Sounds
Coach plays over the music
Exact BPM. Seamless transitions. Music built for the run.
Your watch has a plan. Your music doesn't.
Six 3-minute reps on the watch. Shuffle on your headphones.
Your watch knows you're doing intervals. Your headphones have no idea. They've never been introduced.
The 180 BPM playlist isn't 180 BPM.
Spotify's BPM tags are notoriously off. Half the songs in a "180 spm" playlist aren't. Your cadence pays the price.
One tempo for the whole run.
Warmup, threshold, cooldown: a flat-BPM playlist plays them identically. Your training needs three different paces.
The mix is the workout.
Tell Beatpace what you're running and it builds the mix around it. Four ways to start: from a session description, a saved template, the public library, or a clone of a mix you liked. The music itself becomes the structure: every block designed and BPM-locked for what you're doing.
Describe it
Type the session in your own words. "6 × 3 min at threshold, 90 sec easy between." Beatpace builds the whole mix.
Pick from the library
Browse mixes built by the community and by us. Hit play, or clone one and make it yours.
Start from a template
Proven workout templates: tempo, threshold, VO₂, Norwegian 4×4, long run. Pick one, tweak it, generate.
Build block by block
Full control. Warmup, work blocks, recoveries, cooldown: set duration, BPM, and energy for each.
Plan the run. Run it from one screen.
Design your session once. Beatpace builds the mix block-by-block. Run it from your phone, your browser, or your watch.
Music intensity matches the block. Tempo holds. Threshold cruises. VO₂ peaks at the start of every rep. Recoveries actually recover.
Every mix runs in any browser. Most of our runners take it to the wrist.
Already have a plan
Your plan, already in the mix.
Connect once. Beatpace reads your planned sessions and builds each one as a mix, at the cadence each block asks for.
And for the runs you didn't plan, Forever Radio.
For when you walk out the door without a session in mind. Set a tempo, hit play, and the music runs as long as you do.
One BPM target · continuous · change tempo or energy any time
The weekend long run
25K through the park. Hit a hill? Crank the tempo. Cruising a flat? Let it breathe.
No plan today
Out the door, not sure what pace feels right. Start at 150, drop or push as your legs decide.
The running soundtrack you didn't know you needed.
Cinematic music with a steady, sustained beat. Built for the part of the run where the legs ask why, and the music answers.
Why beat-locked music works.
Auditory-motor synchronization
Your nervous system locks footstrike to a rhythmic beat, automatically, with no conscious effort. A 3% tempo shift moves your cadence before you notice.
Lower perceived effort
Synchronous music has been shown to reduce RPE by ~10% at submaximal intensities (Karageorghis & Priest, 2012).
Steadier cadence, less drift
When fatigue normally degrades form late in workouts, beat-locked music keeps your cadence steady, so your turnover doesn't slip even when your legs do.
Run your way
Phone in your pocket. Or just your Garmin.
Beatpace runs in any browser: phone, tablet, computer. Open it, hit play, lock the screen, run. Got a Garmin with music? The Connect IQ app is live now, install it and leave the phone home.
- Workout-aware playback: music shifts when your block shifts
- Wrist-native on Garmin: full controls on the watch, no phone needed
- Whole mix loads up front: once it's playing, dead zones and bad reception don't touch it
From the founder
I'm a long-distance runner. I built Beatpace because I couldn't find music that matched my workouts, not just my mood. Cycling instructors picked it up first, since they live and die by BPM. Now it's looping back to the audience I built it for.

FAQ
Is this AI-generated music or licensed tracks?
Original AI music, no real artists, no scraped voices, no deepfakes. The tracks exist only inside Beatpace; you won't find them on Spotify or any other library. But it's not just AI music either. Every track is built for running: steady beat that doesn't drift, energy that holds inside a block and shifts when the block shifts. Hit play above and judge for yourself.
Can I run without my phone?
Yes. Most runners use Beatpace right in their phone browser: pocket or arm strap, screen locked, music keeps playing. With a supported Garmin, you can leave the phone home entirely and run from the watch with Bluetooth headphones.
What watches are supported?
Music-capable Garmins. That's Forerunner 165/245/255/265/570/745/945/955/965/970 Music, Fenix 6 Pro family (6 Pro, 6S Pro, 6X Pro), Fenix 7, 8, 9 (incl. Fenix E), Epix 2 and Epix Pro, Enduro 3, Venu (music models, incl. Venu X1), Vivoactive 4/5/6, MARQ Gen 2, Descent Mk2/Mk3, Approach S70, and the matching Tactix and D2 variants. Older watches (Forerunner 645 Music, Fenix 5 Plus, Vivoactive 3 Music) aren't on the list yet. Full list and details on the Garmin page.
Can I keep using Spotify too?
Yes. Beatpace and Spotify live alongside each other on your Garmin. Garmin plays one music provider at a time, so you pick which one is active from the watch music settings. Most runners switch to Beatpace for structured workouts and back to Spotify for everything else.
How is this different from a BPM playlist?
A playlist can match BPM. A Beatpace mix matches your training. Three real differences: the BPM is actually right (public BPM playlists are notoriously mislabeled). Each block is the exact length you asked for, so 4:00 hard means 4:00, not 3:42 because that was the song length. And the music shifts when your block shifts: no songs that drift 4 BPM by the chorus, no half-tempo bridges mid-rep, no breakdowns mid-threshold. Plus it runs native on your watch.
Can Beatpace read my training plan?
Yes. Connect intervals.icu, AI Endurance, TrainerDay or Tredict, and Beatpace reads your planned sessions. Tonight's workout becomes the mix: each block at its own cadence, block lengths matching the plan. Your platform stays the source of truth. Beatpace only reads.
I'm using Runna / TrainingPeaks / Stryd. Does this conflict?
No, and those four connections are not the only way to use Beatpace. Runna, TrainingPeaks, Stryd, Garmin DSW and your coach's spreadsheet all work fine alongside it: you pick the workout in Beatpace, your training app tracks the run. Connected today: intervals.icu, AI Endurance, TrainerDay, Tredict. Want yours next? Tell us.
What if the music isn't quite my thing?
Tell us. Seriously: email us, message us, what's missing, what's too much, which genre you wish we had. We're a small team and the library grows every week, weighted toward what runners actually ask for. Try the 14-day free trial first; if it's still not for you, cancel anytime. Fair.
