Now runners can visit a special website and create a tracklist based on the route they're taking, their taste in music and just how much they want to feel the burn. The Boost Your Run site is simple to use, offering a selection of well-known existing running routes to choose from based on your location, and the playlist is created by entering your ultimate running song.
All you need to get started is a Spotify account. The created playlist will show up in it marked as #boostyourrun: then it's just a matter of saving it for later use.

The playlist will still be created in the same way but the tracks will be accessible via Spotify offline playback on the watch, meaning that there'll be no need to take your phone on your run to listen to music.
