interrupting the music. The company noted the popularity of fitness prompts in its Prompted Playlists, indicating a growing demand for personalized workout experiences.
