Apple isn’t slowing down when it comes to new features for the . This several more that will be added on January 10th, including Time to Run. This is a twist on the experience, in which they bring narration and a playlist to accompany the walks.
The purpose of Time to Run is to help people “become more consistent and better runners”. It explores some popular running routes from various cities and features playlists designed to evoke the spirit of these locations and match the intensity and training of each race. The first three episodes coming out on Monday are based on London, Brooklyn and Miami Beach. A new episode will be released every week.
Instead of famous guests, well-known Fitness+ trainers will lead the Time to Run sessions. On your Apple Watch, you can see the photos taken by the trainer along the way. You can view these images in the workout summary and save them to your photo library. For those using a wheelchair, the feature will be renamed to Run Time or Push, and they will be able to select a run or an outdoor running pace workout.
Apple told Ploonge that Time to Run episodes last about 30 or 60 minutes, which is longer than the typical Time to Walk runtime of 25 to 40 minutes. Other fitness apps offer audio-guided running features such as Aaptiv, Nike+Run Club, and Runtastic. Apple isn’t exactly breaking new ground here, but Fitness+ users will have another option to break a sweat.
