This new mode cues up songs based on the different phases of your run and selects tracks based on your preferences and desired tempo. Instead of just shuffling a playlist and hoping the BPM lines up with your cadence, it builds a run around your effort structure: warmup, work intervals, recovery, cooldown. On top of the music, it layers in audio cues at key moments of the run, so you're getting something closer to a coached session, like Nike Run Club is known for.
How to find and use Spotify's Running Mode
Once you're in running mode, you first pick a workout type: Just Run, Easy Runs, Interval, Pyramid, or Long and Advanced. Then you choose a music genre. For me, the options were pop, hip-hop, EDM, rock, and R&B.

More genre options showed up at this stage, including house, Latin, classical, and country. There's also a "discovery slider," so I pushed mine to 75% toward new music.
Toggled on using a target BPM for song selection, set it to 180, and also turned on "adjust song speed to match exactly," though after my test run, I'm not sure what this was supposed to do exactly.
Why Spotify's Running Mode is a great training tool
I thoroughly enjoyed my test run with this new feature today, even though I was supposed to be resting. Beyond the novelty, I think this is a genuinely good tool for runners trying to sharpen their internal sense of pace. Locking music tempo to target cadence gives you something to run alongside, and effort structures like pyramids force you to notice how your stride changes as intensity shifts. The audio coaching reminded me of what I've always liked about Nike Run Club: form cues and, more often than not, reminders to slow down, which is advice most runners need more than they know.
One note worth remembering: the coach isn't actually responding to you in real time—it's all pre-set according to your workout preferences. Still, I approve of these built-in settings. The only real miss was that 210 bpm cooldown track. Everything else about the pacing logic tracked, which made that one outlier stand out more.
My favorite piece of coaching advice was to lock into the kick drum. I tried it during "Misery Business" by Paramore, and according to my Garmin Forerunner 970, I was running at exactly 180 bpm. Even if runners don't love the songs that Spotify selected for them (although I had no complaints personally), I'd still recommend this feature as a fun way to perfect your inner metronome and practice pacing before race day.
