Spotify Returns to Running Workouts, This Time Powered by AI

Spotify launched Running Mode for Premium iOS users on July 29, 2026, offering AI-generated, tempo-matched running workouts with 25 presets, customizable BPM and duration, and stage-aware audio cues. The feature reuses AI from Spotify's prompted playlists. It marks a return to running a decade after the short-lived 2015 Spotify Running feature — now with personalization the original lacked.
