Opinion: I made a feature suggestion, just wanted to see if anyone thought it a cool idea. Workout Step Playlists.

So the idea came during a run...go figure. Instead of creating a playlist and get it to somehow follow a workout structure, or no structure at all (sort of how I do it now) How about being able to have the workout change playlists based on step. For instance, a warmup playlist, switches to more up tempo playlist for intervals or speed work, then switches to a mellow playlist for cool down.

Btw. If you didn't know Spotify used to have running cadence detection and playing music matching to it.. and then they gave up.

Nag Spotify to bring it back, it would solve your problem also ;)

Naw I remember that cadence thing, but cadence isn't the issue. More of intensity. Long runs, or just daily runs I'm okay with a single playlist. Just during workouts where I have specific steps. Easy warm up, intense intervals or threshold pace for X miles, then relaxed cool down.

Tempo. But the watch would have to scan songs based on your tempo and fit the songs in on how you made your workout. Seems like a lot of work for the watch to process. I like the idea, but I don't think it'll happen. And wouldn't it be simple just to create your own playlist? This way you can pick the songs instead of the watch playing them at random.
