Spotify Launches Running Mode With Customizable Playlists and Coaching

Spotify最近推出的跑步模式，让你跑步时不再纠结选歌。这个新功能会根据你的跑步类型、时长和想要的指导程度，自动生成定制歌单，省去挑歌的烦恼，把时间留给运动本身。简单说，就是Spotify帮你当“跑步DJ”。它提供了25个精心编排的歌单，覆盖轻松跑、间歇跑、进阶跑等五种类型，每首歌都标注了每分钟节拍数（bpm），让你能跟着节奏调整步伐。更妙的是，跑着跑着还会有教练语音适时出现，比如在歌曲高潮时提醒你“跟着旋律提提速”。歌单每天自动更新，不会腻，你也可以手动调整时长到30到90分钟，或者下载喜欢的歌单永久保存。对普通人来说，这相当于请了个懂音乐的私人教练。以前跑步要么戴耳机听固定歌单，要么自己手动切歌，现在AI帮你根据步频动态调整，跑得更带劲。加上之前跟健身品牌Peloton的合作，Spotify正逐渐成为你运动时的智能伙伴，让跑步变得更轻松、更有趣。

Whether you’re training for a marathon or heading out for a quick jog, Spotify wants to help create a soundtrack for your run. On Thursday, the company announced Running Mode, a new fitness feature that lets users tailor playlists based on their run type, length and how much coaching input they want. In a release announcing the feature, Spotify said the new feature “helps you spend less time hunting for the right music and more time moving.” The feature offers 25 curated playlists spanning a variety of genres and divided into five categories: Just Run, Easy Run, Interval Runs, Pyramid Runs and Long and Advanced Runs. It also breaks down each song by beats per minute, helping runners match their pace to the music. Playlists begin at 20, 30 or 45 minutes, but can be customized. Thursday’s Long and Advanced Pop Run starts with Bruno Mars’ That’s What I Like at 134 bpm before slowing to Chappell Roan’s Good Luck, Babe! at 114 bpm. When the song begins, a coaching voice plays through your headphones offering a bit of direction: “Let the chorus lift you a little, but keep it smooth.” The playlist then jumps to 151 bpm during the third song, Zara Larsson’s Midnight Sun. The Spotify playlists are automatically set to update daily, so you won’t constantly hear the same songs, even if you stick with the same workout or run length. If you find a playlist you love, though, you can download it for safekeeping. You can further customize your playlist by selecting a 30- to 90-minute duration that matches your run and fine-tune the transitions between songs. Running Mode arrives months after Spotify announced a partnership with fitness company Peloton, further expanding the streaming service’s presence in the fitness world.
