If you are looking for another way to mix up your runs, you should take a look into the Weav Run app.
What is it? The Weav Run app is a mobile (currently only for iOS) app that adjusts the music you’re listening to in order to match your cadence/running speed. 
What does that mean? Well, in short, when you run faster, the music will also get faster and when you slow down, the music also slows down.
How does that benefit me? If you’re looking to improve your mile time, beat a personal record, or just listen to more upbeat music when you run, this is probably the app for you. I don’t know about you, but when I run to music, I will dance along to it. If it’s a super motivating song, you will definitely see me run faster. Music is such a motivator for me so if the music is upbeat, you know I will be too.
I’ve been using this app since Thanksgiving and I really enjoy it. It’s super useful during my interval training runs. 🙂
What if the music sounds weird at the pace I’m running at? The Weav Run founders have mixed the music so that even though the pace is a bit faster, the singers will not sound like chipmunks. Hooray! The transition is fairly smooth. If you are a bit concerned about the pacing, you can also set your cadence and have the music set at a specific beats per minute. That’s what I do. At each interval, I will increase the cadence a bit more and it’s really helped with my training.
What type of music does the app have? That’s a great question. They currently have 25 songs including “Believer” by Imagine Dragons, “Basically Over You” by Alex Newell, “Ms Jackson” by OutKast, and “It’s Tricky” by Run DMC. They’re working on expanding their playlist so don’t worry about it being limited. 🙂 As a BibRave Pro, I was able to beta test some of their new features and even listen to their expanded playlist and trust me, they’re awesome.
If you questions regarding the app, please feel free to ask me or read any of the reviews written by other BibRave Pros.

Question for you: How do you mix your runs up? Do you run intervals? With music?

But what if I WANT it to sound like chipmunks? 😝

Haha. Maybe move the cadence up to max? I’ve actually never done that before. 😂

Oh, I have been looking for something like this but it seems like you have to use the app’s playlist. In the past, I would make specific playlists to have faster songs at points of a race where I would need a pick me up. I wonder if there is an app that can do that with your existing playlist. I remember that the Nike app had a “power play” feature.

I remember thinking the same thing about modifying my own playlist. Apparently, there is a risk of increasing the tempo of the songs and having the songs be extremely distorted when you do it to your own playlist. The Weav app will definitely be expanding their playlist in the future. It takes a bit of work to get the licensing for the songs. 🙂

I figure as much. I guess that I will have to stick to the old way of making my specialized playlists.

I just downloaded a 180bpm playlist to get used to a faster cadence (I was slower, something around 165 I think, this app sounds interesting
