Any runner knows how tough it is to create a solid playlist that will last throughout a run; AudioFuel's [personalized playlists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperpersonalized-playlists-spotify-is-using-advanced-ai-to-create-a-connec) combine coaching and upbeat music that is guaranteed to keep your workout going.

AudioFuel creates playlists of songs specifically mixed for their [beats per minute](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pace-chase). If you time the cadence of your steps to the drum beat for the duration of your run, you'll have paced yourself perfectly--almost as if a personal trainer were running right alongside you.

AudioFuel runners can also download the optional [voiceover coaching](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fitai) for additional motivation. It's perfect for athletes who might need that additional push during the peak portion of the workout.
