Your Music, Your Rhythm, Your Perfect Run

Unlike the countless generic running playlists online, Song2Run creates playlists that are truly tuned to YOUR preferences. Because the perfect running playlist isn't just about matching your cadence—it's about matching your soul.

Your musical taste is as important as your running rhythm. That's why Song2Run offers two powerful ways to understand what you love:

Import from Spotify

Connect your Spotify account and let Song2Run instantly analyze your listening history, favorite tracks, and saved playlists. We'll understand your musical DNA in seconds.

AI Chat Assistant

Prefer to describe what you want? Have a conversation with our AI assistant. Tell it you love "upbeat 80s rock" or "chill electronic with good bass"—it understands and learns your preferences.

Only after understanding YOUR taste, we apply advanced filtering based on song attributes like energy, danceability, and BPM to perfectly match your training needs. The result? Playlists you'll actually love running to.

Science-Backed Filters for Peak Performance

Once we know your musical preferences, Song2Run applies advanced audio analysis to ensure every track optimizes your running performance. Our intelligent filtering system analyzes three scientifically-proven metrics:

BPM (Beats Per Minute)

The rhythm of your music directly influences your running cadence. Our BPM filter matches songs to your target steps per minute (SPM), helping you maintain consistent pace.

Elite runners target 180 SPM, but Song2Run works for any cadence between 120-180. Find your perfect musical match for every pace—from recovery jogs to race day sprints.

Energy Level

Fast BPM doesn't always mean motivating music. Using Spotify's energy metric, we analyze track intensity and activity.

Songs scoring above 50 provide driving force when fatigue hits. For interval training or tempo runs, filter for 70+ energy to fuel maximum performance.

Danceability

Catchiness and rhythmic stability keep you locked in the zone. Our danceability filter identifies tracks with clear, steady beats your body naturally syncs with.

High danceability means consistent rhythm—no jarring tempo changes or weak beats. Combined with energy, this ensures every song genuinely enhances your run.

No more mid-run disappointments. Song2Run eliminates low-energy tracks and rhythm-lacking songs before they sabotage your workout. Every playlist contains only tracks scientifically optimized for running.

Smart Playlist Types for Every Workout

Different workouts demand different musical approaches. Song2Run intelligently structures your personalized tracks to match your training methodology—whether you're building endurance or chasing personal records.

Recovery Runs

Low-intensity, high-value. Recovery runs build aerobic base without overtraining. Our tool selects moderate-energy tracks (40-60) with steady danceability to encourage sustainable pace.

Even elite athletes prioritize these slower runs. The right music helps you resist the urge to speed up and maximizes recovery benefits.

Interval Training (HIIT)

Alternating intensity cycles. Song2Run arranges your playlist to alternate between explosive high-energy tracks (70+) for sprint segments and moderate tracks for recovery intervals.

Your music structure perfectly mirrors your workout structure—letting you focus on crushing each interval instead of checking your watch.

Fartlek Training

"Speed play" in Swedish. The spontaneous nature of fartlek training pairs perfectly with dynamic playlists featuring varied tempos and unpredictable energy shifts.

Let the music guide your pace changes naturally—adding fun and variety while building speed endurance.

Progressive Runs

Build to peak, then cool down. Song2Run creates arc-shaped playlists: lower BPM for warm-up, crescendo to high-energy peak effort, then moderate tracks for safe cool-down.

The musical journey matches your physiological journey—building intensity as your body warms up, supporting max effort, and guiding you down safely.

Never suffer through the wrong soundtrack again.

Our specialized sorting options arrange your favorite tracks in optimal order for your chosen workout. Whether you're crushing intervals or floating through an easy long run, Song2Run provides the perfect musical companion.
