# Responsive Running Apps Weav Run's Music Adapts to Suit a Runner's Pace & Boosts Performance By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-07-06 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weav-run References: [wellandgood](https://www.wellandgood.com/weav-run-app/) & [run.weav.io](https://run.weav.io/) Music can offer a great boost to any physical workout and the Weav [Run](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/float-run) app uses technology to match music to a user's movements. With Weav Music, the first-of-its-kind technology is used to change a song's tempo to match the pace of a runner. The experience makes it possible for a runner to sync their footsteps to the beat, helping to elevate their performance. While there are countless playlists for [running that can be found online](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/negative-split), this experience offers [science-backed benefits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apollo-sessions). As Weav's Lars Rasmussen describes, "Research in synchronicity and sports has shown that for the reasonably active person, you see a 10 to 15% improvement in performance in terms of how long you’re running or how fast you run. And they’ve measured that the brain starts producing endorphins when we move in sync with the beat of the music."
