If you’re a runner that doesn’t have a smartwatch, there’s a good chance you use Strava and your phone’s GPS to track your runs. If you’re also the kind of runner that needs a soundtrack to push yourself to new personal bests, you’ll know that juggling apps while on the move can be an awkward and distracting experience.
Today, Spotify and Strava have announced that everything’s going to get a little simpler. Spotify now has a media widget that appears within Strava itself. This allows runners to access their tunes, podcasts and audiobooks without leaving the app. The widget lets users play, pause, resume, skip and browse content directly from the tracking screen.
