Spotify Running

Hey joggers, your phone can now pick your music based on how fast you're running

Irish Spotify users can expect the feature in the coming weeks.

SPOTIFY REVEALED A new โ€œRunningโ€ option for its mobile app during an event today.

The new Spotify app will use sensors in your mobile device to figure out your running pace. Youโ€™ll be able to pick a track that fits your personal tastes in music, or you can let Spotify choose for you.

It was also announced that Spotify is creating original music that adapt to your running pace and change tempo and intensity. So far, there are six of these tracks, one of which is composed by electronic music legend, Tiesto.  Spotify will also integrate with the Nike and RunKeeper running apps.

This is an interesting new feature for fitness enthusiasts that brings about a new level of automation for music so we donโ€™t get distracted during our workouts.

Spotify said the app update will be rolling out today to the US, UK, Germany, and Sweden, and more countries can expect the update over the next few weeks.

    What do they mean by โ€œfixated behaviourโ€. Was he looking at her or what.

    @Ray Ridge: rumour has it, he was playing a little bit of tennis with his own tennis balls. His serve was a master stroke, and Emma was his opponent

    Why wasnโ€™t he arrested instead of kicking him out.

    @Papa Kilo: Without wishing to make light of a potentially serious situation, for what exactly? The bloke who walked 23 miles to knock on her front door on the other handโ€ฆ.

    @Justin Robinson: Iโ€™m sure Emma knows when she is being stalked. There is no need to second guess her intuition. If she felt unsafe then that is enough.

    @Phil McCabe: letโ€™s hope we donโ€™t start banging people up on โ€œintuitionโ€, or โ€œhow she feltโ€

    Whatever terminology was used is pure semantics. The poor girl was obviously in a very distressed state and needs to be taken seriously. Some of the comments here give the impression she was over reacting. There are a lot of freaks out there whose behaviour is deliberately borderline, in order to create the impression that there isnโ€™t really anything going on. This is a shockingly sinister development and needs to be treated as such.

    @Dave Campbell: the cynics probably too young to remember the what happened to Monica Seles
