Has anyone discovered the new spotify running feature on the iPhone app yet? I was on spotify the other day when it popped up, but I usually run with my iPod so I wondered it this might make it worthwhile taking the iPhone out again...?
Apparently you just select Running, Tap a genre you want to run to, Start running and spotify detects your tempo automatically and plays music that matches it for your run!

Sounds amazing. I wonder if it works on Android??? Only thing is, as you get tired and go slower, the music would get slower too and this would slow you down even more. Do I detect a vicious cycle here??
So, I've been using the running option on spotify and so far I love it! It sets itself to your steps a minute that the phone detects - it worked to 155 steps a min for me (spot on my cadence) and you can manually change the number if you want to do some work on it.
What I like is that there are a numbe of different playlists and the music auto blends in and out. No fast forward or pressing play all the time.
Been using it for a couple of months now and I love it! I tend to set the tempo manually rather than letting it detect. "Lock the Flow" and "Blissed Out" are my favorite playlists but "The Chase" is also great for interval training There is definitely something for everyone in there though.
